Best Melee Weapon?

[Lord_Kimfu]

Hi guys,

 

Ive been playing Warframe on PC alot now, and my set up is: Ember, Boltor, Dex Furis and Galatine, with Shade as my sentinel.

 

I really would like to try out some new melee weapons. Im not too sure about charge weapons so if we could avoid them to a certain extent that would be nice. And yes i am aware that Galatine is a charge weapon. If you guys could offer some good melee weapons or nice ways of modding my current weapon, 'Galatine' That would be nice.

 

Thanks guys!

Orthos is always a good option, prime or not.

I will tell you the answer after Melee 2.0 :3

I have Orthos lvl 30, and just wanted to check what else there was. Thanks anyway!

Well, Honestly we can't really answer that question. I mean sure we can tell you what's good NOW. But the issue lies in the fact that in the next day or so we should be getting melee 2.0 which has the very real possibility of changing what's good and what's not. Ala what happened with the torid with damage 2.0.

 

My personal expectation's is that instead of just nerfing the good weapons and "Changing things up" They're making all melee viable, which is precisely the reason i've not been deleting my melee weapons as of late. So if I were you i'd just tough it out for the time being.

Dual Zoren, while mostly used for movement they are quite fun, Ichors, Fangs.

 

Personally I like the Glaive (prime) with whirlwind and power throw, no bounces.

 

If you like spinning attacks you could try Heat swords, got a nice fire "cc" on drop-down strikes. OR dual Kamas. They have 150 spin dam and the fastest attack + damage iirc.

You should focus on charge build if u want to make orthos a powerful melee weapon :3

Orthos prime

[BlissfulAokii]

Try out the Jat Kittag, you might like it~

A redeeming feature of it that sets it apart from most heavy weapons is that you.re still able to move pretty freely even while charging.

Okay, ill do that.

Just wait 3-4 days before you get anything new.

[Vanhline]

everything melee is going to be completely different here in like 60ish hours.

[Yaerion]

I switch between Orthos Prime(polyvalence), Jat Kittag(large AoE+heavy impact) and Dual Ichor(high dps)

I used to like Glaive, but now its DPS is too low+ too much constraints.

i love being on ps4 yall get the update first while i get to find out whats going to be the best thing i can work on it to have it rdy

[Jeloxale]

Try glaive, before and after Damage 2.0 It's really nice weapon and I'm considering putting a catalyst on it.

[Lord_Kimfu]

I think ill wait a few days for the next melee update, then ask the question again and see whats up.

If you have research, the Scoliac is actually pretty good. 

 

I'll be trying it when the update comes up, but from what I've tasted, it is an amazing sweet savour of long-range melee. Excellent damage, too. It's also got impressive slash damage, and the sound effect of the whip is pretty impressive.

[Shadow977]

Glaive is the best ever.

[--Gancrothor--]

Orthos Prime is one of my best prime weapon like i increased damage with 2x damage (vault mod)

You forgot the corrosive charge attack elemental damage and the toxic slam attack if the wiki is to be believed. You can zoren copter with it as well! it'll be one of the weapons ill be trying after 2.0

jat kittag for 360 degrees charge attacks and hits hard too while retaining your mobility when spinning around like a madmen, plus it knockdowns any type of enemy excluding bosses and also have a quite a reach. dunno about melee 2.0 though just wait until the update hits before building a melee weapon
