Info

  • Hildryn expends EnergyOrb50 shields or overshields to equip her Exalted Weapon energy rocket launcher sidearm, the BalefireCharger Balefire Charger. The Balefire Charger consumes EnergyOrb100 shields or overshields to fire an energy bolt which explodes on impact with enemies and surfaces.
    • Balefire Charger will ragdoll enemies if Hildryn has overshield.
    • Activation shield cost and shield cost per shot are affected by Ability Efficiency.
  • Balefire Charger has its own unique statistics:
  • While AegisStorm130xWhite Aegis Storm is active, a second Balefire Charger will be equipped on Hildryn's left arm when using this ability. This is a purely cosmetic effect, and does not provide any tangible combat advantages.
  • Balefire Charger can be used while riding a K-Drive by activating the ability before mounting the K-Drive and then switching to the secondary weapon as usual.
