Question About How Exalted Blade Calculates Damage

[misoru2012]

Does Exalted Blade just use the mods from your equipped melee and apply it to it's own stats, or does it use the modified stats from the equipped melee weapon? In other words, does the equipped melee weapons stats matter? Thanks.

 

EDIT: Also, the wiki page for Exalted Blade (http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Exalted_Blade) has conflicting information. At one point it says damage is even distributed between slash, impact and puncture, but then also says it's distributed as "Base damage is 20% Impact, 10% Puncture, and 70% Slash." Can anyone offer some clarifcation?

only melee mods and power strength

Exalted Blade is technically a separate melee weapon that inherits all of the mods you have on your melee.

It benefits from Warframe and melee mods, melee weapon doesn't affect exalted blade. Mods do.

[Ryansito]

The damage that is distributed evenly are the actual physical blade strikes and the unevenly distributed damage is on the energy waves that come out with each slash

Thank you everyone for the help.

My main question that I have right now is whether having Mods like Molten Impact or North Wind for example on my melee weapon cause Exalted Blade to deal their respective damage types (Fire and Cold) or whichever combination you might have. Or does it only cause them to add to the over all damage which then gets split up into the Impact/Puncture/Slash %'s?

There's nothing special going on at all with EB; it equips your melee mods like any other weapon. It's literally just a sword with its own base stats that copies your melee weapon's mod loadout.

So equipping Molten Impact and North Wind onto your melee will cause EB to deal a large chunk of blast damage, just like any other melee weapon.
