Help me build Kronen

[Einherjar]

So.. Usually I am not a fan of maiming strike, and have so far avoided it.. Now though, I have gotten it in upgraded form, for my favorite melee weapon, Kronen..

I got a riven that shows:
90.7 critical chance on slides
+134.5% range
+98.4% critical damage

That is pretty much a perfect riven for Kronen imo, but I am not sure of the best build for it..

Atm I use P pressure point, P fury, P reach, Riven, Condition Overload, 2 x dual stat mods, Buzz Kill

I was thinking of going P pressure point, P fury, P reach, P fever strike, Buzz Kill, Riven, Shocking Touch, Organ Shatter

Edit: Alternatively, I could replace Organ Shatter and Shocking touch with Condition Overload and Voltaic Strike? Kronen still has 32% Status Chance, with only 1 dual mod

What do you think?

Don't use other elementals beyond your 2 dual status elemental combo. If you are going to pull it out to fight with it, I wouldn't invest in the crit mods past your riven; instead, I would invest in building up and maintaining your combo counter with mods like drifting contact and relentless combination. I would also make room for life strike or healing return unless your frame heals.

I rarely use reach nor fury, so I wouldn't know how effective these mods would be, but if you are only sliding and using them to take advantage of crit, then I suggest you drop fury, to add organ shatter and or point strike.

I could be wrong.

If you are going for a crit build then you should swap buzz kill for blood rush. Use naramon focus or squeeze body count/gladiator rush in there.

If you are going for a status build then you'll want drifting contact as well as condition overload/voltaic strike.

reason why I think this is not perfect riven for Kronen is because Kronen has low range, critical on slide works best on weapons with more range (that's why Scoliac rivens are trough the sky).
Riven has range but buffing low base range does not give amazing results

Far from it that it won't work, just there are other ways to utilize Kronen, it is a fast weapon which relies on combo multiplier so doing either that or pumping up status a little bit and giving it condition overload can do very well. Kronen has one of the strongest jump attacks, a buterfly-like multi-hit

But you can build this great, people already suggested good things how to build it

my Kronen Riven has +233% damage and +11s combo multiplier, I wouldn't roll it for anything in the world but then again, it is all about the approach and how you like to play it

Yeah, I already found out about the range :D The current working sketch looks like:

Primed Pressure Point, Berserker, Blood Rush, Body Count, Riven, Primed Fever Strike, Voltaic Strike, Condition Overload

If you have drifting contact, replace body count with it since Kronen base status chance is good, using it with drifting contact should be better.

with crit on slide thing there is no need for condition overload, you are going for one-hit kills so raw damage should be your priority
also Fury should work better than berserker s it is the same boost, difference is that your first attack won't be slower
You can also test primed reach instead of voltaic straike
