Tips[]
- Like its non-prime variant, Akjagara Prime has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces. This makes it an ideal weapon for a Desecrating Nekros as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
- Akjagara Prime is an effective weapon against high-level Grineer due to it dealing principally slash damage and having very high status chance, which enables the user to reliably bypass armor.
- Another counter-Grineer property of this weapon is its minimal punch through. Despite having little to none crowd control potential, it's enough to ignore Shield Lancer's cover.
