==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals primarily damage.
*Primary fire releases a continuous beam that can chain to 3 enemies after hitting the initial target, with each chain doing 80% of the previous chain's damage. 
**In Atmospheric Mode, the beam will chain to enemies within 6 meters of initial target. In Archwing Mode, the max chain distance is increased to 30 meters.
***The main beam will automatically lock onto enemies within 15 degrees of the reticle up to 20 meters away in Atmospheric Mode. In Archwing Mode, the max lock-on distance is increased to 160 meters.
***Enemy corpses will still allow the beam to connect to nearby enemies.
**Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
**No Damage Falloff in Archwing Mode.
*Alternate Fire charges and releases an energy grenade that explodes in an 9.6 meter radius upon impacting a surface.
**Pinpoint accuracy.
**Projectile has guaranteed knockdown proc.
**Projectile has infinite punch through on bodies.
**Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
**Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
*Innate polarity.
*Alternate Fire:
**Lower base status chance (34.00% vs. 38.00%)
**Lower fire rate (1.00 vs. 2.00)
==Acquisition==
The Larkspur's blueprint can be researched from the Tenno Lab in the dojo.
==Notes==
*As a Signature Weapon, Larkspur gains a bonus effect with or , gaining an additional 300 Ammo Maximum in Atmospheric mode, for a total of 700.
*A chain will do times the main beams damage, where n is the chain number.
**The damages are: 100% for the main target, 80% for the first in the chain, 64% for the 2nd, and 51.2% for the 3rd.
**Headshotting the original target does not affect damage from the chain beam.
**The beam will chain even if an incapacitated enemy/corpse is chosen as the original target.
*The recoil of the Larkspur's secondary fire is strong enough to push the Warframe back a short distance, which can knock them off cliffs or ledges if players aren't careful.
*The charge rate of the Larkspur's secondary fire can be increased with .
*The Punch Through from will cause the main beam to chain independently from each additional target hit, potentially doubling or tripling the total damage output when fired into a crowd. The chain from the target hit after the Punch Through can deal damage to the first target, and vice versa.
== Trivia ==
* Given the coloration of its base form and the way its 'petals' open and close as the gun fires, the Larkspur very likely derives its name specifically from Delphinium, a genus of 300 flowers in varying shades of purple that are known to be toxic. The juice of these flowers, when mixed with alum, produces a blue ink.
