CEPHALON FIELD GUIDE

How to play this build.

Tenno. Dex Nikana holds a permanent eleven-combo heavy multiplier with just Galvanized Reflex and Corrupt Charge, no other combo upkeep. That makes every heavy an 11x-multiplied crit sweep.

The mods

Galvanized Reflex plus Corrupt Charge give the permanent eleven combo; Killing Blow plus Primed Pressure Point are heavy damage; Sacrificial Steel plus Amalgam Organ Shatter are heavy crit; Melee Elementalist multiplies status.

Killing Blow is flexible for Primed Smite for maximum DPS.

Where it struggles

Heavy wind-up.

Long reach helps but the swing is slow.

Who runs this

Players who want a set-and-forget heavy nikana.
