Halikar Wraith

A different take on the throwing mace, the Halikar Wraith features unique styling. Built as a status melee / conditioner option for squad clear and mission pressure.

Signature

Halikar Wraith is not a signature weapon — any frame can use it without a signature passive.

• You want a Melee that fits a status melee / conditioner play pattern.
• Your loadout needs what Halikar Wraith does well — check Mission Usefulness below before investing Forma.

Permanent investments on this weapon copy — separate from the Prime variant.

• Orokin CatalystCapacity

  expect multiple Forma for a hungry config.

  Unlocks utility options (Exilus on guns; melee focuses on stance polarity + utility mods).

  Install when you need ammo, handling, or QoL without sacrificing damage slots.

• Melee Arcane AdapterArcane

  Lets you install a weapon arcane for a strong passive bonus.

  Worth it once the base mod config is already solid.

• Riven ModRiven

  Unique rolled mod. Disposition 1.2.

  Chase clean desirable stats; skip awkward negatives on low-disposition weapons.

• Weeping Wounds

  Status Chance

  Range

  Helps pack clear and heavy-attack coverage.

• Elemental dual-stats

  Elemental

  Viral + Heat or Corrosive + Heat depending on the tileset.

Multishot

Melee doesn’t use multishot — invest in range, combo, and attack speed instead.

Critical

Blood Rush + crit damage is the classic crit melee route when base crit is workable.

Elemental

Viral/Heat or Corrosive/Heat dual-stats after your damage and conditioner mods.

Fire Rate

Attack speed (Berserker Fury / Primed Fury) keeps combo stacks rising.
