Garuda Talons

Garuda Talons are 's signature Claws inflicting high damage, with very high Status Chance. Garuda defaults to them when no other Melee Weapon is equipped. In most respects they are a normal Weapon and not an Exalted Weapon, but they do share some characteristics with the latter. 
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals primarily damage.
*Innate and polarities.
==Notes==
*As the user technically does not have a Melee Weapon equipped, Garuda Talons cannot be used in missions requiring a Melee Weapon, such as Melee Only Sorties. 
**As the talons still count as merely a Weapon, not a Warframe Ability like the Exalted Weapons, they cannot be used in any other Weapon-restricted Sorties either.
**This manifests via her talons not appearing in-game during such Sorties.
*If a Nightwave act requires only a ranged Weapon equipped, be it Primary or Secondary, Garuda can use her talons to finish off enemies in melee and still complete the challenge.
**If another act does require a Melee-only setup, she still has to equip another Melee Weapon.
*Similarly to Exalted Weapons, this Weapon:
**can gain Ranks but does not contribute to Mastery Rank.
**can damage enemies even inside 's Rift Plane.
**does not affect equipped Weapon Affinity.
**does not receive Riven Mods.
**adds kill and assist stats to its Warframe owner (Garuda in this case), as it does not have its own Codex entry.
**does not benefit from the or status critical bonuses. 
**can not be duplicated; additional copies of Garuda inherit the original weapon, along with all polarities and build/appearance configurations.
**can not equip Melee Arcane Enhancements.
**can not damage Arbitration Shield Drones.
*Unlike other Exalted Weapons, this weapon:
**can equip Melee Combo Counter Mods, Acolyte Mods (e.g., ), or Amalgam Mods (e.g., ).
**does not scale with strength mods on .
*Equipping on Garuda herself also grants a direct effect on Garuda Talons, with 100% additional combo count chance when striking enemies with procs at max mod rank.
==Tips==
*Because Garuda Talons can damage enemies even while she is in the Rift Plane, Garuda synergizes well with 's to provide her virtually indefinite invulnerability while unleashing havoc.
==Trivia==
*Unlike other Claw Weapons, Garuda Talons are prehensile, as shown during her idle animations.
*Garuda Talons is currently the only Exalted Weapon whose variant has different stats to its standard counterpart, the latter being a direct upgrade.
*Garuda Talons were called "Garuda's Talons" prior to .
