Facts: The dragon nikana might do a bit more damage without stance mods, but if you mod the dakra prime correctly, and use the crimson dervish stance's 3x combos, the aoe damage you deal with the sword is actually more dps, plus it has more style to it (just paind the sword black and turn on sword art online :P)

To give the idea, i've done 2 builds for viral, both without forma

first the dragon nikana:

then the dakra prime:

yes, on paper the dragon nikana should domore damage, however the builder doesn't count for the speed of the combos and the 3x damage multiplier on crimson dervish...add those into the math and you get the dakra prime as winner for total damage, at least that's what i came to.
