[Q] Melee only weapon of choice.

[dontyoudare]

Hello readers. Haven't played Mercenary Kings in ages until recently, when I purchased it on the Switch and I've been playing non-stop.

Just wondering what the go to blade is for knife only?

My personal favourite by far is still the 'Freeman Dagger' but I also use 'Last Dreamer' for fun and 'Blight Saber' for guns without caustic ammunition.

Also feel free to share your favourites. :D

What, don't do that. Just adapt a new weapon. Tiny computer is the only we can't grenade/melee kill.

I also enjoy fast knifes, Freeman is what I use. Been searching for a higher damage fast knife, with no avail.

I'm not into melee weapons, but there are still a couple things I've found out that could be useful.

-Even amongst weapons of same weight, some attack faster than others. While there seems to be some correlation between weight and speed, there might be another factor at play.

-Once you get to a certain level of Atk Speed, you can slash at enemies so fast that you'll start to gain height. You can maintain that height indefinitely. Try it on the training dummy.

-Combining this with a frost knife will sometimes freeze enemies forever because it constantly reapplies the freeze effect. You can kill some bosses in a single cycle that way, without anything boosting your melee ability. Steel Soldier is a good example, as once he opens his cockpit, you can just wail on him. There's a good chance he'll freeze and won't thaw until you've knifed him to death.

Both a fast attack speed and freezing effect are found on the Resistance Knife (IIRC), I haven't looked to find other cases yet.
