Pennant - Kurel's Steel Flag of Doom

Kurel's "Steel Flag of Doom"

Wave hello to enemies! Wave goodbye to enemy health!

The standard heavy attack spam melee build. Copy-paste this onto other weapons that force slash procs on heavy.

6 forma (6V). Adjust down for other weapons as needed.

On weapons that offer initial combo from passive or riven, increase Corrupt Charge to r3 if total init combo is 10-17.5 (mod 20).

Weapon types that force slash procs on heavy attack:

  • Two-handed nikanas (like Pennant!)
  • One-handed nikanas
  • Daggers
  • Dual daggers
  • Rapiers
  • Scythes
  • Heavy scythes
  • Machetes
  • Warfans
  • Tonfas
  • Whips
  • Claws

re: Rivens

You can use them with this build. The best substitute targets are PSmite and PReach.
Go for these stats, in roughly descending tiers of priority:

  1. +range, +grineer; this will determine whether you switch out PSmite or PReach.
  2. +cd, +as, +initcombo >30
  3. +initcombo >10, +cc, +dmg
  4. +ele
  5. +sc
  6. everything else

Variants

  • CO: Replaces Sac P. Use if you have a primer and can consistently get 3 procs on enemies beforehand.
  • PPP/True Steel: Replaces Sac P/Steel. Use if you don't have Sac P/Steel.
  • PFS or Proton Snap: Replaces PSmite. Replace 1V with 1-, if PFS. Use if weapon does not proc slash on heavy.
  • [Berserker Fury]: Replaces PFury. Can remove 1V. Higher DPS output, but has a brief ramp.

How to play this build:

  1. Get your melee in hand by using quick-melee or holding weapon switch key.
  2. Mash that heavy attack button.
  3. ???
  4. Grofit.

Updates

2022 Jun 18 -- Switched [Berserker Fury] to PFury, as the whole schtick of heavy spam builds is not needing a ramp in the first place. Updated weapon type list. Updated riven stat priorities. Added extra math-y bits. Rewrote and updated Variants section (was "Substitutions" before).
