Garuda Prime Talons, in my opinion are one of the stronger exalted melee weapons in the game due to their 1% differential in status and crit damage at base with no mods. But this is a more combo focused build to synergies with [Relentless Combination] for slash as a gateway proc to make way for elemental damage and status. I personally don't use any form of attack speed because some stance mods are faster than the base combinations without stance mods to begin with.

To keep up combo duration and supplement for combo duration with either Primary or Secondary Dexterity arcanes while also keeping the damage stack for either weapon classes.

Keep in mind that this is how I build MY weapon's an warframe's, they work really well for me, so if you are one of those people that is going to to go into the comments and give me shit is to how I play the game, I will kindly ask you to put a tooth pick under your toenail and kick a wall. JOKINGLY OF COURSE.

If you do decide to follow my builds don't get butthurt if your numbers aren't the same, all the riven's are the ones that "I have rolled" so don't psyche yourself out if you don't get a riven that is a good as the ones in my builds.

Be sure to take a look at my other builds. I also recommend looking at the vault status of all prime variants in the second link below. If you want information on the quests and the requirements, I recommend looking on the actual Warframe website under the game dropbox to look at the warframe profile videos as well as looking at the quest guide and the faction types. Click the third link below if you are interested.
