Melee weapons 3.0

[Hollow Zealot]

What melee weapons do you guys enjoy the most after Melee 3.0?
What melee weapons work great in endgame (around lvl 120 enemies) after Melee 3.0?

Venka Prime is still my favorite (and with Weeping Wounds to reach 100% status the bleed kill anything that survive a direct hit). Many people do love heavy blades apparently but they're still too slow for my taste.

Mios has always felt pretty good, I can't tell if the changes buffed it much or not, but now heavy attacks throw the chain on command so it's really versatile in terms of range

Other contenders I've liked lately were the Nami Skyla Prime, Caustacyst, Machete Wraith, and Rakta Dark Dagger

one final note: the Gunsen is no longer a gimmicky piece of trash, the stance is finally useable and the fanning animation never interrupts your attacks or movement if it shows up

Kogake Prime, Hirudo, Ninkondi Prime and many others

Scythe weapons feel awesome for once, Mios is insanely strong, Nikanas are super strong, Ninkondi with Riven is broken as balls, any polearm weapon is fun with Twirling Spire, staff weapons ded, claws are insane, Venka, Garuda's ones, super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sick.... a lot of them are fun, think most can be made decent.

Haven't tried all of them, people praise Machete a lot, dual swords too

Removal of damage scaling with combo counter added some cool builds, you can just slap regular mods, CO, and rock a build that scales with status instead of with Blood Rush and combo counter.
Made some weapons fun in a different way, depends on a riven too.

Sounds really good so far ! I will definitely try some out!

i love nikanas now, my dragon nikana is very nice with my Slash + CC + Damage riven
Gram prime is probably the best 2h now

hate is op as ♥♥♥ atm with the right riven as well ..

Gram Prime is a 2h beast. Can reach either 100 / 100 Status / Crit or at the very least have both 90+. Slap a Condition Overload / Viral / Berserker on it and I have yet to see any enemy that doesn't get cleaved in half in less than 3 hits. You can carry an entire Index match with it easily into the third or fourth round.

And for some whack reason it has one of the strongest Riven dispositions in the game, so if you ever got your hand on a riven for it, expect even more insane numbers, maybe even 200+ crit chance or 10x crit damage. It's absurdly unbalanced.
