Don't let the other builds around deceive you.
This weapon is an absolute monster if you plan for it accordingly
Due to it's passive of pausing the combo timer when the weapon is sheathed, it is very easy to maintain a 12x combo
Staying in this state in this setup has the benefit of 212% crit chance and 201% status chance

Alternatively, if you are playing a frame that already buffs your attack speed, or you struggle to maintain the 5 second combo, switch out [Gladiator Vice] for [Gladiator Rush]
Whichever element it has active doesn't matter all that much tbh, but Radiation helps out the most here to help it deal high damage vs. armored targets
