Nulla. Introduction:

Introduced: 24/05/2023.

Kicking off week 1 with a very generic melee, however should still not go under the radar, all of its perk promote and encourage a true heavy hybrid build without having to spend extra slots for it. A true monster of a weapon indeed. This is your default 12x Heavy Hybrid Slash build (no priming/armor strip).

I. Unlisted Recommendations:

• Primary/Secondary AoE Primer:
A primer is the term used to describe another weapon (external source) that is allotted to the role of applying multiple status effects before using your primary weapon of DPS. Most melee builds will heavily benefit from not only the viral status effect but also from additional unique statuses since they will be running the mod Conditional Overload resulting in a significant increase of DPS.

• Primed Fury: Quickening, Gladiator Vice, Berserker Fury.
• Primed Reach: Reach, [Spring-Loaded Blade].
