[Valkyr]

This build was made to combine with this Valkyr build.

Melee Stat Stick

This build was made to combine with this Rakta Dark Dagger build. Any melee will work well as long as it has 3X Gladiator mods. Though [Rakta Dark Dagger] can also provide energy.

[Organ Shatter]

This build is based on having a melee weapon with 3x Gladiators equipped and frame with 1x Gladiator to boost crit by 40% per combo multiplier. Stacking a lot of crit means stacking crit damage to take advantage. Normally you would run [Gladiator Might] as well, but you can gain a ton of crit damage from Violet Archon shards while using Primed or [Archon Flow].

Using Naramon focus for 2x combo after operator slam, and better combo decay can be important for higher level content to ensure crit multiplier stays high.

Primed Reach + [Spring-Loaded Blade] + [Motus Impact]

The base range of this weapon is pitiful, and you have plenty of damage to spare, so range is a big help. [Motus Impact] is good as air melee is much easier to control positioning with compared to ground melee, and you can still perform slide attacks in the air.

[Sacrificial Pressure]

Doesn't need to be sacrificial, but can be if you are sweaty.

[Opportunity's Reach] (Tennokai)

At the cost of an additional Umbra forma, you can use any tennokai mod. Any of them is better than [Mentor's Legacy], I just prefer a longer window. The heavy attack is a heavy slam attack unaffected by normal range mods, so its range starts at 7m. Unfortunately, the range boost does not seem to apply here. To improve the utilization of this attack, you may want to run Magus Anomaly to draw enemies in.
