Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. I have a crit Zaw nikana that one shots things up to level 70 at the moment (without any combo meter for bloodrush I might add). The umbra slots don't really matter since bloodrush is stronger than even sacrificial steel when stacked. Nikana Prime does seem to do a little more in everything minus puncture and impact damage, but the Skiajati has those Umbra mods that do a little extra damage all together as well with that mod set. get a Prisma skana, toss in bright Purity on top of a half decent riven and just build for heavy dmg.

The Umbral polarities also help a lot with some builds. One-hand Sepfahn Zaws are limited by their lower total crit and status for builds, but have nice utility in Arcanes.

Nikana Prime has more build flexibility. I don't know about this one.

The game is currently in open beta on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Skiajati is competitive if you don't have Primed Reach and you enjoy a bit more speed.

the numbers speak for themselves. Or the 220% associated with the sacrificial mod set. Use https://rwarframe.github.io/#flair to set user flair and text. Would you mind sharing me your zaw and mod build? By using our Services or clicking I agree, you agree to our use of cookies. zaw nikana = exodia's (espcially the energy on heavy kills, and nikanas have very good heavy attacks), also, rivens may make the skiajati and zaw-kana stronger then a rivenless nikana p, personally, i'd go with zaw-kana, since heavy attack spam + massive free energy is worth way more then the damage increase of nikana p, I was thinking the 50% chance of 200% extra damage exodia for the zaw-kana cuz, like, I think it would be great, New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast.

Once we get that sweet 100%+ crit chance buff? Skiajati is competitive if you don't have Primed Reach and you enjoy a bit more speed. Nikana Prime is pretty much just better than the Skiajati. Skiajati is a permament weapon bro, so you're stuck with it no matter what. both have 28% status chance. Press J to jump to the feed.

Justify? © Valve Corporation. I removed the umbral polarities as they interfered with my build.

it's 28% crit with 2,4 multiplier on the nikana against 15% with 1.8 multipier on the skiajati.

Personally I would go for the Nikana Prime with Blind Justice stance right now.

Both are ♥♥♥♥ now. Amalgam Daikyu mod gives you life steal on Nikana... depends on your build if you want that or not though.

skiajati has the stealth gimmick but thats it, nikana is WAY stronger right now. I would personally stick with the Skiajati since it has the umbral polarities plus the major sacrificial mod buffs in the last update. skiajati has higher dispo and faster they are pretty much the same anyway so play whichever you like the most Well, I doubt that somebody who doesnt own the nikana prime by now got a riven for the skiajati (escpecially a well rolled one) and the attackspeed is 0.09 higher which is barely noticable, especially when you run berserker anyway (which you definetly should ^^).

I'm quite interested.

A few things to keep in mind. Crit is the most important melee stat right now after the CO nerf.

This is even before I get the sacrificial steel buff on console.

All rights reserved. High crit, good status and fast. One-hand Sepfahn Zaws are limited by their lower total crit and status for builds, but have nice utility in Arcanes. Skiajati also cloaks you on finisher attacks, so if you have a way to reliably chain finishers, it could be worth running just for the stealth alone. The thing about the Skiajati being able to use Umbral mods is that it doesn't even benefit much from using them.
