Was not prepared for how gud this melee is. Slash and a decent stance.
To me its just kinda crazy how one of the most iconic weapons in the game is named after a fictional nazi scientist.
True, and Kroenen also looks cool too
Too strong and i love it.
Why oh why it said still vaulted?, I want to farm this but does not know where the relics are dropping from....
You can go to the relic thing in your ship, search for kronen prime, go through all the relics and find the ones that arent vaulted. If you press tab on them it tells you where to farm them.
You can do that???, ah thank you kind stranger, back to the grind
Open World Bounties and Void missions.
This is not a melee, its a wood chipper, the amount of slash procs i slap with this thing its ridiculous and what its even weirder for me you dont need viral to support the slash procs, its that strong.
Fuckin trueeee
Can someone explain why alot of people use this? and why it costs around 170p. I mean wouldnt i guess the reaper prime e.g. be better or right now for sp verdillac?
The Sovereign Outcast stance is unreasonably overpowered. Animations are rather fluid, fast, tons of multi-hits, the range is decent and it features a lot of attacks with a ton of horizontal range. Which would all already make it a good stance, but it also happens to have some of the strongest multipliers of all stances.
One part of the neutral combo deals 4x 200% damage, and each one of those forces a slash proc. That single part is already stronger than the entire neutral combo of most stances.
Its just a really good weapon for normal attack builds, even if you could kill crowds faster with more gimmicky builds.
For example: Reaper Prime, while great for heavy attack builds, has terrible stances that hinder the effectiveness of normal attack builds, despite the weapon's good stats.
"Reaper Prime, while great for heavy attack builds, has terrible stances that hinder the effectiveness of normal attack builds, despite the weapon's good stats." So Very True
DE slammed the dispo a second time (or maybe a third.) Glad I sold my spare riven when I did.
Honestly the best weapon in the game anyone who disagrees is a nonce and probably wipes their shit with their thumb
Lol? did you seriously think the date was his username?
A Lone Tenno is the anon name. People use the date if they want to specify a lone tenno.
All the top tier players know the king melee meta is the Heat Sword.
That's why we've never seen a Heat Sword Prime... It would break the game with its greatness. xD
Just one of the best. Theres still others that tide with this weapon like Reaper prime, Nikana prime and glaive prime. And you dont have the right to neglect people's opinions
Imagine using this 🤡
🤡
I like how this weapons gone from a 'meh' weapon to literally the weapon that everyone used.
Only noobs use it. Pro uses other melee
I like how he doesn't even give another melee suggestion. Like come on man, spread the apparent best melee that pros use!
Prolly a butthurt neckbeard that didn't pick it up when it was available, also it's the Sovereign Outcast stance, that makes this weapon really awesome, so much AOE
Will be unvaulted 27 April 2021
It is going to be unvauted
Yup finally i can farm and build it, will save me like 200p
27.04
What the hell is wrong with people selling rivens with trash rolls for this weapon. 400-500p not even a single usuable stat.
Ikr and that riven dispo makes it barely worth it to get one ( buy one but if u unveil 1 and you have this weapon, then best you keep the riven ).
Metaslaves are willing to pay through the nose for stuff that can't really even be called an upgrade.
People are rolling trash stats and selling it for high price because people with plat to burn will buy it even though the dispo is low.
A bad roll riven for such a good weapon is still going to attract buyers, especially those that have 100's of thousands of kuva to make sure it becomes a good riven...
Even now with its awful dispo, a cc/cd/rando negative riven is the difference between orange crits and red crits. People will pay a lot of plat for that
Anyone here saying that Kronen isnt WoRtH iT or that its OvErhYpeD clearly hasnt built and used it properly against higher level enemies and it shows.
It's carried pretty hard by the stance. If other weapons had a stance as good nobody would speak that highly about Kronen Prime.
Very true the kronen is only good cause of its stance soverign outcast if i didnt have that stance and could only use gemini cross then nobody would use it
Yup this status weapon good at clearing mobs only, which mostly the level noobs can do.
Well, what else are you gonna do?
Waste your time with Eidolons?
Selling this weapon riven is like hotcakes right now, managed to sell a trashy roll for 500p under an hour after listing it. now the cheapest trashy rolls is sold for 600p lol.
Sheep mentality is strong, a youtuber makes a video and bam!
I sold two Speed Drifts in under an hour for the same reason. Nobody had even heard of the thing then some YouTuber decides it's okay and suddenly there's a rush to get it.
The best of the tonfas, my fav melee, I just wish people would stop hyping it so much, It's good, and definitely one of the best melees in the game by far, but there is no best melee, only a best in slot for each catagory
"I just wish people would stop hyping it so much"
Nah man, that disposition is gonna go down to 0.5, nothing anyone can do about it anymore. The hype train is going full speed
Nyooom
AKA THE BEST MELEE
Not really
Ackchyually...
What makes it "THE BEST MELEE" is the Sovereign Outcast stance mod. Hitting 6 times or something per button click in a wide arc is just ridiculous.
Best? debatable
Most Overrated? undoubtedly
Yes best melee for noobs who doesn't know how to use other melee.
Tbh you see youtubers hype about this weapon, even though that there are a lot of melees like the kronen that function similarly (if not maybe even better). Considering it's worth almost 200p from the market and the riven despo is going down the drain. I would think twice before getting this weapon. The Telos Boltace is a SLIGHT downgrade to the kronen and it goes for 30-50p depending on the time. So in the end you almost get the same result as the kronen with the boltace. In my eyes, save your plat for something else.
Boltace deals puncture not slash unlike the Kronen which can delete armored units with bleed procs
The stance comes with an attack that deals 4x 200% damage with a guaranteed slash proc on each of those hits.
Slash on the weapon is an upside, but not a must for Tonfas (not to mention that punture is a pretty good damage type in terms of pure damage)
Their performance is not far from each other
damn i'm dreading the day my riven gets nerfed again, come on DE don't do dis, i have 118 rolls to get myself godroll of +CC, +CD, +Cold - combo eff
I mean, unless they show a bias to the weapon there's nothing they can do to prevent the riven getting nerfed or buffed since it's based on popularity, only reason the disposition isn't worse is because it's vaulted
sell now before it gets nerfed again, i predict a dispo of 0.65 like how galatine prime is sitting at
You were right...tho it did not get dispo nerfed too bad
That's not a godroll mate
I just realised that i was sitting on alot of relics containing parts for the Kronen. Time to get this weapon or cry trying (DE, Please fix the chances so when a radiant relic gets cracked open, we don't get a common item.)
Agreed.
