Are you always running out of ammunition ? Is your favorite pew-pew jammed ?
Don't panic !
Step 1 : find a Vastilok.
Step 2 : Hydron-Sedna.
Step 3 : build it like any other combo-based-high-slash-value-melee-weapon.
Step 4 : read https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Bullet_Dance
Step 5 : learn to alternate between the first moves of the two main combos (setting a specific macro on your mouse/keyboard according to your attack speed can be a pretty stupid useful idea). Enjoy spamming Samba-Slash in corners.
Step 6 : consider selling some primaries and secondaries.

--> Highest status chance of all gunblades.
--> Highest blocking angle of all gunblades (90°).
--> Gunblade shots function similarly to a shotgun, firing multiple pellets simultaneously.
--> Innate multishot of 9 pellets.
--> Innate 1.3 meter punch through.
--> Shots have a chance to either stagger or knockdown enemies.
--> Firing within 4 meters of an enemy will stagger them.
--> Shots do not use ammo.
--> Shots receive a 25% bonus to physical damage types. This includes Heavy Attacks.
--> Shots done with regular attacks (more common with the Mod [Bullet Dance] stance) are very effective at building up melee Combo Count, as each pellet counts as a separate hit to build up the combo.
About this build :
- The Riven displayed is my own one.
- Repeating the slide attack is a very (maybe a bit too much) effective way to kill huge crowds of enemies. Also, the movement speed while sliding is stupidly fast.
- Insane proc distribution considering the innate 9 bullets multishot.
Proc distribution :
Not the most optimized melee weapon due to its weird stance, but definitely a very fun and powerful one to play with.
