Kullervo's Collective Curse to turn this into an AOE

2:52 it does indeed affect pre-existing statuses look at the screen when the arcane procs it's adding all impact, slash, cold, blast, viral goes from 2,1,2,2,3 stacks to 5,9,8,8,9 stacks

List of melee attack that force both knockdown/lift/ragdolls AND bleed (I just have too much time) - 1h Nikana : Heavy - Tonfa : Heavy - Claw : Heavy, only on 2nd time after using heavy consecutively - Whip : Heavy - Dagger : Homing Fang neutral - Dual Dagger : Heavy, Gnashing Paraya neutral - Glaive : Gleaming Talon forward block - War Fan : Votive Onslaught neutral - Gunblade : All combo that involve shooting inflict ragdoll+bleed in melee range I may missed more but feel free to add them in

2:50 to 2:52 Melee affliction DOES add 6 extra starus effects to the enemy's already existing status effect regardless if its applied by the weapon itself or not You yourself primed the enemy, it had 2 viral procs, did the heavy attack and not only the affliction damage instance had viral, blast, puncture and impact along side slash, but also on the enemy itself, the number of viral procs went from 2 to 9 So yeah, it will be EVEN STRONGER on a diriga primer setup and replacing PPP with CO

I was there during the testing stream using your data "live" to build my harmony and pestering you with questions lmao, tho it paid off, 660mil heavys with no priming was my end result, love you man ❤

Excellent. One of my favorite weapons is still pennant, so this is a very nice buff to go with dispatch Overdrive build

Solid video. Straight to the point.

Now imagine me using Kullervo at 294% strenght, and using Roar, it's fun as hell, i mean, i don't see the affliction actually work until they start not dying from a single attack, but it helps me scale higher

Single handed nikana have forced slash and knockdown on heavy attacks too. There is this thing i noticed for a normal attack build with tennokai. Using disciplines merit, every 4 hit you get tennokai, you heavy attack and it wil forcel procc slash+knockdown and melee affliction will reapply those slash. Pretty good for people who run normal attack builds but wanna use melee afflictions.

Thx for the research. I'm not actually interested in slash at all, but I might test this on my own with Tox or blast.

Kullervo looking at this from a distance with a devious smile 😏 Yeah, anything is a aoe nuke with Kullervo lmao it'll be perfect on him

Warfans are also great, Votive Onslaught's forward combo is pretty fast which can trigger Discipline's Merit very rapidly. Their heavy attack force both knockdowns and bleeds, which benefits Afflictions heavily.

What!!! how was I not subscribed? literally my favorite channel for interesting builds and accurate information! To all the people who hate when youtubers mention their subscribed watchers rate, he's talking to people like me!

This, this will get me to play melee, especially since I won't need to keep up with combo and can interchange with my gun

He does it again!

Does the forced status from Lavos Valence Formation also get multiplied by Afflictions?

If you wanna try this on Dual Daggers here's what I've found (on Okina Prime) All stances share the same heavy attack that swings twice for twice the procs at 14 slash procs (use same heavy build in video) Gnashing Payara neutral has lift and forced slash on second swing, however the animation feels really awkward to use so I prefer the other stance; Spinning Needle neutral has forced slash on second swing and lift on third, but the swings are much wider so I prefer it (Similar build to heavy, I just swapped corrupt charge for blood rush) However, heavy attack build is by far the strongest

would these builds also be optimal for slam? cause all i want to is slam i made one with the slam damage increase mod instead of primed pressure point since it had marginally more damage and was wondering if that was ok to do

Just throwing a question. For the Harmony unique mechanic, does expedite suffering effect only affects the status that the heavy attack itself procs, or any existing status effects on the enemy (from primers or the melee itself)?
