"Unique" melees (dormi.zone)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by sandriver@dormi.zone to c/warframe@dormi.zone

Let's discuss!

I'm thinking melee weapons that have some kind of overt gimmick, or otherwise unusual properties. Examples:

  • Keratinos grows and gains +2~3m range when you do a 12x heavy
  • Ghoulsaw has 100% followthrough
  • Caustacyst globs force enemies open to finishers
  • Gazal machete gains Corrosive damage after Djinn casts Fatal Attraction
  • Sarofang has a vortex on heavy slam

That said, I don't want to consider signature passives, as they're already documented. Incarnons are also well-documented, so I don't think they're as interesting to document or discuss.

Whether they're "good" or not is irrelevant.

Edit: while it throws all equip slots into the same page, the wiki page "Passives" (https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Passives/Weapon) lists all weapons with a passive effect.

Still, worth documenting other standout weapons, like the mentioned Ghoulsaw.

The duviri melees all have weird gimmicks like heavy slam beams on the hammer or a combo burst on the heavy nikana.

Archon weapons have similar gimmicks, like the tox projectile on the whip and fireball on the daggers.

Xoris can 1hKO granum specters on detonation.

Rakta Dark Dagger recovers shields and builds overshields on hit against irradiated enemies
