This build is the part of the build series about Endo farm on Yam, Sedna in Steel Path mode.

We're using [Ripkas] because of its unique mod [Amalgam Ripkas True Steel] which makes game to account every hit of our weapons as if it was dealt primarily with Slash Damage type.

This, despite fandom wiki description, does not mean we can kill enemies with Slash Status Effect damage i.e. Bleed and still dismember enemies' bodies. Instead line "+100% Gore Chance" means it's highly likely that we bisect them with the last hit or corpse hit. I'm using the phrase "highly likely", because to succesfully bisect every enemy, you must always aim at the torso, which you won't do for sure just out of common sense.

Hence, here is classic Slash weapon build to maximize our DPS.

Generally speaking, there are 2 ways to build this type of weapons. First and the most common is to use Viral + Slash, which is good enough and can be chosen by some players due to its lower mods' cost. Second, which is shown here, is when you skip Viral at all to get [Primed Smite Grineer] and [Amalgam Ripkas True Steel] (or [Gladiator Might] when you do general build).

In terms of numbers exclusively, second build can increase your sustained DPS by 15% or more due to how [Primed Smite Grineer] works. Not only that, but your Slash also stops to conflict with Viral which maximum potential let me remind you is achieved at 10 stacks and after 5 hours of testing, I've never seen any more than 5. So, as long as you have your maximum Combo counter, you can deal maximum damage from the very first hit. For the same reason [Primed Pressure Point] is being used instead of [Condition Overload].

Weapon Build

1. [Malicious Raptor] as the most damaging stance for Claws.
2. [Primed Pressure Point], [Blood Rush], [Weeping Wounds] and [Organ Shatter] as the staple for all Slash oriented builds.
3. [Primed Fury] to further increase DPS.
4. [Primed Reach] because the more enemies you're hitting, the more DPS you get.

Notes

1. Make sure to use Primary dexterity, Secondary dexterity and/or Naramon's Power Spike way.
2. Since its Riven disposition is very high, it's strongly recommended to use a Riven mod. Look for the one which can replace 2 of the mods presented in this build: Range, Attack Speed, Critical Damage, Melee Damage, Damage to Grineer. Critical Chance stat would actually be bad since you can't outroll 440% from [Blood Rush] and on top of that you're forced to use another Critical Chance mod which is mandatory for the build.
3. You might want to tinker with the mods after getting a Riven, depending on what stats it has. My Riven consist of high Attack Speed and Critical Damage meaning other mods of these types will be less impactful than for example [Carnis Mandible] or [Vicious Frost].
