Despair, Kunai, Hikou Too Similar Since Dmg2.0

[Psychosist]

If you compare their stats from the Codex, you can generalize they are

 

• Okay/Decent for Corpus

• Good/Great for Grineer

• Terrible/Subpar for Infested

 

This wasn't anything like DMG1, where each blade had its faction niche: Despair was great for Corpus and excellent for Grineer, Hikou was extraordinary for Infested and good everywhere else, while Kunai was the middle ground and did x1 to everything.

 

Now the blades are meshed into each other, and there's no real reason to go out and collect all three anymore unless you're looking for Mastery fodder. I think the blades should each have their niches again; I've thought of some rough stats that I thought would best reflect each blade:

 

Despair

Impact - 10

Puncture - 40

Slash - 5

 

Kunai

Impact - 40

Puncture - 10

Slash - 5

 

Hikou

Impact - 2.5 (5)

Puncture - 5 (10)

Slash - 20 (40)

(remember firing speed is twice that of Kunai/Despair)

 

Obviously, Despair will be good for Grineer, Kunai will be for Corpus, and Hikou will be for Infested. Thus, a purpose for keeping these three within your arsenal. Seriously, I have all three of them right now and it's really feeling like I'm wasting inventory space and it's really bothering me.
