if you want the maximum output, a combination of crit and elemental would be the best way to go, that can go 2 ways though

1) quick melee crits

-consists of the usual elemental mods and/or crit mods with berserker

2)all melee crits

-using elemental mods with the blood rush+body count+berserker combo

 

using elemental mods with be more optimal than using all slash mods

My opinion on nikana prime :

Use crit chance & crit damage and focus on using slash proc thanks to the second combo of blind justice.

Here's the build I use. It may not be worlds best but I have no problem killing with it. ^{marvel at my 27 fps :D}

Go with Slash + Viral proc. You can replace True Steel with Primed Reach, if you are willing to sacrifice some DPS for range or Berserker if the weapon feels too fast. That's a kind of standard approach and will melt armored targets. Doesn't work against sentients, since apparently they can't be affected by slash proc at all (or become immune to them despite the fact that they technically don't deal slash damage).

void: lots of armor ignoring damage

4CP void: both viral and slash get a bonus against flesh

infested: trash mobs are resistant to viral, but proc essentially doubles damage and slash component will work just fine against flesh. I think.

corpus: slash procs ignore shields, unless target is buffed by shield osprey

grineer: same is void

Don't focus on slash damage, since it's bad against armour and only good against exposed flesh and since slash procs are not affected by bonus slash damage from Buzz Kill and other mods, that scale off base damage.
