Does detonating glaive prime(or any glaive really) dismember enemies?

[Si1verBlood]

I have been farming Tellurium on Uranus, and I am trying to maximize Nekros' Desecrate. Glaive prime is the current best "melee" I have, and I was wondering if I have been sabotaging myself by using the glaive detonation mechanic, since the numbers I see pop up, most of the time, are impact and not slash.

That weapon's explosion damage is blast, but the hits are still IPS

If you're looking for an alternative, Ripkas has an amalgam mod that dismembers on any kill source (guns, abilities, etc)

If you're farming solo you're already sabotaging yourself so look no further.

If you look carefully at glaive on wiki, you will notice a few things: https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Glaive

• Thrown glaive deals primarily  Blast damage.
• Thrown glaive has a guaranteed  Impact proc.
• Heavy Attacks while the glaive is in mid-flight produce a 4.8 meter explosion and forces the glaive to return.
• Explosion inflicts a guaranteed  Impact proc.

The dismemberment for a Nekros' Desecrate is not all that important really.
