Arbiters of Hexis melee

[John89brensen]

Im wondering why is the Boltace the melee of Arbiters of Hexis, i mean the main sigil of the syndicate is a sword, or more than one sword depending on what sigil you are using. I undestand that Galatine is getting a prime version, but why not the Gram, or any other sword, the Boltace is a tonfa, and it doesnt really fit the "theme" of the syndicate, other than being the "melee boltor", or that all Arbiter weapons deal piercing damage (boltor, akbolto, boltace)

[Obviousclone]

because the boltor is the truth

 

only through mastery of the boltor shall we surpass our former masters

[TruthArbiter]

I was really disappointed with their selection as well. I was hoping the magistar or something like the dual skanas would be chosen.

[Beggining]

It's a well-known fact that the leader of Arbiter of Hexis has a Bolt fetish.

/sarcasm

Literally the only reason its Boltace is because its part of the Puncture weapon set that includes Boltor, AK/Bolto, and Boltace. All with great amounts of puncture damage. Also because I'm pretty sure it was a popular demand because of how well it fits.

Magistar would be appropriate being a knight's weapon, but a greatsword or an axe would be more fitting that judicial feel you get from them.

It is set of akbolot, bolotor, boltace. It is not a worst thing ever. At least it is a set.

Other syndicates (other than Suda) have much stronger "what 3 random weapons have in common?"

[Rekkou]

Feels like Telos Boltor itself was already a mistake because Boltor Prime already exist, but now they went too far with bolt theme and it would be much weirder if they didn't complete the set.

The reason I thought that the magistar would be a good choice is because of its flavor text: The Magistar Mace wields justice and truth in the form of bone crushing blows.

Call me an A******, but I was looking forward for the Telos Boltace, just because I knew everyone else would hate it

 

[Rakosta_Kai]

Eh, Not crazy about it and had really expected to see Dual Zorens, Dual Skana, or Dual Heat Swords ( I doubt any of these are weapons with high use either).

Not surprised by their choice... just not crazy about it.

As it stands right now, most of the syndicate melee options don't look that appetizing to me (Sydon looks pretty good though).

they said they chose their weapons because they wasn t enough use by the community

they said they wanted to use weapons least used by the communtiy, heliocor is brand new, once again we get the "be quite, you know we are going to give it to cephalon suda because everything good goes there" treatment

[Gorila_Azul]

I've had a lil' soft spot for matching sets since I started the game. So much so that I struggled to put together loadouts I didn't take issue with in my first days. I had to learn how to let that go over time. If the Arbiters had the Soma set, New Loka had the gunblade set and Red Veil had the Paris/Kunai/Anku set I would be satisfied.

[1tsyB1tsyN1nj4]

Probably because DE is already in a hole when it comes to Syndicates. Instead of just re-working them they've decided to make the hole even bigger for the sake of powercreep

[Synpai]

Here's wishing for special syndicate quests so they can each have a special Ninkana - possibly one per Tenno (I.e: Once you get Red Veil's you can't get another).

Anyway, I'm baffled that the Nami Skyla got passed up for New Loka......

I have to believe (for my own sanity) that so many people DONT use them that even DE forgot about 'em lol.

Heliocor is the only Cephalon melee weapon, it was basically the only option for a Cephalon-based Syndicate.

magistar is sancti??

[SpeedOfLightPuncher]

I am disappointed by 5/6 syndicate melees 

[Necrius]

While I agree that Boltace fits overall theme of "bolty" weapons Arbiters are going with, I really dislike the weapon. Would be happy if it was Anku or Galatine instead. Or Nikana - it's very Tenno-themed and looks noble, perfect for disciplined scholars Arbiters are.

Suda, Veil, and Perrin options make sense (though Heliocor makes no sense as a Cephlon design). The rest were really poor choices. Merridian should have been a Weapon/Shield, Loka a Sword, and Arbiters a blade.

That's wierd, because what popular opinion was "Anything but Boltace" and "It should be a Sword"
