How to be successful Melee only in Warframe - Part 2
Melee Weapon Dakra Prime - In my opinion this is the only viable melee to use in a melee only journey. To be able to do melee only a mission you will also need the crimson dervish equipped on your Dakra Prime.
It is impossible to go with only melee because the stamina is decreasing way to harsh in order to go melee only. This is one point that developers need to change, it really makes the game look buggy and sluggish. When you are melee only almost everything you do is decreasing your stamina which I think it is a stupid thing for a space ninja. It does not really make too much of a sense. A ninja is meant to be fast and trained, not to mention a futuristic ninja.
So to recapitulate first thing you need to do is to equip yourself with a Dakra Prime, Crimson Dervish and a Primed Flow for 3 X Damage.
Another issue is that the melee attacks do not scale fast enough in order to be able to go melee only. Since Melee 2.0 we know that melee attacks are scaling up as follows:
5 x hits - 1.5 x damage
15 x hits - 2 x damage
45 x hits - 2.5 x damage
135 x hits - 3 x damage
405 x hits - 3.5 x damage
I know this is a nice update but I think this needs at least divided by two so it will go like 2 hits - 1.5 x damage, 6 x hits - 2 x damage and so on. This will make a big difference and will make more sense in the melee only game.
