Any weapon that doesn't get gimped by or doesn't gimp hysteria is a viable choice (and that really means, it has somewhat viable critical chance).

 

This basically means any weapon with 15%+ critical chance.

Actually, Hysteria won't take into consideration the weapon critical chance at all; what will be counted is the chance and damage gained through mods though.

This means that if you equip a 50% crit chance melee weapon with True Steel and a 0% crit chance melee weapon with True steel, Hysteria critical chance will be exactly the same.

 

Only mods are considered, meaning you can use absolutely any weapon if modded properly; of course, it's best to use a weapon that can be used even outside of Hysteria, if necessary so a MK1 Bo wouldn't be the best choice probably, but it still will be able to boost Hysteria same as a War or Dragon Nikana or Scindo Prime.

Hysteria inherits mods from melee weapon, that's a fact we all know.

Hysteria has pretty wonky critical hit system but it's pretty crit-focused melee.

It has meh status (10%)

 

This made me suggest a weapon that doesn't rely much on status to be effective (as status build would be reduce Hysteria effectivenes) while building weapons specifically for Hysteria would reduce melee performance.

 

Putting +critCh mods on weapon with low critical hit chance or +critDMG on weapons with low critical multiplier is a waste of slot on given weapon, but would heavily benefit Hysteria.

Putting mods that exclusively benefit a weapon that has no crits or status would pretty much gimp Hysteria performance.

It depends on personal preference, honestly, so long as you've modded the weapon for its strengths.

 

Ideally, those strengths will be the same as the strengths of Hysteria, which means you'll want a weapon that does decent base damage, has a fairly high crit chance, and at least a 2.0x critical multiplier.

 

I personally use Atterax almost universally, because it has a base crit chance of 25%, a base crit multiplier of 3.0x, a base status chance of 20%, and it's GREAT for quickly clearing crowds, as well as rooms with a bunch of containers.

 

Slap a Reach or Primed Reach on it, and it'll be even more useful -- and on top of that, Hysteria will be able to take-on Nullifiers if you're careful enough, due to Reach and Primed Reach effectively giving you some extra invisible length on the claws. (Also, if you use a ground-slam attack, that'll push back the bubble as well. Do that a few times and the bubble disappears. Then you shred the nullie.)
