Scindo Prime, easily. 

 

Build it with a Berserker-crit build, toss on an Arcane Strike syandana, and use Rending Crane. The damage multipliers are insane, and the speeds are ungodly. 

 

If there's something that needs to die, and die quickly, I use Scindo Prime. It's a freight train. 

awesome tip thanks man

I gotta go with the galiten on this one. The damage is close the the jat and sicindo p and the improved range is nice it is also quite fast.

[saintsspider]

oh well i changed the built of my Dragon nikana and now it does a WOOPING 80k damage .... hahaah and this isnt even a stealth damage , just a normal finisher damage .... hahahha so OP... 

[Fullmetal_Underpants]

Scindo Prime + Cleaving Whirlwind/Tempo Royale

Scindo prime...   *not even remotely innocent whistle...*

This, but I prefer Galatine for the range.

 

And if they make Galatine Prime one day... *Drools*

If they do make galatine prime, they'll pull a soma prime and make it marginally better. Then everyone will cry and say it sucks even though it is still better than the previously best melee weapon.

I prefer utility on my melees, usually I roll with status/elemental weapons, Lecta, Dark Dagger, Tonbo, Serro or hard hiting when I want damage Fragor, Jat Kit, Scindo P, Prisma Cleavers, Dakra Prime,Redeemer.

But on void Glaive Prime with toxic for Nullifers, Dark Dagger for the AOE viral and Lecta my most used melee on the game because the high status plus amazing range, it just need an augment to be perfect.

Prisma Skana is good. Even without syndicate mod. It can hit extremely fast with Berserker build and Crimson Dervish has one of the best combos in game. Nikana's fine but for me it feels clumsy, regardless of stance.

[TheBrsrkr]

Scindo Prime and Boltace mostly.

Scindo prime is a beast to

Dual Ichors just do it for annihilating EVERYTHING

Agreed. The Dual Ichor is a Crit/ elemental damage beast. I hardly see any love for them though.

Players are missing out!

[sappinmahsentry]

Ninkondi is bae.

[steamrick]

Dragon Nikana is good, but I'll take the Scindo Prime with Tempo Royale over it any day if I want some serious melee damage.

 

The reason?

No, it's not damage or DPS or anything like that. It's even simpler and even more important: Knockdown resistance.

 

With Dragon Nikana (at least with Blind Justice, haven't tested the other stances if they're different in this regard) a Heavy Gunner or other mob with close-range knockdown will knock you over every time, which leads to you taking lots of damage and losing time where you could be killing stuff.

Same goes for Ancients and their grappling hooks and whoever else has similar attacks. They have a pretty good chance to hook you and drag you down.

 

Scindo Prime (played with Tempo Royale - agian, haven't tested the other stances for this) is pretty much immune against anything interrupting it mid-swing. Corrupted Bombard tries to knock you down? Hah! You keep right on carving its face off.

 

 

PS: The Nikondi are also quite fun, though I don't think they'll do too well on longer endless missions.

That said, 100% proc chance with corrosive/blast? Hilarious and hilariously effective against anything you'll encounter on non-endless missions.

Different weapons have different uses. The Dragon is my go-to weapon because it's well rounded. It doesn't do the most damage. It doesn't have the most range. It isn't the fastest. It does have a good amount of all of those though with decent stances.

[Husla]

Orthos Prime is down right amazing.

[Celetille]

There aren't any OP melee weapons unless you can easily solo some hard &#! content.

Just because it does damage does not mean it's OP.

[shadowstormr]

The best well-rounded i've come across is the Tonbo. Currently with 100% stat chance, ninkondi has put my tonbo to rest, on which i have 100k kills. Tonbo will serve you regardless of what frame you take, most other weapons would require you to have proper melee build on your frame or use expensive mods/stances. Its default strikes are great for reaching into the middle of the crowd and hitting that ancient/nullifier, its proc chance means its got more utility that takes it further into endless missions. With R8 primed reach you can hit targets 6 meters away, the knockdown on jump attack is awesome as well. People have tried to beat me with scindo p, tried is the word. PvE -wise tonbo still offers great functionality, range, damage, proc chance, knockdown. Your damage only counts if you can hit, tonbo's range is fantastic that way.

Ninkondi  with it's 100% proc potential and awesome stance which is easy to come by, outweighs every other melee weapon. 

Also please stop using 'OP' everywhere, it means overpowered, none of the melee are overpowered in this game. They could actually use a little buff to stay relevant in endless missions. 

[Karamethien]

I find Ninkondi too slow and range too short.

 

Ortho P is the best all around, fast, decent stats, hits mobs half way across the map (exaggeration), and decent coptering back in the day.

 

For Damage Scindo Prime is the king of the hill.  But unless you can proc those attack speed boosts it is just too darn slow.

[CGs_Knackie]

Don't say that otherwise it will be nerfed. :/

[reverb6]

I recommend Glaive Prime and Sheev! :D

A weapon being good doesn't mean it is OP, STOP trying to change the game, it is FINE the way it is.

Who's trying to change the game here? i think OP just ask which weapon is OP xD
