Acquisition[]

  • This mod can be acquired by attaining the rank of Flawless under New Loka, or the rank of Maxim under the Arbiters of Hexis, and spending ReputationLarge 25,000 to purchase.
  • This mod can periodically be acquired from The Circuit.

Notes[]

  • The status chance increase granted by this augment is affected by Ability Strength and additive with any other status chance mods.
    • For example, using a maxed Mod TT 20px Intensify, Mod TT 20px Drifting Contact, and Reactive Storm results in:
      Base status chance × [1 + (Reactive Storm Bonus × (1 + Strength Mods)) + Status Mods] = 0.15 × [1 + (2.5 × 1.3) + 0.4] = 69.7% status chance
    • To achieve 100% status chance without any status chance mods, Ability Strength must be at least 227%.
  • Only the base DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage is altered to match as enemies weakest damage type.
    • If damage becomes a primary element, it will combine with other modded primary elements.
    • DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage mods no longer have any effect after changing.
  • To adapt damage types, Baruuk can strike with both his fists/feet at close range or DesertWind Desert Wind's long-range waves.
    • Once set (by the last enemy struck by fists), the new damage type will affect the waves.
    • Damage type will reset to DmgImpactSmall64 Impact when SereneStorm130xWhite Serene Storm deactivates.
  • Damage may become any type, but due to the known health, armor, and shield types, it cannot become DmgTrueSmall64 True, DmgVoidSmall64 Void or DmgColdSmall64 Cold damage, turn back to DmgImpactSmall64 Impact, or naturally become DmgFireSmall64 Heat or DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture without Arcanes.
    • In cases where damage types are tied, it will prioritize physical types first, then primary elements, and secondary elements last.
    • The "Enemy Weakness" will prioritize Shield weaknesses first if there are shields, then Armor, then Health when there are no shields or armor.
      • For example: In special cases like the Oxium Osprey where health types Ferrite Armor and Robotic share a weakness (DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture in this case), they multiply (1.5x × 1.25x = 1.875x). So while DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture is actually the best damage type, the damage will become DmgCorrosiveSmall64 Corrosive instead because it deals the most damage on Ferrite Armor (1.75x).
  • Damage Resistance reduction by MagusAccelerant Magus Accelerant, MagusDestruct Magus Destruct or Petrify130xWhite Petrify will influence the new damage type, even if armor is present.
  • Damage type does not change in response to Sentient damage adaptation. It will adapt as normal to a Sentient's weaknesses, but will not change if the Sentient adapts.
  • Damage remains DmgImpactSmall64 Impact as when adapting to an enemy without any health type, or while Overguard is present.

Tips[]

  • Due to the large status chance boost this augment gives, it pairs well with Mod TT 20px Condition Overload, but this damage increase only affects the normal melee attacks, not the waves. 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 Desert Wind's total damage.
  • The status chance boost also simplifies creating a Crit-Status hybrid build as status chance mods are no longer necessary.

Patch History[]

Hotfix 31.1.5 (2022-02-17)

Hotfix 27.2.2 (2020-03-06)

  • Increased the base Status Chance of Desert Wind to 15% (from 10%), while also changing the Reactive Storm Augment to stack in the same manner other Status Mods do. This was missed in the Status changes but is a necessary change now. The following reflects the new Maximum:
    • Reactive Storm 35% to 250% Status Chance

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

  • Baruuk’s Reactive Storm Augment Mod will now also apply its Status Chance and damage type matching to enemy weakness on Serene Storm’s AOE attacks.
    • Previously the Augment was only applying to close-combat attacks - we decided to extend this to Serene Storm’s AOE waves to give more flexibility to the Augment’s use. We'll be monitoring the change as you play and test it for any potential adjustments.

Hotfix 27.1.0.1 (2020-02-04)

  • Fixed Baruuk's Reactive Storm Augment resetting the Status Chance back to non-Augmented values after a direct punch to someone.

Update 27.1 (2020-02-04)

  • Introduced.

Last updated: Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)
