Acquisition

• This mod can be acquired by attaining the rank of General under the Steel Meridian, or the rank of Partner under the Perrin Sequence, and spending 25,000 Standing 25,000 to purchase.

Notes

• Explosion triggers on reactivating while Larva is active. Reactivation destroys Larva and does not cost energy.
• damage is affected by Ability Strength and diminishes with distance from Larva.
  • Explosion has a 100% chance to proc Status Effect.
  • Explosion and DoT damage are not affected by Mutation stacks, instead stacking based on the number of enemies grabbed by Larva.
    • Damage is calculated based on the number of enemies grabbed during the initial cast, meaning killing enemies caught in Larva will not reduce explosion and DoT damage.
  • Explosion damage is calculated using the following formula:

    Modified Damage = 300 × (1 + Strength Mods) × Number of Caught Enemies

• Explosion radius is affected by Ability Range.
• Grabbed enemies are briefly launched up in the air on Larva explosion.

Tips

• The augment can be used as a quick way to spam Larva.
  • Allows a duration build Nidus to be viable as the ability to spam Larva is no longer hindered by duration.
• Provides a quick way to deal with large amounts of enemies as the damage stacks with the amount of enemies grabbed by larva.
  • Also allows players to conserve energy as recasting doesn't cost energy.
    • On the other hand, players are unable to gain energy or Mutation stacks by killing enemies through recasting.
• Most effective versus the Corpus as ignores shields and does bonus to humanoid enemies. Fairly effective versus the Infested, although Ancient Disruptors will reduce the damage dealt, and Toxic Ancients will eliminate toxin damage from nearby Infested.

• When it was first announced, Larva Burst made Larva deal 300 damage and a guaranteed proc to enemies pulled in upon recasting.
