pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Impact. Adaptive(58) Arc Sword Heavy Ammo. "Oh fun, a new adaptive frame sword. How many of these does it make? Too many. Bungie, please give us class agnostic lightweight and heavy swords. I promise Hunter’s want to run around with gorilla swords and Titans want ninja-mode. Warlocks just want more books swords too. I digress, over to the recommendations. Relentless Strikes for PvE is just bread and butter. Whirlwind Blade is the bread to Relentless Strikes’ butter. It’s a tale as old as Vanilla. However, Valiant Charge is incredibly fun in my testing and speed-runners or strike speed-runners might find some good use for this."

What these Nasreddin perks do

Relentless Strikes

Scoring 3 Powered Hits within 2? seconds of each refunds 1 ammo. Wolfpack Round Hits do not count.

Valiant Charge

Taking any damage while Guarding increases Lunge Distance by 80% for the next swing within 1 second. Guarding while receiving Healing Effects (including healing over time from Restoration) from allies also activates the perk.

Whirlwind Blade

Powered Sword Hits grant 3% increased damage for 3.5 seconds. Stacks 10 times for a 30% Buff. Stowing the weapon or Blocking removes all stacks. Wolfpack Round Hits also count as Powered Sword Hits.

Surrounded

Being within 15 meters of 3 Enemies grants 40% increased damage. Buff lingers for 1.5 seconds once the condition is no longer met. Exceptions: • Swords only receive a 35% damage increase. • Grenade and Rocket Launchers receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase and a 40% Impact Damage increase. • Wolfpack Rounds receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase.

Energy Transfer

Every point of damage taken while Guarding grants Class Ability Energy: • 1.5% when Melee Damage is Blocked • 1% when non-Melee Damage is Blocked • 0.5% when damage isn't Blocked (getting hit from behind) Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar.
