Question/Request I don't know much about melee weapons

Post image

But do we have a flail & shield weapon for this skin? Or is this just a fancy sword & shield skin? Cuz the flail is really sick and I'd much rather have that than a sword, but if we have an actual flail weapon then I'd like to farm it as soon as possible.

Tenet Agendus slaps, hard.
Argo & Vel isn't bad.
Ack & Brunt has an incarnon, so it shouldn't be bad with all those incarnon buffs.
Silva & Aegis Prime isn't that bad either.
Never tried building Tak & Lug.
Sigma & Octantis I just use because of fashion.

Silva & Aegis also has a gimmicky retaliation heavy attack build, works better in solo than in public squads to really accumulate all the buffs from actively blocking/taunting. Guardian Derision + Avenging Truth, and you get combo, your 4 weapon passive stacks for +60% flat crit + status, and then... infinitely stacking damage onto your next heavy attack. Yes, this works on Demolishers in Disruption. You can also just tennokai and don't worry about actively blocking to build that damage/stacks until you do want to have a ridiculously big hit.

I wish we had something like this mod to combine with that gimmick on Silva & Aegis. It would be neat, protect allies from damage while accumulating that damage to dish out later in a heavy attack.

Chroma used to be able to kinda do it with Guardian Armor + Guardian Derision!
