Best Melee For Rhino

[Filaneous]

I am at present on level 18, and need some advise re this.

[taiiat]

something that does Damage.

 

Melee Weapons only thematically go with specific Warframes. they all perform the same on all Warframes unless that frame has an Ability that affects Melee - which most don't.

[Tveoh]

personally love using the furax fists with my rhino.   But all comes down to how you want to play.  :3.   Yet tend to feel that Rhino needs something that hits heavy.  Like an axe or Hammer,  or if like me, and want something more personally.  A fist Weapon, to make the Enemies know not to mess with a Charging Rhino :3

[xlraistlx]

Any that you want and or have at this moment.

[izzatuw]

For aestethics go for a heavy weapon, maybe a shotgun and Marelok

[Xxaveragecat300xX]

Really anyone can work but since he's a tank melee that you need to get close to use like fist weapons or heavy melee like the scindo or the fragor work good too

He didn't claim to be one. He's refering to his Rhino frame. An Initiate is MR0. You're*.

Moved to a more appropriate section.

To be real for a moment though - whichever melee weapon you actually have a stance for would probably be your best best... with some exceptions *cough*daggers*cough*

[Valletta]

I use Galatine on mine with the stance mod and rhinos armor you can go in swinging.

[Arabaxus]

Atterax 

[TrickyBoomBoom]

this^^^ and the Jak Kittag is a lot of fun...jet powered mace ftw with chunky knockdown. Dual zorens are nice for speeding up a slow frame especially if you dont have the arcane vanguard helmet. Currently using the dual tonfa's for epic spin damage.

[CaptainJohnson]

I'd go for a heavy weapon, but don't try to use any weapon that relies on blocking-- it doesn't work when Rhino's using Iron Skin. In late game, maybe it's more viable, but I'd suggest not worrying about blocking or parrying. Other than that, go wild. Ankryos Prime, Bo Prime, Dakra Prime, Jat Kittag.... in my opinion, he looks pretty cool with any of them.

you do know that the rank in the forums is based on the amount of posts you make right?

[C.Aether]

Rhino with Jat Kittag.

Perfect.

[Filaneous]

I have chosen  dual zorens. With the right mods I am carving them up.

[DerpFromAbove]

Normally the "best" melee weapons tend to be those with slash damage, especially now that the gate crash mods give you bonus to slash damage

 

Let's see:

 

-) Dragon Nikana (that one was obvious)

 

-) Sheev (the dagger rewarded for completing the last part of the gate crash event which is up right now. It comes with a pre-installed OrokinCatalyst

 

-) Atterax (the new grineer whip)

 

-) Most prime versions of the slash damage weapons

 

-) Bo prime is not bad either

 

But Rhino/Rhino prime is not a really good warframe to go melee at all once you get to the harder parts of the solar system. I recommend going with Valkyr for a pure Melee class. Its components drop on AladV

A lot of the weapons being mentioned have MR requirements and the OP can't equip them. Good advice guys.

 

Anyway, 'best' is relative--if you are looking for the most dmg possible at MR 0 then i hate to disappoint you but all the weapons at that lvl are similar in dps. What sets them apart are their utility. Dual ethers will stagger on every hit, dual heat swords have a fire proc aoe groundslam that can give you some breathing room, fang is great for mobility especially on a slow rhino, kogake...well they attack really fast and have decent crit chance.

 

I'd recommend all four, lvl them for MR and keep the one you like.

kinda like your other weapons, you might want to pick a couple for different enemy (choosing a slash, puncture, or impact item) or if you have access to one, an elemental damage weapon (like the plasma sword?) that can be configured for the various types.   It also depends on how much you use it and how you use it.   If it is mostly a can opener to you, anything will do.   If you want a silent ranged weapon, the thrown glaive (and prime when you can) might do.   If you want a big jump impact, some are better than others.   If you use it a LOT to fight, tailored to enemy with a stance you like and more become important.  

 

I use the nami skyla and mostly use it on infested or the occasional sneak attack or melee enemy kill.
