this weapon is built to be used with a status staking weapon but by itself it still does good damage. a good weapon to use with this would be the [Cedo] a reason why is because if you like melee then you can use a good [Cedo] status stacking build where you shoot the [Glaive] for a large amount of damage increase also i like to use naramon with this so that your combo count does not go down that fast. dont trust the numbers that overframe says because again this is a heavy build so it does not say those numbers but it hits 1680x3 on a heavy attack which becomes about 5040 base damage per hit over 3 times higher than [Reaper Prime] which has god heavy builds.
