Broken Scepter

The Broken Scepter is the signature staff of the Grineer Elder Queen. It has a special ability that allows the player to 'drain' deceased enemies to gain health or energy orbs.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon primarily deals damage. 
*When wielded, the user can interact with enemy corpses (default ) to Drain Enemy, spawning Health Orbs from organic enemies or Energy Orbs from robotic enemies.
**Drain Enemy ability locks the player into an uninterruptible animation for a moment, leaving them vulnerable to attack.
*Stance slot has a polarity, matches .
*Innate polarity slot.
==Acquisition==
A built Broken Scepter is given on completion of The War Within, complete with a free weapon slot and a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst. A second Broken Scepter will not be given on a replay.
Additional blueprints can be bought from Cephalon Simaris for .
==Notes==
*When standing over an enemy corpse while wielding the Broken Scepter, the player gains the ability to drain the corpse by activating the Drain Enemy prompt on them by holding down on the Use Key (default ). This will deconstruct the corpse in a manner similar to Capture targets, after which the corpse will release an orb. Organic enemies (such as Lancers) will release Health Orbs, while robotic enemies (such as MOAs) will release Energy Orbs instead. As the draining procedure consumes the corpse, this can only be done once per corpse.
**With proper timing, it's possible to both deconstruct and a corpse.
*The Broken Scepter has two small orbs that orbit around it, which act as an indicator of how many times the player can use the Scepter's draining ability consecutively. One orb is consumed when performing a drain, and if both orbs are consumed the player will be unable to drain enemy corpses until the orbs regenerate.
**The orbs' trails remain visible even if the "Visible When Holstered" option is toggled off.
==Trivia==
*During The War Within quest, Teshin reveals that the Scepter is an Orokin artifact that was utilized to command the sworn allegiance of the Orokin's Dax soldiers.
**It is unclear whether the Broken Scepter still allows the player to command the Dax or if it requires the Kuva to be attached.
*The Elder Queen can fire a beam from the scepter. This ability cannot be replicated by the player, which may imply that the beam comes from the Kuva and not the staff itself.
==Bugs==
*Sometimes the scepter will refuse to show the prompts on enemies. If this occurs, switching weapons then back to the scepter again can fix the issue.
