I always loved this weapon's aesthetics but it was too sluggish and the combos weren't up my alley so I threw it in the bin until Melee 3.0 arrived and by god, what an upgrade this thing got.

I rerolled a riven with +damage +combo chance +elec and -infested damage a while ago and decided to play around with this on a whim with Final Harbringer and I'm happy to say its an absolute monster of a hybrid weapon. You don't even need to mod for 100% status since the stance's forced procs can make up for it, and it has enough innate crit chance that Blood Rush and Berserker are a must.

I can melt lvl 165 Corrupted Heavy Gunners with the standing combo and the forward combo isn't too shabby either. Block attack's forward spinning leap is also a great way to cover ground and knocks enemies down. With the heat proc's rework to strip armor, it makes its innate heat damage even better. Mod it for corrosive and you can melt through the Grineer like butter, armor be damned.

About my only criticism for this weapon (aside from double D polarity) is that it feels slow for the first few swings until you get your Berserker stacks and the Final Harbringer stance's block combo is slow if you follow it up from the spinning leap but if you can handle them, then you got yourself a really solid weapon with (IMO) excellent fashion, Toilet Scrubber be damned.
