Info

• Gyre expends 75 energy as she surges a potent electric current through herself as Gyral Blocks envelop her forearms. Cathode Grace grants Gyre a 25% / 30% / 40% / 50% Critical Chance bonus to her weapons and abilities, as she constantly recharges 1 / 1.15 / 1.3 / 1.5 Energy points per second, lasting for an initial duration of 8 seconds. For each enemy killed directly by Gyre, or killed by any source while affected by a Status Effect inflicted by Gyre, Cathode Grace's remaining duration is extended by 3 seconds, up to a maximum duration capped at 60 seconds. In addition to the energy cost requirement, casting the ability triggers a 60 seconds cooldown before the next activation is allowed.
  • Casting Cathode Grace is a full-body animation that interrupts Gyre's grounded movement and other actions.
  • Cannot be recast while active or on cooldown.
  • Critical Chance bonus for weapons is additive to the bonus from mods such as  Point Strike,  Pistol Gambit, and  True Steel.
  • Critical Chance bonus for Gyre's abilities is a percentage point increase.
    • Bonus is additive to Gyre's passive.
• Casting an ability will stop the energy regeneration for 1 second.
  • Cathode Grace's remaining duration is shown on the ability icon. Once duration elapses, the remaining cooldown timer replaces the duration timer on the ability icon.
  • The ability's cooldown starts immediately when Cathode Grace's duration timer begins to count down.
  • Audible cues play when Cathode Grace's duration ends, and when its cooldown is complete.
  • Kills made while manning a Railjack turret, be it with direct fire or abilities such as  Shatter Burst, also extend Cathode Grace duration.
  • When the ability is cancelled (falling out of bounds) it takes the highest duration it gained from kills/assists and subtracts it from the Cooldown. Example: You reached 59 seconds on the ability icon and later on you fall out of bounds with 20 seconds on  Cathode Grace's timer,  Cathode Grace subtracts 59 seconds from the cooldown instead of the 20 seconds and your  Cathode Grace will have no cooldown.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Gyre's passive and Cathode Grace enable ability critical hits by granting 0% to 300% critical chance to damage and status effects dealt by  Arcsphere,  Coil Horizon, and  Rotorswell.
  • Direct kills by Gyre's abilities, their  Electricity status effects, and kill assists from allies extend Cathode Grace's duration.
• Gyre visually bows gracefully with hand gestures as hundreds of Gyral Blocks detach from her coil gown, electromagnetically levitating into the air. Gyre finishes her bow, culminating in a powerful posture that attracts and concentrates all Gyral Blocks to encircle her forearms in two spherical clusters. The Gyral Blocks rhythmically pulse in a wave-like pattern, while Gyre's body is enveloped in electricity.

Tips & Tricks

• • As Gyre already generates her own Energy while Cathode Grace is active, she can forego of, or even sacrifice, Ability Efficiency stats in exchange for amplifying other stats, such as increased Duration with  Constitution or firepower such as by equipping  Blind Rage.
  • As Cathode Grace has a rather long animation time, Gyre is vulnerable while activating the ability. Equipping  Quick Thinking not only gives her a safeguard, it also can make her tankier by expending energy to prevent lethal damage - which she can quickly replenish by constantly attacking and keeping Cathode Grace up.
  • This ability's energy regeneration is paused during channeled abilities, such as Gloom (while affecting enemies) added via the Helminth system,
