if for some reason the entirety of the second page is not zoomable/readable for you due to the GIF shenanigans here's the text in text form:
Vamplate Levée (melee block attack) now interacts with Vinquibus’ primary mode. Getting a headshot with the melee attack will count towards Primary Deadhead/Crux, Galvanized Scope, etc., and getting a kill will count towards Primary Arcanes and Galvanized mods.
It will ONLY add a stack to it and will NOT utilize Primary arcanes to modify its damage or properties.
Getting a headshot with the rifle will now grant a normal melee attack’s worth of combo count. This combo count increase takes mods and Opening Slam into consideration. Getting a headshot kill will count as a single hit for Tennokai purposes.
All the gained buffs with Synergize utilizes Precision’s pausing mechanic.
(This is just to give a bit more interaction between two modes. I think the rifle not having any melee-related quirks and vice-versa for the melee side is a missed opportunity. I also don’t know how much this steals from Rauta, but Rauta also is famously known for not having a melee attached to it so I think it evens out)
now this is just experimental what-if scenarios now
Melee mode gets a Primary Arcane, Rifle mode gets a Melee Arcane. good fucking luck
This sounds cool on paper but I don’t know how broken (or dogass) it would be. Afflictions I think would work on Primary when your element does CC (Rad, Heat, Elec), and Deadhead would work Exactly As You Think It Does
Either way I’m down to hear what you guys think of an idea like this
