Build that can utilise the Chainsword?

[Koibra]

The weapon is so cool but the ability just seems so odd to use with a normal sword build - it kind of has anti-synergy with flurry/onslaught shenanigans. Is there any way you can build around using this weapon or is just kind of doo-doo in general?

[Makfar]

its a great weapon in the fact that it ignores Damage resistance and Threshold, the damage is somewhat low so it relys on being a crit sword. pairing it with the claymore is a build in itself i called chainmore. you sweep and then high armor targets get the chainsword through the chest. you can keep it at low charge if you don't want to spend too many action points on the chain and visa versa. https://underrail.info/build/?HhAHBwQDAwYAWgDCoCgAAF1OWAB1eTRdbwAAAAAAwqBNJCZEwowGE8KLPMKNRUtCwoFOwrZ8MeKmuAPip4IC4rKIBeKykgXfvg

Does using this weapon together with Expose Weaknes result in ignoring 100% DT/DR?

[Makfar]

no, machetes innately suffer from 125% penalty for armor making it basically 25% more then usual. then expose weakness cuts that armor in half and then chainsword will work off half of that
 ends up work out at 30% of the current targets mech max resistance
