Notes[]

  • Chromatic Blade colour selection works the same way as ChromaIcon272 Chroma's passive.
    • White, grey, black, and some faded colors make DmgColdSmall64 Cold.
    • Blue and purple hues make DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity.
    • Red, magenta, brown, orange and bright yellow hues make DmgFireSmall64 Heat.
    • Green, lime, teal and dark yellow hues make DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin.
    • Purchasing color palettes is not required to unlock the all the elemental options.
    • While customizing Excalibur's emission color, Chromatic Blade's active element is indicated by an icon (DmgFireSmall64 Heat, DmgElectricitySmall64 Electricity, DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin, DmgColdSmall64 Cold). This imgur album can serve as a reference for future color palette purchases.
    • Customizing the secondary emission and the energy colors will have no effect.
  • Chromatic Blade's elemental damage replaces the innate physical elements and will combine other any elemental damage modded on ExaltedBladeWeapon Exalted Blade.
  • The status chance bonus is additive with other status chance mods and is affected by Ability Strength.
    • For example, using a maxed Mod TT 20px Intensify, Mod TT 20px Drifting Contact, and Chromatic Blade results in:
      Total Status Chance = Base status chance × [1 + (Chromatic Blade Bonus × (1 + Strength Mods) × 2) + Status Mods]
      = 0.15 × [1 + (Mod TT 20px 3 × Mod TT 20px 1.3) + Mod TT 20px 0.4] = 79.5%
    • To achieve 100% status chance without any status chance mods, total Ability Strength must be no less than 189%.
  • Physical damage mods will no longer affect Exalted Blade's damage with Chromatic Blade equipped.

Bugs[]

  • Chromatic Blade's bonus is double the listed amount, i.e. at 100% Ability Strength it gives +600% status chance instead of only +300%.

Tips[]

  • Although Chromatic Blade removes all Physical Damage, it is still possible to inflict DmgImpactSmall64 Impact procs through the Cutting Poise combo of Exalted Blade's stance.
  • Due to the large status chance boost this augment gives, it pairs well with Mod TT 20px Condition Overload. Furthermore, players can forgo dual status-elemental mods, such as Mod TT 20px Volcanic Edge, and use mods that only increase Elemental Damage, like Mod TT 20px Molten Impact, to further increase Exalted Blade's total damage.
  • The status chance boost also simplifies creating a Crit-Status hybrid build as status chance mods are no longer necessary.
