Tips
- It is not recommended for use against Infested enemies (especially at high levels) due to the majority of the damage being Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
- Due to light infested units being granted armor by Swarm-Mutalist MOA, Fang Prime can still end up being more effective versus those units than slash-based daggers.
- When farming Void Relics for the handles, keep in mind that a Fang Prime Handle is required to advance in the Red Veil Syndicate.
Notes
- All melee attacks beside normal attacks (jump, slide, wall, slam and finisher attacks) have a 10% proc chance.
- Unlike many other prime weapons, Fang Prime does not require Orokin Cells to build.
