Something worth nothing about this weapon is that it doesn't have momentum. Since many of its combos require long execution, this aspect, which is both advantage (allows more mobility) and disadvantage (no knockdown resistance midcombos), may be good to consider among its points too.

More often than not I find myself getting knocked on my back by some attacks while performing its (relatively and surprisingly) slow combos, while other weapons such as Glaive will allow me to resist most if not all knockdown attacks, even Arson Eximus fire blast. The good part is that Venka allows you to move very freely while performing the combos (and even further if you master the buttslide). The delay given between each attacks in Malicious Raptor is large enough that, even after quite a long pause, you can resume the combo string.
