Just finished building the Hespar and slapped a build from Overframe on it… I didn’t use to have a favorite melee weapon beyond what looked nicest strapped to my hip. I didn’t really use melee much. Hespar w Galeforce Down is now my favorite. Love the wide swings and quick forward advance letting me carve through hordes with minimal effort.
Might just have to put together a loadout using all my favorite things now since there’s enough to fill all slots.
So I got Hespar this week on Archimedea, and I heard that Melee Afflictions works on any heavies with forced knockdowns. Normally the Hespar only provides a 2x slash modifier, but Afflictions adds an extra 6 stacks and pushes that to a 14x multiplier. It’s pretty juicy!
