Realistically the entirety of the Chaos Accelerant aspect needs a rework. It somehow manages to be the least effective of all of the Grenade buffing aspects while also somehow having so many drawback and penalties topped off with only one fragment slot. Every single option available for Chaos accelerant should be a MASSIVE power boost given all of this. Instead: 1: vortex is barely an improvement and which realistically doesn’t ever really end up outperforming its uncharged version anyways. The charged variant at least used to deal more damage but that’s no longer a thing. 2: Axion is an improvement, but hardly and improvement enough at least in PvE. 3: Scatter being charged is an outright nerf to the grenade. 4: Handheld Supernova is a shell of its former self and not worth the use at all, especially when it’s better in any situation to use a regular magnetic ‘nade anyways. I’m not gonna sit here and pretend I know how to code or design and balance a game, but anyone with half a brain could see what a waste of an aspect this is. Why in the world would anyone take it over child (even with the problems it has) or Devour (even though you can literally get it almost as easily using a fragment). Only reason I could see is a mild buff to DR while charging with the use of Contraverse Hold. Honestly in my opinion, the whole of Warlock, especially Voidwalker, is beyond bland af and massively underpowered. It lacks any flavor, spice, or oomf. Nothing special to it. Not even an aura for its own class buff (devour), when the other two void subclasses got cool aura glows for their own buffs. Bland. Af.

Would it work if it was similar to the titan charged melee on Arc??

I don’t mind it being reverted back to being a ohk without an exotic. Just make the cone smaller (not that I mind the original cone)

Trying to compare landing a headshot with weighted throwing knife to a 1 hit shoulder charge with peregrines or throwing a grenade that has to just land somewhere near the player for a 1 hit is laughable, I’ve barely ever used weighted throwing knife but it is exponentially more difficult than either of those options. Peregrine functionality should be removed from crucible or require some actual prerequisite other than being airborne (which is how titan movement works anyway) to effectively land 1 hit melees.

No it shouldn’t

A OHK Melee back ??? Don't be ridiculous that's for Hunters and Titans only 👌

I'd rather see added utility for HHSN. I just don't think there's a good balance for a OHK HHSN where it feels good to use and it feels fair to be killed by I've been an advocate for adding the lesser suppression effect to it, like is on Bombardiers, and a stronger pushback effect. It would let it be a good tool for either stopping an aggressor or getting some cheeky environmental kills

Yup, they lied when they said that they wanted less one hit kills in PVP. I also never see HHSN in PVE content.

But the uncharged handheld already 1 shots with an exotic. AKA magnetic grenade with verity's brow after 1 void weapon kill.

Honestly id like to see a boost to its push ability. Having mained controverse for multiple seasons it was cheesy and downright unfair before, and now it has been buffed back up again slightly it would be over the line. I really want to see it buffed again in pve. Seeing it do ridiculous damage would lean into it being a ‘supernova’ without being too broken.

Maybe that's what nothing manacles should do for the hand held instead?
