Venka Prime

The Venka Prime is the Prime variant of the Venka.

Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:
 * High damage – effective against Infested, Flesh and Cloned Flesh.
 * Good critical chance.
 * High ground finisher attack damage because of multiple strikes in quick succession, which causes status effect procs from every blow.
 * Slam attack will ragdoll nearby enemies.
 * Melee combo multiplier of 0.75 instead of the classic 0.5, allowing for larger damage multipliers in fewer hits.
 * This also improves its synergy with Blood Rush and Weeping Wounds.

Disadvantages:
 * Low damage – less effective against shields.
 * Small jump attack AoE.
 * Short attack range.

Trivia

 * It is the first weapon that has a modified melee combo counter.
