At the very least, if you're getting into melee like I finally am after the melee rework, this looks like the go-to staff/polearm weapon on almost all fronts. Bo Prime and Tipedo Prime are straight up flat damage downgrades (~50 damage difference) with reduced attack speeds, Bo Prime has less crit similar status and Tipedo is same crit less status. The range on all staves/polearms look to be normalized at 3m now. I guess if you -really- wanted to go for impact over slash, Bo Prime is an alright alternative for bonking shields and robots.

It doesn't look like on paper, any of the staves beat Orthos Prime at the moment, with the sole exception of rivens being extremely powerful on the lower disposition weapons. None of the other staves/polearms look all too noteable to me, except maybe the Vaykor Sydon for slightly reduced all-round stats and the added benefit of a radial blind after blocking enough (and now that blocking reduces 100% damage, could be noteworthy)
