An ancient blade predating the fall of the Orokin Empire. Forged using techniques lost over the centuries, the edge remains sharper than that of any modern Nikana.

Anti-Armor Build -- Max Bleed + Quickening (Melee 3.0)

For this build:

[Smite Grineer] = swap to current enemy. Faction mods increase bleed damage by roughly 69%, this part is necessary to any bleed build. I don't really understand the math perfectly here, but I observed in simulcrum that with this mod installed, bleed ticks were straight up increased by 69% damage. Maybe it's bugged, or maybe they stealth-buffed it, who knows. On heavy strikes with no combo:

WITHOUT [\[Smite Grineer\]](/items/arsenal/380/smite-grineer/), active AI, Level 165 Bombard:
   4067   damage tick on yellow slash
   7217   damage tick on orange slash

WITH Smite Grineer, active AI, Level 165 Bombard:
   6874   damage tick on yellow slash
  12197   damage tick on orange slash


Can't really explain it, but the damage ticks don't lie (probably).
