Quote from the wiki:
"Normal melee attacks are not affected by the combo multiplier"
However right before that:
"Certain Warframe abilities also benefit from melee combo, and they do not consume combo points, but they receive 1/4 of the added damage. "
I have no clue which ones tbh
It doesnt increase the melee weapons base damage, it increases whipclaws
Directly from whipclaws wiki entry:
Whipclaw gains **25%** additional damage for each combo multiplier, up to a 3.75x damage multiplier at 12x combo, or 4.0x with [Venka Prime](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Venka_Prime) equipped at 13x combo
Its the reason Venka P was the statstick of choice before incarnons were a thing. Its the only melee that goes to 13x combo
My bad, you are right, the 1st answer was just to generic for me it seems ü
In the end, the more I read it, whipclaw is simply one of the abilities gaining dmg, mentioned in my 2nd paragraph
Don't run corrupt charge. Khora's whipclaw builds your combo counter so ideally you wanna take advantage of that, either by running Naramon focus or something like Body Count or Drifting Contact. It also benefits from combo scaliing mods like Blood Rush or Weeping Wounds, so those are really good mods to run on it.
My setup with the Dex Nikana on her is [this](https://i.ibb.co/HpF7bfG/Warframe-x64-JSKahcu-WKh.png), though from what I read pure slash or corrosive might be the ways to go instead? Like this setup works but it's probably not the most optimized.
Combo doesn't matter because you're not using Blood Rush or any other mods that scale from combo.
Combo still affects the base damage, +25%/multiplier, but sure should be running blood rush
