Nikana p potential question

[SatelliteStrike]

We all know the nikana p is one of the best melee weapons in the game (maybe 3rd after War and Broken-war arguably just on paper). So now my question is which frame (besides Saryn/prime) is a good match for it to make it even more deadly?

[H3dsh0t]

Valkyr with Eternal War is always a fantastic option to make any melee more deadly, she's definitely my go to frame for any melee weapon, thats for sure!

exca has a bonus attack dmg&attack speed with nikana

[ThorienKELL]

Chroma, always best option for melee. Proper melee, not power based one.

Loki with the stealth/invisibility bonus

Chroma is a beast, but I also like to melee with Trin sometimes. Also, I've heard there are some melee Speed Volt enthusiasts out there.

Ash Prime if you are ranking your fashionframe

And tbh, while nikana p works for almost any frame, excals's passive does give it a major advantage.

Said noone lol. But seriously loki, chroma, valk, excal have all been stated and will do very well with melee. Even Saryn can do magical things with melee if played right (spores + lash + naramon can be far more deadly then the above frames when played right).

Have u not seen what occur with cataclysm and rift surge....Look bro maybe u don't pick up on it but rift gives energy back at you meaning you can run channeling builds as well as run high power

in addition to just this you also have the fact of the augmentation increase the damage multiplier by 20% for every enemy that is send to the rift your looking at high number on simple combo.

The fact cataclysm forces close combat is perfect with melee and it maxes sure that you can murder anything that enter your field.

Rhino Prime with Iron skin and steel charge aura mod perfect for slashing any foe onsite.

Ice built chroma. hands down.

to add on to that, Limbo is pretty squishy though, and casting cataclysm from a distance may be preferred, BUT EVEN THEN you can forget cataclysm, knock down enemies by rifting them with his 1 and do a ground finisher while they're trying to get up in the rift.

OT: Aside from the usual Valkyr, Excalibur, Wukong(?), Chroma, Ash, and Loki, thanks to Body Count I like to use Frost with duration on Avalanche to hold them still, though the downside is you'll need to cast Freeze on your target so you can thaw them out sooner  after inflicting enough damage (which isn't much of a problem once the combo goes up enough) to make them susceptible to status. As for other warframes i could see warframes with crowd control abilities that can stun enemies long enough being easily able to land a few hits in, such as rhino using iron shrapnel to knock down enemies for free finishers or using stomp, and buffing with roar, and with Naramon (?) any frame could probably go in for a while in a survival mission.
