Nikana Prime got a bit of a kick

[Zambad]

So it seems Nikana Prime got a bit strong with The Old Blood...

[SordidDreams]

Uh-huh. Now try with the AI turned on.

[Hawkstormz]

Decisive Judgement is still jacked up, though.

This. Pretty sure if the ai is turned off you get stealth multiplier applied. Hence why every single hit was a critical despite you having a 17.6% critical chance.

Yup. I'm not sure what the exact math is but unaware enemies take way more melee damage. Enemies with AI turned off are unaware.

This exact video is where I got the inspiration from as I remembered that I have a riven.

Nikana Prime is really strong stat wise:

• high base dmg (comparable to two handers while having attack speed of 1 hander)
• high crit rate
• high status rate

nikana prime is very good, i've tested against 165 heavy gunners with the AI turned on, and it's still fairly melty 🙂

release our inner weebs

Actually the UI doesn't list the stealth attack bonus... I wonder if it really happens or not.

Stealth multiplier is why Loki is the best melee in the game 😛

you mean ash that can increase slash damage and strip armor

[Melanholic7]

Thats a good weapon, but

1) 100% not the strongest one. There are alot weapons with better stats/stuff

2) riven dispo - 0.5. This is really pathetic, while other stronger weapons have higher dispo).  

so....strange post.  

P.S. DE, buff tatsu =/ She is weaker than my kubrow.

Got the weapon ranked up to the point where I could repeat the build I had on the video and tried it with the AI on. No difference in performance, still shreds through them.

I agree, there's no way it's the strongest weapon when we take rivens into account. What have you found to be the strongest so far?
