Enfo Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I keep hearing that Cronus is a better choice than Heat sword and that it has higher charge damage. After i finally got my hands on one i do not see any better stats on Cronus, both are practically the same, except that Heat Sword has 0.2 more attack rate. What is the whole issue around this? Am i missing something entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evesoris Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 because you need to do alerts for heat sword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enfo Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I also heard this before it was put into Alerts instead of being a boss drop. Just pondering over it, that's all ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evesoris Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 well my heat sword is just finishing in crafting right now, so i'll look at the differences myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusalki Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Am i missing something entirely? No, you're not. They have the same damage, same charge damage, but Heat Sword is faster by 0.2. Also, this is the feedback forum, might want to try posting in Off-Topic next time. You can also delete your topics by clicking the "Moderate Topic" link at the bottom of the page.

Enjio Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/2780-melee-weapons-basic-stats-list/ There's a post already about basic stats and unique abilities to swords. The heat swords jump attack does fire damage without any elemental modding needed. That's the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkennight Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I just got the heat sword and it seams it does not knock down the enemies on a falling attack like cronus does. I think this would be a major reason to use cronus and not heat sword because at boses/stronger enemies which can be "disabled" for a short time this way. Can anyone confirm this?

I guess that's the major sacrifice for dealing fire damage and being much faster than the Cronus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't do knock down but instead does an AOE fire attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesmer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 i dont people have noticed, but the main reason i dont like heat sword is when you ground slam it doesnt knock people down at all. it just puts them on fire instead of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
