pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Impact. Vortex Frame(20) Strand Sword Heavy Ammo. "Thin Precipice is much more of a multi kill weapon, but falls off because it’s a sword. If swords were more utilized in content it could be really fun with Chain Reaction for explosions, or your choice of Golden Tricorn or Collective Action for some really solid damage. You could potentially set up Thin Precipice for huge damage with surge mods and two stacks of Golden Tricorn to melt champions or even bosses. It’s niche and would require more set up than your average boss killing weapon, but it would be crazy to see/"

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Impact. Vortex Frame(20) Strand Sword Heavy Ammo. "It’s going to be a similar story to Just In Case for PvP. Unfortunately you have to make a choice this time. Either Valiant Charge or Tireless Blade. Personally I think Tireless is the best choice but I know people like harnessing their inner Sanic. Chain Reaction could potentially net you some double kills. Zoom in, get a double or more? I can see the montage now."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 61 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XT0gPkoVSh3cM6gMtSupq?si=18db495353ca49ad) with @ImpetusAlways, @Saint_Kabr and @CourtProjects. First-choice PvE pick for burst damage to Majors in end-game content. Shapeable. Thin Precipice is the first Strand sword, and is the fan-favourite vortex (spin-to-win) frame to boot. As with all swords, Jagged Edge is the usual choice for the blade for its increased damage and Swordmaster's Guard to reduce the time it takes for your heavy attack to charge, although you might want to look at Burst Guard or Heavy Guard to help tank damage. Against a Major that's just about to stomp, bring up your block to us Flash Counter in the first trait column as the support park, to suppress and weaken them for 4s, and then you'll have a couple of seconds with a 50% damage bonus for your heavy spin attack, with Counterattack in the second column as the signature perk. Recommended MW: Impact, with a damage-boosting (Major or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-MajorSpec, PvE-God, PvE-EndGame, M+KB, Controller

First-choice PvE pick for Minor add-clearing in end-game content. Shapeable. Thin Precipice is the first Strand sword, and is the fan-favourite vortex (spin-to-win) frame to boot. As with all swords, Jagged Edge is the usual choice for the blade for its increased damage. To pair with your traits, you'll want to go with heavy guard, mainly to slow your charge time. The play here is to use unpowered heavy attacks, which do a bit less damage but only cost 1 ammo, to proc Tireless Blade in the first trait column as the support perk and refund ammo for every other kill - if you're lucky you can return more ammo than you use. In the second column as the signature perk, Golden Tricorn's first stack will easily make up the reduced damage after the first kill, or Chain Reaction's AoE damage should mean you can wade into crowds of adds, while never running out of ammo.
