Plasma Sword.
- The old appearance of the Gram is still used for the "Heavy Weapon Proficiency" challenge icons.

I always thought this was a corpus greatsword,
Its the purple edges and the yellow bit on the guard
Screams box head...
K why is the search for granum crown leading me to this page?
It doesn't for me. You sure you didn't make a typo?
I am clicking the "Granum Crown" in search box
Also, seems like it is fixed now?
For the trivia dept., Wikipedia suggests Old Norse *gramr* has the meaning of "wrath"; modern Dutch gram, gramschap still carry the same connotation. Cf. of course English grim; according to the Online Etymology Dictionary, these are all from Proto-Germanic grimma. Note it also points to German grimm of the same meaning, I'm not sure how German gram (sorrow, affliction) fits in there.
Forgot the etymonline link, that would be here.
If they were going to change the appearance, they should have changed the faction as well. "new" gram model might look better, but it looks nothing like tenno tech, looks like corpus tech.
My stance slot is Vazarin, not Madurai
The disposition is only going to change IF more people actually start using the Gram or Gram Prime. I for one have the Galatine Prime and Gram, and I use both off and on. Gala Prime is a good crit weapon, Gram P is gonna be a great status weapon.
Galatine Prime is a good hybrid weapon, my bad.
Also, if they don't change those stats, then I guess there wil be a change.
I think we will have a disposition change is coming
Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't there been ZERO disposition adjustments so far?
There have been a few adjustments.
But yeah, this thing without a disposition shift will be the best melee weapon by a pretty healthy degree
"disposition change coming"
>September 14, 2018
ffs, can they finally fix the damn melee dispositions
I just got a +119% Critical Hit Chance on Slide attack Riven for Gram.
Im gonna put this and maiming strike on it when Gram Prime comes out lol
When gram prime comes out the disposition for the gram and gram prime will go down, and your riven won't be as good...
Why??? wasting slots!!! Low range for spin to win
no point using this when there is Galatine and Galatine prime.
maybe when the announced Gram Prime comes out
lol compare the stats and reconsider
Its a mastery rank 2 weapon what did you expect, this is the introduction to Tenno first great sword weapon, it only gets better from here
Wait, its a tenno weapon?! It looks a lot more like a corpus weapon becouse of the neon lights and such
Might be a more invasively modified weapon then, say, the Vandal tech-guns we plunder and fix up. An amplified-in-size plasma sword.
LOL this sword and it's prime has a shot for competition with the Galatine and the Galatine Prime.
I have no idea why matching polarity with a shitty stance is an advantage, if it doesn't match stance polarity with cleaving whirlwind (the defining stance of the heavy sword) then there's nothing to be gained there.
It's always an advantage to have a polarity on the stances
and i just got a slash/crit/status raven nice.
why so much interest in gram rivens recently. was a prime/dex version announced or something?
Prime was announced on the TennoCon. https://i.imgur.com/4wOldpe.jpg
Im curious....
Can this thing outperform my beloved Galatine Prime?
I mean, if I build them very similar, both with Riven equipped that has close to each other Stats the Gram has way less base Damage and takes a bit longer to spool into full Savage Mode with Berserker, but can the strong Riven Disposition (1.44 to 0.5) alone turn it into a real Contestant?
I think I have to figure it out by building one, get a Riven, stuff it with Forma and try it out. ^^
If you are still interested I have an unrolled riven CD,slash,dmg,-atk speed on PC
easy
wouldn't -att speed on gram prime hurt it really bad?
Is this a Tenno weapon?
Yes.
This information for Gram is outdated, the weapon is way better now :/
Please update ur wiki mate :(
in what way?
In that way the Gram is described as the worst heavy sword, despite actually outperforming, for example, Scindo.
The issues comes from the fact the description was made years ago and Gram was heavily buffed in 2014 (more than doubled damage, doubled crit chance, increased status chance).
what does " Ground finisher can connect with multiple enemies " mean? doesn't seems any difference from some weapon does same move when ground finish.
Grams neon light radius is so pretty, it's so sad that it has bad stats. Well, Rivens can help with this.
CAN help? I dont know if its one of the Top Tier Melee with a good Riven, but it outperforms at least 75%-80% of the rest, for sure, if ur Riven has some good-awesome Stats. And Rivs for that are bloody cheap (compared to, lets say Galatine)
Heyy boissssss
Why does my gram has only 1.1 channeling damage? First i thought it's because mine was built 2 years ago. Tried to build a new one to no avail. Got the same 1.1 channeling dmg.
Picture, if you can?
Looks like U22.2.0 sorted it. Noticed this on the screenshot i have uploaded to imgur :)
Both grams, new and 2 years old one, now have 1.5 channeling damage.
