I knew about this fix when it was in the patch notes, and I'm still using the dagger. It does not take long to get a hundred kills with a good primary like the torrid. And even if you don't do any other bonuses, having a constant 8X multiplier on your melee weapon is still really really good. I expected it to be fixed, seeing how the arcane always said with primary kills.
With covert lethality, the other combo mod, and a combo riven you can hit 100 initial. I have this and it is great your always at 6x so I just pop it for 120 secs of extra sprint and parkour
Personally I use a kitgun for Mesa's secondary, which allows me to utilize Pax Bolt alongside Outburst for more DPS. Still love that there actually is a video now explaining this for others.
I wasnt aware that the combo counter was used for Secondary Outburst. I was sat here thinking "Well why the fuck does melee combo counter matter on a frame that you dont want to be using your melee weapon??". Now it makes sense.
@@satoutatsuhiro866 Okay so put it this way then... why ever use a melee on a frame that doesnt buff it at all instead of just using her Peacemakers which are far superior in every which way. Sure, use the dagger and arcane to buff the peacemakers, but you dont USE them. Playing her for anything besides Peacemakers is just shooting yourself in the foot.
@@cyanide7270 "why use a melee" There is no melee that does not "buff" the user. Melees open up many options like a movespeed buff or the ability to slamattack for faster travel. In modern warframe noone is going without a melee anyways so I was more thinking of "old school warframe" where people seriously considerd it before deciding its still "barely" not worth it.
@@cyanide7270 Mesa has 4 abilities not just 1. You can make a build without her 4 and be "optimal" Mesa 4 is by far not the strongest gun in the game.

(Bosses, void sabotage...,nullies) "Playing her for anything besides Peacemaker is "bad" " Who are you mortal. Brave enough to question Mesa superiority! Mesa will bring down Justice, may it be "Peaceful" or not.
@@satoutatsuhiro866 Using a melee for buffing or movement purposes is a moot point as that is not at all what i was talking about or meant by "why use a melee", so is irrelevant. Mesa DOES have 4 abilities, but is again a moot point, as her 1 is utter garbage and makes so little impact on anything you can do with her, Shooting Gallerys damage bonus again doesnt add too much t o the damage you deal, is just another little extra, and Shattershield provides an okay damage reduction, but wont provide too much survival in anything past base Steel Path. So yes, Peacemakers pretty much are her only good ability ,especially when built correct and using a good primer companion. As for having a build be "viable" without using her 4, you can say the same for literally any frame because at that point your viability comes from whatever weapons youve got equipped, so is once again, a moot point to make. However doing so without taking her abilities into consideration means youre relying SOLELY on said equipped gear, and is sub optimal going into higher Steel Path, unlike if you WERE to go with her Peacemakers which CAN take you into at least mid level level cap runs (Cant say for much further, i get bored as fuck trying to run those). So, yes, "playing her for anything besides Peacemaker is bad" because building her into a weapons platform without using her best weapons, which is quite literally the only thing you COULD do, is bad.
Zephyr's airbust also works for the finisher, wouldnt subsume for other warframes but if you play zephyr and go for example void cascade where you want madurai its worth having airburst + the augment airburst round increases secondary damage for some time but its kind of a hassle to reproc
The way I get finishers on Frost is to just cold proc + void sling. If you can apply even 1 or 2 cold procs you'll have an easy time getting finishers this way.
Had me worried lmao. I’ve always used the built in heat on burston incarnon to stack gun and blade/orange secondary cc shards on Mesa. Takes a couple minutes max for full stacks
I didn’t know it got nerfed, I just been using different melee weapons like Ripkas, Venka Prime, Blade and Whip weapons like Jat Kusar, and Masseter Prime.
@@Shellnanigans impact to slash sucks and is not unque to furax incarnon. and blast changes also effect every weapon not just furax Is the explosion actually good? Like does ist have good range and damage?

with the corrosive rework all of my decent builds were essentially nerfed...For awhile all my builds were for fast 100% armor strip so now that the armor strip isn't as important and needing additional health strip everything needs to be remodded. Everything Padlo does is a nerf (except hydroid) eclipse nourish etc... But it gives us something to do I guess, I maybe exaggerating but I kinda feel that way.
I'm interested in checking out that lvl cap. I need to fix my Mesa build bc it's pretty annoying after level 300 maybe, but I think I realized my problem just last night- Her 4 doesn't seem to shield gate, so with my usual glass cannon build style (one Auger mod) my shield is already popped before, or right after, I press 4. Is that intended or a bug? I can't remember if her 4 actually had initial ability cost or if that's new. I pretty much only use Mesa for ez circuit or farming duplicate Tenet weapons.
@@GazTTV it is not need to be honest but sometimes I come across a horde of more than 5 enemies and putting all of them asleep make it easier/safer to do a setup like this. A normal run and gun setup would not need it at all as you will eliminate all of them anyways
I have a 400% strength pillage build on my mesa which seems to work very well for the content i do. However it does kind of rely on zenurik to work. I guess that forces me to use the bronco method. One question about the topaz shards: isnt it kind of a waste since its additive to other crit chance modifiers (unlike arance avenger)?
Players who knows the game never played Ceramic Dagger, or at least knew it was not as good as Furax. TBH Ceramic Dagger was only good if you wanted to burst fast missions, missions where you wouldn't want to stay too long. Otherwise, Furax has always been better. But even in short mission, it's so quick with a ful Cresendo that it's worth it. I think people use Dagger because they don't have a max crescendo.
I am really sad about those changes. I started to like the "ranged melee" for the gunslinger warframe. It wasn t even better than furax ffs It was just convenience in short missions. I hate changes like that since people now run a 220combo build instead of a 100+something build.
@@BloodyDIMISIS55 its not necessary but a riven can be a nice stat stick to just give a bit more than a normal mod, but it is much more expensive. We both didn't mention it is necessary, he wanted to buy it but the price is still quite high for the riven which would make it rise even higher

Still a decent weapon, I used to pair it with the Torid since you can get 100 kills with that in moments and keep up the 6x minimum combo 💪

No wonder I wasn't seeing people asking for rivens

It still is, for khora and atlas
Its not great but the ivara augment grants status immunity, which might be needed when stationary. Its not protecting from daamge though :(
