So I’ve recently started Amara and skilled into “Find Your Center”. Very soon after I saw that she always punches with her hand (and the sirens’ arms) for the time after her action skill, regardless of the weapon blades.
So my question is: Do the melee bonuses of the bladed gun add to her +100% melee damage from “Find Your Center”? Would be kind of useless to have this skill then, because you can find bladed guns that give more than +100% melee damage.
Thank you.
Yes they add additional, from what I understand.
The best way to test would be to just equip the weapon, hit a guy, then switch guns to a gun without a melee bonus, hit them again, look at the damage difference and see. Let us know!
I´m going to test this out as soon as I get home in a few hours.
I´ll keep you updated. Thank you

From my experience and a little bit of testing “+melee damage” all stacks as an additive bonus. There are a ton of sources to get this to some crazy levels but each 100% doesn’t double your melee dmg…
Example. If we get 100% bonus like from “find your center” then you have a 100% bonus total and will do double damage. Lets say you add a gun that give 120%. You now have 220% melee bonus total. you can get illuminated fists for another 75% bringing total to 295% and some easy class mods that will give you an additional point in illuminated fists to double its effect so that is 370%. Also Blitz is in there and I would assume its’s 100% adds to all the others?? You can get “anointed siren” mod on a shield or weapon and that gives you 200% more for a short time after skill activation, I think it is like 5 seconds or so but that all seems to add on top of total + to melee damage instead of being its own separate multiplier. You can easily get over 500% bonus to melee damage with these bonuses and hit pretty dang hard.
One last thing is that you can change your action skill element from fire to corrosive on the fly and that is an element… I am not 100% sure but I think the skill “tempest” is a separate multiplier on top of the melee bonuses. so you could have 500% * another 30% bonus from tempest for even more dmg. I hope to test some more but if you are going melee build it is definitely worth it to stack it everywhere you can. Get a dragon relic and then things will melt like crazy even more than normal hehe.
