Hi. I recently discovered gunblades for me and I’m wondering which can perform better in certain situations. And also want to know about builds. Hybrid and heavy attack focused. Which performs better etc

    well there arent too many, Redeemer Prime and Stropha are good - I used to have a good Sarpa Riven and the Sarpa was quite nutty at one point. Not sure how it is anymore. Special mention to the Corufell, not technically in the gunblade category, its a gun-scythe? Fun to use

    Stropha for me. Not only does it look cool as hell, there’s a build for it that have been shown by Warframe YouTubers that allows for INSANE damage with the charged attack. I’d suggest you look it up. I’m at work right now so I can’t really find the video at the moment.

    • Redeemer (prime): best when there is some multishot dmg calculation sheaningans (ex.: Lephantis).

    • Stropha: for big groups of enemies given its wide projectile hitbox.

    • Sarpa: shattering impact allows to remove all the armor in very few shots.

      Thanks. But wouldn’t vastilok be better for shattering impact? It fires 9 bullets, when sarpa only 5. Also what about stances. I heard that high noon is better for hybrid builds. Is that right?

    Stropha offers highest potential damage from all gunblades. Corufell is best AoE but technically speaking is not a standard Gunblade but Heavy Scyphe + Gunblade Hybrid (similar to Wolf Sledge - Hammer + Glaive). Redeemer Prime is honestly pretty close to Stropha in damage, but works more like classic shotgun and has more status. Vastilok is still a strong weapon but lacks compared to other gunblades, but is commonly used as an Armor-Strip Primer instead of Heavy Attack monster thanks to Shattering Impact mod.
