This NIKANA is best MELEE INFLUENCE weapon in Warframe! Melee trough walls!

As far as an actual melee, not thrown weapon, Syam is probably the best cause of the range of its hevy. Altho Warframe is warframe and thrown weapons are broken, therefor sadly there is one true king for melee influence, but I love Nikanas too much.

This is weapon is from duviri and its Syam with heavy attack shockwaves as its gimmick, literally explained this part during weapons build segment and left my Syam riven in there in case coz I changed name to Muramasa :D

[diabolo]

For those who doesn't know, Syam nikana is a weapon with a unique heavy attack in melee that summon a shockwave that hit enemies from high range.

Melee arcanes/tennokai made melee fun for me for the first time since the blood rush/berserker fury nerfs.

[RapTapTap]

Imagine how insane this build would have been with the negative combo duration bug from a couple months ago

[TheLoveexceeder]

I wish people actually start using murmur enemy on testing things .. nowadays the late game content is deep elite archimidea and there we have only murmurs so it would be so much helpfull know not only wich warframe can do it alone but also the best weapons to use on it .

[dellisbeaver]

Bo Incarnon is prolly the best for me personally. 10 meter long stick, 62% base status chance before ramping.

Changed the gas for viral for testing purpose and im amazed at how strong it is, i normally need to do 2 heavy atk in gas with your build without buff on Lua circulus steelpath and with the viral one the heat from the unique trait screw the electric and make rad, it is really strong it oneshots without buff (have a crit chance riven + damage to grineer it makes red crit 1/3 of the atks i changed focus energy w my riven ) still but for that i would need to use the shock version.disclaimer i use xata version of saryn build for disruption also xata is pretty strong for melees too

[PoisonJarl]

All the people asking what nikana this is when he says it 0:01 right here 😅 SYAM. ITS SYAM FROM DUVIRI IN TESHINS CAVE. 😂

[throchannel]

is shock trooper unavoidable for this? trying to copy as much as i can but for now it doesn't perform nearly as well

[jasonlanger]

i feel like the ban hammer is near :x but i hope this one stays untder the radar <3 good video <3

[Gravesyte]

Somebody at DE right now hol up is this melee not requiring LoS nah we have to change that lol, but good vid i only used the Syam with my Kullevro back then

[robsquare]

Yo try using melee vortex with gas melee its no where near as cracked as influence but its fun. Requires Magnetic and viral sources (eg diriga and nourish).

[TheElsematter]

Mmm maybe a warframe like gyre o event volt that speeds the velocity of attacks works perfectly with this, I'm gonna to work on it tomorrow, wisp to with the electric of his first could help?

[YeonwooWitch]

Ive been using this build recently... well lets just say
saryn is my most played frame again..xD

[gracefulhunter]

I remember i was so excited for this weapon that i bought it for plat, however gimmick gets old really fast. Started feeling like a Xoris with less aoe
Going for a combo + tennokai build might be interesting (Haven't tested)

[maximumplayer]

Falcor has great base status chance and its very good with melee inf and i did 200 kpm with falcor on lua conc survival with just revenant :D

[mouchardl]

Syam projectile multiplies base damage with condition overload you might have better kpm by putting primed pressure point in

[RehtowayS]

unfortunately like most build content from now until the status revamp is potentially void until tested after update

[AmeliaRomanov]

That isnt the highest range nikana that solely belongs to azothane with its 3.2m base range

[dansherman]

Hmmm.. I just used it for the MR9 test then put it away.
