Playstyle

A flash of red ribbon is the last thing most victims of these throwing-daggers see. Built as a crit secondary option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Spira is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

When to Pick

  • You want a Throwing that fits a crit secondary play pattern.
  • Your loadout needs what Spira does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.
  • You’re ready to Catalyze / Forma it if you plan to main it on Steel Path.

Attack Modes

  • Normal Attack

    Impact 8.2 · Slash 24.6 · Puncture 49.2

    Projectile · Crit 30% / 2× · Status 8% · Fire Rate 2.5 · Projectile 70

Attack Notes

  • Normal Attack (Projectile): Impact 8.2, Slash 24.6, Puncture 49.2.

Upgrades

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.

  • Orokin CatalystCapacity

    Doubles mod capacity so endgame builds fit.

    Usually the first permanent upgrade on a weapon you plan to main.

  • FormaPolarity

    Adds or changes polarities so matching mods cost half capacity.

    expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

  • Exilus Weapon AdapterSlot

    Unlocks utility options (Exilus on guns; melee focuses on stance polarity + utility mods).

    Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.

  • Secondary Arcane AdapterArcane

    Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

    Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

  • Riven ModRiven

    Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.35.

    Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

  • Spira PrimeVariant

    The primed version — stronger stats and usually better polarities.

    Upgrade path when relics/parts are available.

Mod Scaling

Multishot

Usually the highest value damage slot — more projectiles, more procs, more clear.

Critical

Stack crit chance/damage when the weapon’s crit stats justify a crit suite.

Elemental

Faction/elemental lines for Steel Path; Viral+Heat is a safe default on many guns.

Fire Rate

Fire rate raises DPS but burns ammo — pair with reload/ammo economy when needed.

Priority

Multishot → Crit (if crit-viable) → Elemental → QoL ammo/reload.

Mission Usefulness

Mission / ContextRatingWhy
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionStrongTest whether Spira still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsStrongUse Spira when its fire pattern matches fast tile clears — skip if it feels awkward on empty lanes.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationStrongHold objectives by deleting approach packs with Spira, then reposition.
Open World / Long SightlinesSituationalLong sightlines favor hitscan/sniper/bow patterns over short falloff or melee.
Solo Boss / Single-TargetSituationalFine if Spira has strong single-target multipliers; otherwise bring a dedicated boss weapon.

Alternatives

Other options if Spira isn’t the right fit.

  • Spira Prime

    Prime upgrade in the same line as Spira — Spira Prime has lower damage (27%) and higher status (75%). Compare polarities before Forma.

  • Aegrit

    Another Throwing if you want more status than Spira (Aegrit: 19.0%).

  • Cantare

    Another Throwing if you want less crit than Spira (Cantare: 18.0%).
