So to everybody raging,

Yes D Nikana does deal  ≈2x the damage of Jaw Sword with no stance on it

Yes Crimson Dervish makes Jaw Sword do  ≈3x it's original damage, thus more per hit than D Nikana. Maybe more using Coiling Impale for finishers, Maybe less using Twisting Flurry for Blast proc fun time

Yes all syndicate mod procs are situational but.... 'endgame' where these min/maxing debates are relevant is almsot always endless missions with large amounts of enemies in small areas.

Now, even with all that considered. Comparing weapons that don't use the same stances is practically impossible and to do it impartially is asking for a miracle. You have completely differnt motion sets and non-comparable attack speeds. You need to compare abstact concepts like 'feel' and then you still have the mobility debate.

D Nikana is probably still better for a quick melee than Jaw

Dakra will still make a better crit build than Jaw simply because it has 3x the crit chance

Jaw Sword can do wonders against rooms packed with enemies

If you're a TLDR person

They're all excellent options

Play with them all, keep what you like and the rest is mastery fodder
