    • 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.

  • All melee attacks beside normal attacks (jump, slide, wall, slam and finisher attacks) have a 10% proc chance.
