Understand Cobra & Crane Prime
Useful when…
- Use with Baruuk if you want the described first-strike stun.
- Consider normal attacks for their Impact and Puncture damage and high listed status chance.
- Use the regular and heavy slam entries as distinct area attacks.
Baruuk effect and normal attacks
The first strike in a combo stuns enemies when Baruuk wields Cobra & Crane Prime. Normal attacks deal 210 Impact and 90 Puncture, with 18% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 38% status chance. The listed range is about 2.6 m. The stun is specifically tied to Baruuk; it is not described as a general effect for other Warframes.
Separate slam modes and handling
Slam Attack lists 600 Impact damage as an area attack, with falloff from 0 to 7 m and 50% reduction. Heavy Slam lists 900 Blast damage, with falloff from 0 to 8 m and 30% reduction. The weapon lists a 0.7-second Heavy Attack wind-up, a five-second combo duration, and a 70° blocking angle. These are separate attack and handling properties; the regular slam and heavy slam have different damage types and falloff.
Build details and alternatives
The listed recipe requires a blueprint, blade, guard, handle, and 10 Orokin Cells; build price is 15,000 credits and build time is 43,200 seconds. These recipe details do not establish current acquisition availability. The non-Prime Cobra & Crane is also described with a Baruuk-only first-strike effect. Dual Keres Prime is a dual sword whose Heavy Attack Efficiency is enhanced when Khora wields it. Glaive Prime is described as effective in close quarters and when thrown at distant enemies. These alternatives have different weapon types or stated conditions.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Requires Mastery Rank 14.
- The described first-strike stun applies when Baruuk wields it.
- Normal attacks and the two slam modes have different damage profiles.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume the Baruuk-specific first-strike stun applies to other Warframes.
- Do not treat the regular slam's Impact damage and heavy slam's Blast damage as the same mode.
