A gift from the Lotus to commemorate the awakening of the first Tenno from Cryo stasis.

The **Dex Dakra** is a unique dual-sword melee weapon released in celebration of WARFRAME's 2nd Anniversary. It is made available to players during Warframe's yearly anniversary.

As an anniversary weapon, the Dex Dakra comes with its own weapon slot and pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.

## Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  damage.

**Advantages:**

* Second highest base damage of all Dual Swords, behind Dual Kamas Prime/Twin Krohkur.
	+ High  damage – effective against health.
* Tied with Dark Split-Sword and Twin Basolk for the second highest slide attack damage of all Dual Swords, behind Twin Krohkur and Dual Kamas Prime.
* High status chance.
* Stance slot has File:Zenurik Pol.svg polarity, matches {{#vardefine:Name|Swirling Tiger}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found stance.
* Has a File:Naramon Pol.svg polarity.

**Disadvantages:**

* Low  and  damage – less effective against shields and armor.
* Low critical chance.
* Tied with Dual Cleavers and Dual Skana for the slowest attack speed of all Dual Swords.

## Weapon Loadouts

* See Category:Conclave:Dex Dakra Guides for guides on how to use this weapon effectively.
* For more general help with weapons, you may wish to browse Category:Weapon Guides.

## Notes

* The Dex Dakra's slam attack does not knockdown enemies, it instead deals  proc on affected enemies, stunning them briefly. There also seems to be a chance of a  proc instead of an  proc.

## Possible Bugs

* In multiplayer, when you have the {{#vardefine:Name|Swirling Tiger}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found stance equipped, continuous melee attacks with the Dex Dakra while holding the forward movement key (Default: W) can sometimes cause you to go backwards. Releasing W while attacking can fix this. - Tested between updates 20.0.2 (24/03/2017) and 20.1.0 (05/04/2017)

## Trivia

* The Dex Dakra is the second Dex weapon released, after the Dex Furis.
	+ Dex Dakra is also the first *Dex* melee.
* While related to the Dakra Prime due to its similar name and design as a saber, the Dex Dakra is a Dual Sword instead of being a single Sword weapon.
* When performing a ground slam, the Dex Dakra features a unique animation where energy ribbons emanate from the Warframe, along with a visible shock-wave being emitted from the weapon.
* For a short period of time following its release, the Dex Dakra had no Stance polarity before it was fixed in an undocumented hotfix.
* The Dex Dakra was first given to all players who logged in from March 25, 2015, to April 1, 2015. They were re-released from March 22, 2016 to March 29, 2016 alongside the Dex Furis and Dex Sybaris, March 24, 2017 to March 27, 2017. The latest re-release of the 3 weapons and a Dex Nouchali Syandana occurred during March 14, 2018 to March 28, 2018.
