The Kestrel is a Tenno melee weapon of the Glaive family, but it’s not really a Glaive. It’s a boomerang. If you’ve ever seen the Mad Max movies, then you know how awesome metal boomerangs can be. The Kestrel, though, has the added bonus of bouncing off walls and knocking down enemies, so I personally find it a little more fun than most Glaives, although it is not as powerful as some…As with all thrown melees, using channeling after throwing the weapon will cause an explosion.
