**Innate 1 meter punch through.
**Thrown glaive is silent.
**Heavy Attacks while the glaive is in mid-flight produces a 5.1 meter explosion and forces the glaive to return.
***Explosion inflicts a guaranteed proc.
***Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
***No Damage Falloff.
***Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
***Explosion has a headshot multiplier of 1x and cannot trigger headshot conditions.
**Cannot use melee attacks or block while the glaive is in mid-flight.

*Stance slot has polarity, matching , and (Conclave only) stance.
*Two innate and one polarities.
**Higher explosion radius (5.1m vs 4.9m)
==Acquisition==

The weapon can be traded, but only for unranked copies without Forma and Orokin Catalyst installed. The trading recipient must also have a Mastery Rank of at least 13.
==Notes==
*When equipping the Halikar Wraith, the player can throw it and then press the melee button to detonate the Halikar Wraith, dealing high AoE damage and returning to the player immediately. This is true for all thrown melee weapons.
**This is very useful for regenerating health with .
**It can explode in this manner when not equipped and thrown, but the explosion timing cannot be controlled and will often stagger the user in close quarters.
**It should be however noted that finisher attacks can still be executed while the weapon is in the air.
*The Halikar Wraith is a unique weapon as it is the second equipable weapon (after ) capable of disarming an enemy. This capability was initially reserved for Warframe abilities, including .
**This capability is removed whilst under the effect of a Proc.
**Disarm chance is determined by the weapon's status chance.
*Unlike the and the , the Halikar Wraith has a limited degree of homing capability in-flight by gently curving its flight path via thrusters. However, this ability only benefits targeting at longer range and is lost after the first bounce.
*Certain enemies cannot be disarmed, e.g. Ospreys or Capture Targets.
*The Halikar has a base range similar to the Kestrel, or 3/4 that of the Glaive. Like with other thrown weapons, using on the Halikar will increase flight speed as well as distance traveled, because the flight time is constant. A fully levelled will increase the maximum distance to ~63m.
*When used within Clan Duels, the enemy will have their weapon removed permanently and the wielder will have their weapon slot replaced with the stolen weapon.
**Both the original weapon and the stolen weapon will be returned upon leaving the Clan Dojo.
==Tips==
*While hard to achieve, it is possible to disarm several enemies with one throw.
**To get this to work in a way other than hoping for lucky rebounds, one can either use for direct hits or a fully levelled to hit them on the way back, as it will have a predictable return path and punch through everything on the way back.
**The latter works even better in combination with when aiming past a lined-up group of enemies at a nearby wall and following up with a quick sidestep.
*Using is highly recommended as it can lead to easier headshots.
==Trivia==
*The Halikar's name is derived from Chalikar which is another name for Chakrams, a throwing weapon from which Glaive-type weapons are based.
== Bugs ==
* An unranked copy of Jen Dro's weapon can be stolen from her by using the Halikar thrown attack. It will replace the player's secondary weapon if they have one, which will hover in mid air.
* Disarmed enemies in the Simulacrum will sometimes try to attack the player even when the "Pause AI" option is toggled on.
