About Cronus
Cronus is a ceramic sword wielded by Captain Vor, the Grineer boss of Mercury. Its blueprint is a boss reward, and the finished weapon can be sold for 5,000 Credits.
The main blueprint drops from Captain Vor, the boss you fight on Tolstoj on Mercury. Since the boss is reachable very early, it makes a convenient low-effort sword to pick up and level for mastery.
Cronus was added with Vanilla (October 2012).
