even if Cronus and Skana have same charge dmg, Cronus have higher base dmg and rate, besides, it's quite cheap, and the materials are easy to get, so it would be wise to craft the Cronus however, i think.
Versatile is relative, all of the melee weapons have particular strengths and fit different playstyles. For instance my Ember build is using melee damage mods and a heat sword, making it a wonderful infestation blender. Alternatively, against Grineer i prefer my plasma sword because I can generally take out any of them with a charge attack. It's base charge attack damage is higher making all charge attack damage bonuses that much more powerful and I've stacked charge speed and charge damage mods. Some prefer blunt weapons like Furax and Fragor to handle just about everything and they too have their particular strengths.
after the cronus there are many more different options for melee weapons that are not so black/white in being better/worse, but they are more a matter of taste/playstyle like furax/bo/fragor/scindo/duals/daggers/etc
Hey new to this form and hopefully this reaches the right person who knows what they are doing i have a custom animation that i want to get on my cronus zen which is an OLED 128 64 SCREEN
Just a little backround what a cronus zen does is it digitally modifies your controller by loading .gpc scripts was wondering if it was even possible to get custom animated screens and i would pay someone who can get my custom animation on it thanks
