New Player What weapons to get for Ash Prime?

[Hydraa]

Hi all Title says it alll!

 

I'm a new player looking to main Ash Prime! Just like the way he looks!

 

I have some Plat and was wondering what weapons I should be getting for him? I basically have none atm.

I'm looking to build around his new ult so any help would be appreciated!

if you're a new player, do not spend plat on weapons. slots yes, weapons no.

For his 4th ability mods on your melee matter more that the melee itself. However, a quick crit weapon would be useful to get a melee multiplier and proc Berserker before starting BS for faster animation. Maybe (Prisma) Dual Cleavers, Dual Ichor, Atterax or Tipedo. If you want to play ninja, go for a bow primary (Dread, Paris (Prime)) and a thrown melee (Despair, Spira (Prime)). Don't waste plat on weapons from market, better buy something Prime from players.

Ash's Bladestorm doesn't really need a weapon but is affected by some melee mods. As such, I would usually use a dagger with the Covert Lethality mod since it could one-hit-kill high-level enemies (including some "bosses") when used with Fatal Teleport Augment mod.  Great for sorties and other high-level missions.  Adding Fury/Primed Fury on the dagger should speed-up the animation for both Bladestorm and Fatal Teleport.

I am currently using the Rakta Dark Dagger, but any dagger will do. I find Fatal Teleport faster in killing heavy units and just use Bladestorm on the others.

As @pauli133 and @Suncake said, do not spend plat on weapons that can be obtained by farming resources or syndicate points.  Use plat on weapon or warframe slots instead.

Come to think of it, Warframe doesn't have any primed dagger (please correct me if I am wrong).  Anyway, here's my Rakta Dark Dagger build:

While I rarely use it for actual melee, its main intention is really for Fatal Teleport (one-hit-kill enemies).  For primary and secondary, it depends on the mission.  Here are my favorites:

1. Tonkor for Sorties
2. Sonicor for Sortie Defense or Rescue missions (given to defense/rescue target) - used with Smoke Shadow Augment mod to keep the target hidden.
3. Synoid Simulor for star chart missions
4. etc.

Good luck, Tenno!
