Hello everyone,

My name is UltimoFive and today we are going over the [Galatine Prime], Sir Gawain's Roman Slicer.

Weapon Information

• [Galatine Prime] is the Prime Version of [Galatine] and was released alongside Tigris Prime and Nekros Prime. In order to obtain [Galatine] Prime one must open a variety of relics that contain the Blueprint, Handle, and Blade in order to make it at the foundry.

• Galatine Prime requires a mastery rank of 13.

• [Galatine Prime] comes with 2 "V" Polarity Slots, plus "D" Stance Slot. Because of this, the builds on this weapon will require a single Forma.

• [Galatine Prime] excels in Medium to Large Crowd Slaughter against all factions in High Leveled areas.

Comparison to the Original [Galatine]

The Galatine Prime has a couple of buffs when compared to the original Galatine in different areas. These stats would be:

• Higher Base Damage at 280.0 Vs. 182.0

• Higher Critical Chance at 26% Vs. 10%

• Higher Status Chance at 26% Vs. 20%

Advantages Vs. Disadvantages

Advantages:

• High Base Damage at 280.0

• Very High Critical Chance at 26%

• High Status Chance at 26%

Disadvantages:

• Low Impact and Puncture Damage at 7.0 / 2.5% Each

Builds

Corpus: Total Damage - 1,150.1 | Average Hit - 67,021.4 | Sustained DPS - 117,287.5 | Tested up to Level 145 at Max Stacks

The Element for the [Galatine Prime] against the Corpus will be Toxin. Toxin deals 50% base damage per second over 6 seconds and stacks indefinitely with each instance having its own timer. The Build's Flex Slot is [Gladiator Might] and worked out great. Although, there are some slight issues against Bursa type enemies, the rest of the Corpus is completely eradicated and the weapon has no issues with them.

Corrupted & Grineer: Total Damage - 954.8 | Average Hit - 36,174.9 | Sustained DPS - 63,306.1 | Tested up to Level 145 at Max Stacks

The Element for the Galatine Prime against the Corrupted and Grineer will be Viral/Slash. Viral amplifies health damage by 100% for 6 seconds and stacks up to 10 times for a total of 325%. Meanwhile, Slash's status effect is Bleed and after 1 second it deals 35% of the base damage per second for 6 seconds, which bypasses armor. The Build's Flex Slot is [Primed Smite Corrupted] or Grineer and this build works pretty great due to the amplification of Damage from Viral Procs and increased Faction Damage. However, if one wants to keep their Smite mod and not use it as the Flex Slot, than one could follow the Pure Slash Build.

• Pure Slash: Total Damage - 434.0 | Average Hit - 29,194.0 | Sustained DPS - 51,089.5 | Tested up to Level 145 at Max Stacks The Pure Slash Build performs roughly about the same as the first Build, but ended up dealing less True Damage, which is why it is an Alternative Build with the Flex Slot being Gladiator Might.

Infested: Total Damage - 1,410.5 | Average Hit - 53,440.3 | Sustained DPS - 93,520.4 | Tested up to Level 145 at Max Stacks

The Element for the [Galatine Prime] against the Infested will be Gas. Gas deals 50% base damage per second for 6 seconds in a 3 meter radius and stacks up to 10 times to a total of 6 meters. The Build's Flex Slot is [Primed Smite Infested] and this build works pretty good, but there is no Viral. Throughout multiple tests I found that Viral actually didn't work all that well and Gas ended up doing better in just completely melting the Infested away. However, if one doesn't want to use a Smite mod against the Infested, than a good Alternative would be Gladiator Might

Non-Stacking:

For once I would just suggest using the Normal Stacking Builds. This is due to the Non-Stacking Builds getting up to a 9x - 11x Combo Multiplier before being able to wipe out a squad of enemies.

Recommended Alternative Mods

• Smite Mods - In place of their Primed Counterparts if you don't have them.

• Fever Strike - In place of Primed Fever Strike if you don't have it.

• Amalgam Organ Shatter - In place of Organ Shatter if you use Heavy Attacks and are okay with losing 5% Critical Damage.

• Gladiator Rush - In place of the Flex Slot for helping with Combo Duration If you don't have Naroman focus or can't handle the combo chain duration.

• Drifting Contact - In place of the Flex Slot for helping with Combo Duration If you don't have Naroman focus or can't handle the combo chain duration.

• Quickening - In place of the Flex Slot for helping with increased Combo Count Chance along with a slightly faster Attack Speed.

Synergy with Galatine Prime

There are several ways to enhance Critical Stats and Damage for this weapon:

Damage:

• Rhino's Roar adds bonus damage.

• Valkyr's Warcry bolsters attack speed, in turn increasing DPS.

• [Nova]'s Molecular Prime makes all sources of damage increase by 100% against primed enemies, on top of that they will detonate upon death dealing blast damage.

• Mirage's Eclipse mixed with her Hall of Mirrors adds a massive damage bonus during the day or in light.

• Saryn's Toxic Lash mixed with her Spores abilities.

• Equinox's Rest & Rage in Day Form makes targets more vulnerable to Damage.

• Volt's Speed bolsters Attack Speed, in turn increasing DPS.

Critical Stats:

• Harrow's Covenant can add up to 50% Critical Chance and 200% on headshots.

• Adarza Kavat with Cat's Eye can give a 60% Critical Chance boost.

• Smeeta Kavat with Charm can give a 200% Crit Chance.

Arcane Synergy

• Arcane Fury - On Critical Hit, 60% chance for 180% Melee Damage to Melee Weapons for 18 seconds.

• Arcane Blade Charger - On Primary Weapon Kill, 30% chance for 300% Melee Damage for 12 seconds.

• Arcane Strike - On Hit, 15% chance for 60% Attack Speed to Melee Weapons for 18 seconds.

Riven Synergy

When you get your hands on a Riven for this weapon the Flex Slot to replace will be [Gladiator Might] and will only require 1 more Forma. In order to maximize Damage output with Galatine Prime, one will need to get lucky and get some nice stats. These ideal stats would be:

• Higher Average Damage - For Higher Average Damage the stats would be; Melee Damage, Critical Damage, Critical Chance, and Negative Finisher Damage or Negative Heavy Attack Efficiency if you don't like using Heavy Attacks.

• Higher Sustained DPS - For Higher Sustained DPS the stats would be; Melee Damage, Critical Damage, Attack Speed, and Negative Finisher Damage or Negative Heavy Attack Efficiency if you don't like using Heavy Attacks.
