However, it's also worth noting that Shattering Impact procs on every single hit, regardless of the damage types on the weapon (though the weapon has to have some impact damage) wheras, if you have multiple damage types on your Ninkondi, it won't be proccing corrosive on every hit. And since you need 3 dual stat-mods (or Weeping Wounds, I guess) to get the Ninkondi up to 98% status, you'll usually have an additional damage type that can mess things up.

Another note is that at extremely high levels, even enemies like Butchers can have annoyingly high armor, and a single Shattering Impact hit will still clean their armor off. However, the Shaku is then left with its lack-luster impact damage against flesh that resists impact damage. For a dedicated armor cleaner, Ninkondi is generally better.
