Primary/Secondary weapon stat sticks to boost Melee weapons

[Rev-Up]

I'm mainly using my melee weapon and only switch to my primary/secondary whenever I need to hit something from far away or high up.

I just found out about the primary weapon "Argonak", which has a mod "Amalgam Argonak Metal Auger". The mod reads:

+3 Punch Through
Damage from daggers reduces Armor by +6

So I was wondering if there are any other primary/secondary weapons or mods I'm unaware of that increase the effectiveness of my melee weapons, status effects OR my frame's abilities in a way without having to use my guns.

Thanks in advance!

You could use Kuva Nukor (or Regular Nukor), tenet Cyccron (or Regular Cycron), or Epitaph (or Epitaph Prime) ((Any of these Secondaries can do it doesnt have to be the other variants the only differences are the Stats)) to Prime Enemies to increase Status Damage/Chance not sure if your new or how many hours have progress in game but you should at least have one of these 3 secondary weapons for priming Enemies

Thanks but I think you misunderstood my question. I'm not looking for a primer weapon.

The "Amalgam Argonak Metal Auger" (primary weapon mod) passively makes our melee weapon (dagger) stronger, without having to shoot or even wield the primary weapon.

I'm 320 hours in now, but I came back after a 7 year break last week.

More of a utility than a buff but as you like melee it would probably still prove useful.
The miter has a faction mod (from arbiters of hexis I believe) that gives it a 90% chance to destroy nullifier bubbles. While this isn't buffing your melee it is preventing you from losing buffs/ effects from nullifiers that would affect your melee output and survivability.

Any primary and/or secondary with the dexterity arcane, any secondary for the carnis/juggulus/saxum mod set, shotguns for the motus set, ratua building combo count, any primary with ceramic dagger.

For base-medium Steel Path I like to use Amalgam Daikyu. It gives lifesteal when you're using Nikanas and makes a good combo with the Syam (a Nikana that throws a heat wave). You can also throw there Arcane Primary dexterity for the extra combo duration as well as Amalgam Serration for the extra sprint speed, all of this is passive.

I wouldn't recommend it for level cap though, you gonna need to rotate your weapons and apply many statuses to get decent damage numbers.

they are going to redo stat sticks. don't invest.

Thanks guys, this is exactly what I was looking for!

So basically with all this equipped I get +15 seconds combo timer, 20% sprint speed, status immunity after heavy attacks, an AoE impact explosion on lifted kills and AoE puncture damage on slam hits on any weapons of my choice. That's better than I expected!

I do wish there was a complete list/wiki of all these kind of items. Since two people mentioned different items I feel like there is even more! :)

Any idea when this is? I don't mind a little investment if it will be useful for a month or two.
