Melee Prowess

Melee Prowess is a mod that increases the status chance of melee weapons.

Stats

Melee Prowess is additive with similar mods. For example, a Galatine with a max rank Melee Prowess and Drifting Contact will have a 20% × (1 + 15% + 40%) = 31% status chance.
Can be stacked with Volcanic Edge, Vicious Frost, Voltaic Strike, Virulent Scourge, Enduring Strike, and Drifting Contact for a 355% increase in Status Chance while Channeling. On weapons with at least 22% base Status Chance, this allows them to achieve a total Status Chance value of 100%, allowing every strike to deal Status Effect procs.
- Weeping Wounds can further increase the Status Chance depending on the Melee Combo Counter

The Jat Kittag, Lecta, Endura, Serro, Ninkondi, and Lacera benefit greatly from this mod as they have a status chance of 25% or higher (in the Ninkondi's case, 35%, and in the Lacera's case, 45%).
