Pro Tip, play Kullervo to increase Melee fun by 400% (or 800% (for heavy attacks))

Build the Prisma Ohma for Corrosive + heat. The Soverign Outcast melee combos will allow you to clear rooms still but when you see a large grouping of enemies or you group them up. Then you can do a ground slam or do the block combo that has a slam in the end to proc electricity regardless of mods. If Melee Influence procs then the insane stacks of corrosive + heat will delete everything around you. This goes for all melees that can proc electricity regardless of mods. obex, falcor, arca titron, xoris, etc.

I personally love the prisma skana incarnon. The prisma skana was my favorite, but mostly unused, melee since its release, so I've been so happy to see the utter glow up it has received over the past year or so. Each update since duviri has buffed it, and now I'm running it with base Mentor's Legacy (don't have the others yet), blood rush, focus radon, carnis mandible, and a +toxin +initial combo +crit damage riven, and melee exposure to great effect. Seeing it do over 2 million against armored steel path enemies with its toxin/corrosive/radiation/slash spread makes me so happy. Honorable mention to the stropha as well, melee exposure making it even better at popping Narmer zits.

Thanks for simply explaining Tennokai. I’m a long time player but don’t keep up with new mechanics so these vids are appreciated. I love the other creators you mentioned and I found your channel from them. Thanks again and you’ve got a new supporter from me

I started playing recently and just got the xoris thing. I didn’t think much of it at first glance because I’ve had the katana glued to me 24/7 but the first time I threw it and made it explode on a group I fell in love with the thing. It’s so satisfying to instantly vaporize anything in a single throw 😂

I'd love to see your take on the Tennokai system

Iron phoenix is a sword stance that has a combo where the first attack is a forced slash proc, skana has one of the highest dispositions, plus incarnon and the sword passive bonus, it is unironically the best stat stick for Excalibur, and when you put 600%+ dmg on the sword it can actually do some hefty damage with the forced slash, lethal poking stick

Oh one other thing: I am loving the Ekhein hammer from the last update. Works amazingly well with Tennokai and attack speed buffs, especially with its unique trait. It's probably not amazing on frames or squads without huge speed buffs, but playing Gauss with a giant fucking hammer is super fun.

Bo Prime Incarnon with the Melee Animosity and Tennokai (ideally, Dreamer's Wrath) can hit enemies for hundreds of millions of damage via heavy attacks, and the incarnon form adds +4m range, giving it that JUICY 7m swing. You also would want to use the Clashing Forest stance since it has more hit-counts and dps (which will require an stance forma). If you fully deck out your Voruna (or Kullervo; your choice) with red archon shards for melee critical damage, Arcane Avenger and Arcane Fury, your heavy attacks can hit up to -2.17b damage (and this was before Tennokai and melee arcanes were added). It's just a giant wacking-stick of death and it's glorious.

Xoris with the melee influence arcane is “fuck that entire room” and I’m fully here for it.

Dual Ichor Incarnon not being on here is wild. On Saryn specifically it is the best melee weapon in the game by far. Having to use Saryn is a drawback if you don’t like/have her but it’s so absurdly strong that it should have at least gotten a mention.

Nice video!!! Needed to watch in 15x speed to comment this

Time to put forms in my Guandao Prime after leaving at Yareli's update. This week I'll farm the incarnon version of Dual Ichor

Great video! Very descriptive and informational.

Innodem also can be paired with amalgam arganak metal augur, with enable dagger to armor strip, damaga from dagger reduces armor (this includes DoT). so if you use the aerial attacks (that has infinite punch through and 20m range) and melee influence, you can become a litteral nuke helicopter till level cap.

Just started doing quests again and im honestly itching to reuse the xoris, but im just struggling to pick out some primary's and secondary's, Great video nonetheless. 👌

Cerata is AMAZING against anything with shields "ie: corpus and a lot of zariman" Glaive prime will slap with higher numbers, though requires a slightly different mod loadout. Ohma is great. No explanation. Ignoring the zaws, kuva, and tenet weapons because those can always be good with the right combinations . . . . A sleeper weapon that people don't really use is the Jat Kusar. It is a HEAT bladed whip with amazing combo and radial attacks that hit huge groups while also having a nice niche explosive heavy attack. LOVE the jat kusar and its hella fashion frame. Guandao has always been a go to, can't complain it can carry ALL content. Good Luck getting venka prime, rip the plats Nikana prime can be subsituted with the Crit Nikana Zaw "exodia are pretty nice" or the Skiajati with incrementally lower dps in that order. Praedos is a better and free option if you only consider nikana prime. Optimal Crit Scythe Zaw is a better option than Hate and easier to get. Ankyu and Ceramic are good one is dojo and every other option is locked away ? Other options include the Caustacyst which is a status god with 5 elements sitting on my 0 forma build, if you want crits do arcane avenger for even crazier CO damage "tenent gregory has higher crit, thats about it."

When I go Meta I use Arca Titron. Got myself a good riven and one slam half a room in Netracells. I'm a huge fan of sparring weapons. So at the moment I use Prisma Obex, Hirudo and sometimes Secura Lecta on Kullervo. For Arcanes I use Influence or Vortex. Since they dont REALLY do a lot of damage on there own I use as a fun choice Shook Trooper on Kullervo. The 300% extra electric Damage with 300% Melee crit from Kullervo is really nice if you dont run level cap.

Jat Kittag has left the room…. lol. Thanks for the video! A tennokai video would be swell. Although you gave me some ideas on worthwhile weapons to invest in. Cheers!

Ayyyyy my man burst got a shout out Lovely list btw, as usual

Finally this video dropped

I like the Pennant, get free and easy heavy attack kills to stack your attack speed, and it does high heavy attack damage.

video thumbnail reads "Top 10 Melfes"

Was waiting for a touch up on top melee weapons👌🏻

Two weapons I suggest are ohma and lesion for ohma is a kronen 1.0 and easy to get earlier game and with lesion it having a passive toxic without mods is good and can turn that passive toxin to viral with cold also a slash focused weapon even in sp has served me well

If I'm not maining melee I usually just run furax incarnon, it always has 12x so it's always great for acolytes, it gives my secondary fire rate, it has perfect follow through, very nice stance, high base damage, it has no slashes but who cares it's a melee influence meta. Especially if I have roar, armor strip or grouping it's a weapon that I can whip out whenever on my non melee setups and it will easily kill everything in a split second without needing to build combo, it's very nice.

21:06 - Note: Careful when running with Combat Discipline. That thing SHREDS, and you may not be able to keep up.

BTD music in the bc is hilarious

Idk if it's different for everyone but this week at least I had the choice of torid and dual ichor incarnon. I haven't gotten those yet and would've loved to have the dual toxocyst as well but sadly can only choose two.

What’s the syandyna u r using for this warframe pretty kool looking

The dash on Nikana also does damage to things you dash near. it’s beyond satisfying to ninja execute mfs like you’re an anime character

*Me using wolf sledge hammer as a glaive*

I will always love reaper prime. It's so good.

Discipline's Merit on Syam or Corufell are pretty fun.

Bro forgot dual ichor it’s better than the hate and nami solo

11:19 what the dog doin

dual ichor its ULALAA , best spread dots melee its not the best dps but for status its best choice , and with Saryn .. game bracker :))

Glaive + endless x12 (2 mods +culervo rifle)= top

The bloons td music is too good

Hey WarframeFlo I love All of your Videos and wanted to ask if we might play one or to missions together?

Great video! Thanks a bunch! Can you please answer a question for me? No content creator will answer my question. It must be a taboo question???? My question is: The mods on a warframe; any warframe, do the mods order make a difference? I hear that the placing of the mods on weapons make a big difference on performance but not on the Warframe. What are your thoughts on this.

you’re amazing

Slaytra; Bleed does not spread with Influence, only elemental statuses do.

The bloons td music had me so confused 😂

What's your Citrine build? She seems really good to play while running around slicing everyone, but all the videos I find are built around gunplay with her. Mind sharing your build?

Yea okay ig these are good melees… Corufell is still the coolest melee in the game. And it’s not my opinion, it is a fact

Melee in warframe stopped being a carpal tunnel simulator and now its a w+e simulator

If Nikanas in generall wouldnt root you in place unlike swords and guan dao, i would never use any other melee. But that stationary attacks kill the flow for me

Word to the wise, you can have a free slot or two with tennokai. Heavy attack speed mods aren't needed so the amalgam mod and killing blow are replaceable. Making any melee really good...again.

Can I ask why you run sacrificial steel instead of blood rush on many of the Tennokai builds since you'll be building combo?

lov u!

Bloons music?

What is a good weapon for SP to get the ceramic dagger gun and blade Evo stacks? I've been thinking of the ignis wraith, Phantasma, or Ocucor

Weirdly old-fashioned "slash love" tier list, when the latest content opened up the option to not just be a slash whore in melee, so wide. Armor strip is everywhere, forget slash and dust off the actual fun melees, live a little!

I was wondering if you can answer a quesiton, on the Nikana Prime you show a build and it has a Exilus Weapon slot that you put Opportunity's Reach in, I have not gotten the Nikana Prime but it doesn't have the slot for Opportunity's Reach, I have the Stance Slot but not the Exilus Slot, is there a way to add that slot? I have found a lot of information about unlocking the slot but mine isn't even showing a slot to unlock.

Melee influence doesn't spread physical statuses. Only elemental and only melee.

I recently got a riven for the guandao, any idea what stats I should be looking for if I plan on following the build shown in the video? What mod should I replace aswell

Anku with maiming strike would be insane

I am working on the Dragon Nikana on kullevero. My robo hound it my primer so I’m destroying things early sp

I would like to second the Xoris being amazing. Don't be a noob like me and sell it early on because you have no plat for slots 😢 Couple other notes: Reach over Primed Reach when you don't have it makes sense still since range is a HUGE DPS increase on melees. Can't stress that enough. Second, the Dragon Nikana is *almost* as good as the Nikana Prime, but Skiajiati also has the advantage of Umbral slots built-in. Yes, the Dragon Nikana has 6% less crit/status chance and 0.4x less crit damage at base, but it still has 85% slash weight which is damn good for starchart, and could even be built into lategame if you don't want to farm the Nikana Prime. Also, obviously has way better Riven disposition, being used less than any other Nikana. Anyway, it's basically the same for 90% of content. Cheers!

I got a Dakra Prime everything I use ain’t on lists 😂 I’m a numbers guy the damage is good just have to brush up more on builds

Gosh this is so complicated.

I only need two xoris and cerata (if i had glave prime i whould not need anything else)

wouldnt melee retaliation be better as an alternative for the innodem? If you pair it with like hydrin for example the dmg is going to be through the damn roof. Stynax and harrow are good choices to

Anyone else notice the rank 5 melee duplicate arcane he had? That's crazy to me!

Does the glaive normal even compare to the glaive prime? The glaive prime goes for 180-200 platinum on the market, so yeah uh..

Flip trying not to suggest the cerarta

Melee duplicate goes so hard on hate incarnon

I really enjoy the syam, I've managed to hit damage cap with kullvero and the heavy attack (although kullvero is kinda cheating)

It's actually *in Carl's voice* the croissant

Yo Flo, what happened to the beginner's guide? I legit started playing when you released the corrupted mods early game plat farm that was 4 months ago

What is the syandana you were using to test out the ceramic dagger?

Make a video on Tennokai

I ran steel path grotesque splinter farm to buy rank 5 arcane energize and rank 5 arcane fury and rank 5 arcane guardian and hence have max ranked each melee arcane except melee duplicate and one other which drops only in netracells. Also believe him when he says cerata is an endgame weapon and his build and play style is also endgame coz it literally shreds. corpus who?

Bro forgot the dual ichor 🪦

man u forgot the VERDILAC!

Tennokai video plz

Just saying guys with the cream dagger it will one shot everything in sp including accololites I would heavily recommend getting a heavy attack build

What was on your back during the Innodem bit in the Simulacrum?

Been playing for god knows how long now, and still no hate, just dread n despair........ Oh n I also dont have the scythe yet

no one talkin about orthos prime, is it shtt now?

How do i get volatile quick return??

looking for best melee weapon for baby volt pls !

Hi. Can you tell what setting you turn of that you don`t have lightning boom with heavy and some of normal attacks. Example - glave and nikana. Thanks for future answer...

Would someone please explain how/why the guanduo prime is best when compared to orthos prime ? Thank you

No dual keres prime is crazy

Duel Ichor go melty melty

Where is the dual ichor?

Maybe mention where to get tennokai mods

I’m new to the game, should I grind for the first glave? Or what is the best beginner melee

my question is do u need a melee warframe for them?

tennokai anything good with heavy attack are good with tennokai its a simple answer

Idk if its just me vut i have personal hate towards the ohma or just any tonfa

Top melee? Only good 1 is Praedos, because it gives you movement speed. Therefore it makes it easier for you to shoot guns

How much GB is the game on PC rn ? Cause i can't download it somehow...

Wait stupid question, what warframe are you using in the video?

the uwu timestamps 🤣😂

Hespar ❤️

You out here flexing ur primed faction mods when we can just subsume roar and deal 2 to 3 times more dmg 😂😂😂
