Talk:Valkyr (Warframe)/@comment-76.85.144.163-20150904160655/@comment-4448946-20150911164946

I have done the math, those are the 10 melee weapons that result in Hysteria doing the most damage.

I did the calculations using maxed Pressure Point, Spoiled Strike, True Steel and Organ Shatter on each weapon and Syndicate mods where appropriate. Maxed Steel Charge on Valkyr was also used in my calculations. I did the calculations for both base and max Power Strength.

I did the calculations for any weapon with a 25% critical chance, every weapon with 60 or more damage and even included Karyst with Covert Lethality on it. This was a total of 27 Weapoins.

Here are all 27 in order of Average Damage Per Hit...

Scindo Prime, Fragor, Jat Kittag, Galatine, Atterax, Dual Cleavers and Prisma Dual Cleavers, Magister, Dual Raza, Dragon Nikana, Anku, Dual Ichor, Scindo, Dual Zoren, Bo Prime, Karyst, Tonbo, Orthos Prime, Reaper Prime, Hate, Boltace, Dakra Prime, Dex Dakra, Serro, Obex, Kronen, Redeemer.

If you think there's anything else viable post it and I'll do the math and put it in the rankings.

Scindo Prime is far better than anything else, including Galatine, for damage while in Hysteria. Max Damage for Scindo Prime is 10733.08 per hit, not including a Manticore Skin, while Galatine can only get up to 8202.56 per hit. That's a difference of over 2.5k per hit or 30% more damage. Even Fragor, the second best choice, only gets up to 9629.49 damage per hit.

Scindo Prime is the best weapon for Hysteria, Jat Kittag is probably the second best choice because it's better than Fragor outside Hysteria and they only differ by <100 damage depending on power Strength.

However, for any new player building a Valkyr when they've just finished Jupiter. Fragor is probably the best option because it is cheap and easy to obtain compared to Scindo Prime and Jat Kittag. As well, the damage difference between them is considerably smaller with base Power Strength or only Intensify.

PS No Magister's fun Blast procs don't transfer, unfortunately :/
