Ninkondi - Electricity? Seriously????

[9InchNail]

I was astonished some minutes ago! Finally a Nunchuck style weapon - wanting something like this for a long time in WF. But what the heck? Electriciy damage??? Nunchucks, an iconic martial arts weapon for centuries, are based on impact damage! You may say - WF is in the far future, but why electricity again? Another boring elemental style weapon like Lecta or Prova. Nunchucks should be based on impact for the real feel. If you favour elemental damage why not blast??? This would be more in line with that kind of weapon. My five cents...

Why not? Ninkondi has 35% status and amazing speed with multstrike hits. Pure electric damage will turn this weapon into monster madness of status weapon, as you will be able to force it to proc only certain element. Imagine creating Electrcity(minor)+Gas(Main). Or Corrsive(main)+Magnetic(minor). It should be insane!

On the other hand, we could've gotten pure impact nunchaku, with some damage in slash, some in puncture (most likely most would be in puncture, as it has many sharp nobs). It would be kinda meh as a status weapon (which it is) as all things would proc randomly, without you being able to control it. Plus impact damage, to put it lightly, sucks as pure damage against enemies.

What you describe is Lecta all over again. I use a Lecta status build. Amazing range, decent damage, procs like hell. I don't say the Ninkondi will suck in damage, but the idea of Nunchucks dealing only elemental is sooo messed up...

This is first nunchaku and not the last
DE will release a bit more for sure
They will not just waste all of these awesome animations on one weapon, right?

[Vulbjorn]

I mean, you don't like it. That's absolutely fine. I'm personally loving it.

Hmm, but there are Nikana, Dragon Nikana and upcoming Nikana Prime

And i'm sure these are not all of them

That are technically three iterations of one weapon.

I hope they will! Maybe an impact version focused on crit and not on status would be nice :-)

I think I will actually use Ninkondi with either only Berserker or try out crit build. It strikes super fast.

Biggest problem with high attack rate melee+Berserker is the pain you inflict upon your fingers..

I don't see what the problem with electricity is, if you want the realistic feel of nunchucks, why don't you go buy some for yourself, learn a form or two and go practice those? I'm personally happy with the fact that the combos they have are based off the real martial arts.

If you're lucky enough to have all 4 event status mods, you can stack them to get over 100% status chance. Corrosive as main, and blast as minor to give you alittle extra CC in late game, can hold it's own pretty well level 60+ in voids.

It is good that it's innate elec too as it doesn't have to proc anything else like impact besides that, meaning it makes this weapon a procin' monster. And what's even more refreshing is that the new stance isn't an total ♥♥♥♥♥ to farm either. Couple of games of def on Ceres and it dropped from Guardsman, job's a carrooot.

I love how fluid these things are, im going to build for attack speed and status with Viral damage.

[DjPufnStuf]

Using it myself and potatoed it, obviously with a steelcharge character like valk chroma or rhino yea it can do some damage, but mostly it's a status machine 3 dual status elemental mods make it 98% status chance which honestly is good enough to status machine things. Radiation Viral is amazing even without the damage confusion, and minus health rocks.

[Squidvasion]

It makes you look like a badass too, no one is mentioning the most important part about this weapon.
