Question About Khora And Whipclaw

[Sparky862]

If I mod my weapon for example, Broken War Slash Procs Mainly. Does that mean that my Whipclaw also does mainly slash and I can Slash proc the enemies?

So I pop my Strangledome with Pilfering Mod. All enemies within the dome are being Whipclawed and they are all Slash Proced?

Yes, your Whipclaw is based on your Melee.

Not quite, Whipclaw is actually just affected by melee mods, and a couple specific weapon's innate abilities. The damage makeup, attack speed, and any other attributes of your weapon is irrelevant. The base damage of whipclaw is evenly split between impact, puncture, and slash, and it has a 20% status chance, so you probably aren't going to get a lot of slash procs out of it. You can get a more detailed breakdown of what does and doesn't affect the ability on her wiki page.

+1 this is the correct answer

Prob is, I can not get red crits on her whipclaw, even with the faction mod

Usually red crits is from a combination of blood rush + a god riven of a high disposition weapon. What you need to understand is whipclaw follows your mods so a riven with 200% crit means your whip gains 200% crit too. The weapons base stats don't matter, only the mods you add to it
