[Tickles]

Please tell me which melee is the best to have rn

If there is a youtube vid please share the link

And if it's a zaw melee please mention the parts

[The Tank]

Amphis

[Franss the Coffee Addict]

heav blade with fast attack speed and cleaving whirlwind.
Walk forward and spam E

[PainNMisery]

definetly anything with cleaving whirlwind.
if your using any frame that boost attack speed its spin2win for days. just do a slide attack on the 4th spin to reset so you dont do that little tumble animation.

They murdered maiming strike and toned down crit scaling in general. True Steel, Blood Rush, and Maiming strike are all additive with each other now.
So Blood Rush is basically the one crit chance mod you want. (660% at 12x combo vs 150% maiming vs 110% sacrificial steel with set vs 88% sacrificial steel without set vs 60% true steel).

This also means that crit chance on rivens is basically useless, too.

The exception is if you're doing a heavy attack spam build, like with Fragor Prime and Corrupt Charge. Blood rush is still the best there, but a crit riven wouldn't be nearly worthless.

Bottom line: atterax was dependant on the insane crit multipliers to be decent and without those, it's a crappy weapon.

And then stare in utter disappointment as your frame does a drunken stumble forward after every 4th swing or so with that particular combo.

What I've used since before even Melee 3.0 Phase 1 came out, build may not be the absolute best possible to it seems to still slaughter just as well now. Been getting back into the Paracesis a bit more after Phase 2, but this scythe-that's-actually-a-staff still comes highly recommended by me.

(Credit for parts and build goes to the author of an old Reddit thread that I can't seem to find anymore.)

Option one: Lesion with Primed Pressure, Primed Reach, Primed Fury, 3x 60/60 mods for viral+heat, Condition Overload and a mod of your choice (I use healing return). Twirling Spire stance.

Option two: Gram Prime with PPP, PR, PF, 2x 60/60 mods for viral, Berserker, CO and a mod of your choice (healing return there aswell). Cleaving Whirlwind stance.

Lesion is for everything everywhere. Gram Prime for everything, everywhere, except maybe arbitration disruption. Lesion is just more reliable for taking out demolysts thanks to the 100% status chance. Combine it with Garuda's #4 for a good CC on demolysts and massive extra stacks of slash during that time window.

This is very helpful. I'll try Lesion since I have a riven for it. Thank you so much
