^On a single target. Trash status. Trash Crit Chance. Trash Crit Modifier. Just trash everything besides that Resonance damage thing.

Everyone likes to defend Fang Prime by bringing up attack speed and Puncture damage for heavy Grineer, right? And that three hit thing...

They nerfed Fury into the ground. Won't even talk about Berserker. Fang Prime could only reliably use Fury. Channeling mods will bleed you dry almost instantly trying to buff crit and speed.

Dual Ichors have innate Toxin damage. Can slot Focus Energy. This substitutes for Puncture quite nicely. Can effectively make use of Berserker, even without crit chance mods. This pummels any of Fang Prime's potential speed into the ground. Can hit multiple enemies. This right here annihilates Fang Prime's usefulness in Warframe (don't even TRY to argue. Fang Prime comes from endless Void. "Endless numbers" doesn't go well with weapons that only hit one thing at a time at melee range when targets like to group together. No one sticks to Sabotage and Spy missions forever. Don't lie). With a little extra status, or a little extra crit, Fang Prime could overcome this shortcoming with a Viral build and break the game. Maybe even do that now if those extra 'background' attacks can proc. If they cannot, Fang Prime is nothing more than the cookie in the glass jar you keep on top of the counter to keep a child busy so you can focus on more important things. It is worthless. Put in the game with the knowledge that players would drop complaints on other things to chase the bait that just landed in the water. "Oooh..shiny!"

Especially with Dual Ichors' access to Viral damage, Swirling Tiger, Reach, Enduring Strike, Berserker...you get the picture.

Fang Prime is Ash's weapon. It's that simple. Teleport, kill. Teleport, kill. Rinse, Repeat.

But to be honest...Glaive Prime is where it's at. It's a Melee Frisbee, a Throwing Frisbee, and an Explosive Ping-Pong Teleporting Frisbee. Does it get any better than that? Maybe.
