Best Melee Weapon To Use At Low Ranks?

[leserdemun]

Hello, I currently own an Ash lvl 26 Warframe, and am a mastery 2 rank. Though I like my standard maxed out SKANA I would like to improve to another melee weapon. And since I'm low rank I would like to have some recommendations from you guys.

What I do know a weapon I'm interested in is the Orthos Prime. Though it isn't easy to get at my rank. As I do not have keys to the voids needed in order to get the blueprints and the recruitment chat isn't much help either since no one hosts the map i'm looking for.

 

Recommendations are much appreciated! Thanks for your time and opinions!

Once MR 4 Nikana is a solid melee to be using a lot but before that I would say Scindo or dual kama are the best overall options.

However the Dual Kama might be a bit more of a grind to get then many will consider worth when first starting given 5 neural sensors.

But best melee you can get really early on assuming you can get the parts would be Orthos Prime IMO. It is good enough to use even in a lot of end game stuff (T4 survivals to 40 minutes or a bit beyond).

Dual Zoren is a great starter weapon, very easy to make, has a cool looking skin you can acquire from alerts, and with it being super good for crits + berserker, it can be good at any stage of the game. Dual Zoren is great for starting players.

I think that the orthos is a decent weapon.

For new and old guys n gals

Dual Zoren is one of the best melees overall.

Dual Kama is nice its MR 1 but is a bit pricey to make,. Jaw Sword is MR0 with syndicate mod its one of the top performers, but its BP is alert only. Orthos is not to hard to get and is MR2

Early in the game? Personally I'd suggest the Amphis. Incredibly useful cheap CC and makes for quite the crowd blender.

Orthos the one weapon to rule them all...

Seriously though, it's a blender that slices and dices groups of enemies of all factions with a n awesome attack radius and a slide attack that cant miss.

Get Furax with Seismic Palm as early as possible. Innate knockdowns on combos, aoe knockdown on jump attack, massive damage on ground finishers, fast combo that opens enemies to counterattacks, it's great.

If you like dual swords go for Dual Eher, if modded well they are beast
