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 25,000 Standing 25,000 to purchase.

Notes

• The status chance increase granted by this augment is additive and is affected by Ability Strength.
  • For example, using a maxed  Intensify,  Drifting Contact, and Reactive Storm results in:
    (Base status chance + Reactive Storm Bonus × (1 + Strength Mods)) × (1 + Status Mods) = (0.1 + (0.35 × 1.3)) × 1.4 = 77.7% status chance
  • To achieve 100% status chance without any status chance mods, Ability Strength must be at least 269%.
• Only the base damage is altered to match as enemies weakest damage type.
  • If damage becomes a primary element, it will combine with other modded primary elements.
  • damage mods no longer have any effect after changing.
• To adapt damage types, Baruuk must strike with his fists/feet at close range. Desert Wind's long-range waves will not set the damage.
  • Once set (by the last enemy struck by fists), the new damage type will affect the waves.
  • Damage type will reset to when  Serene Storm deactivates.
• Damage may become any type, but due to the known health, armor, and shield types, it cannot become , or damage, turn back to , or naturally become  or without Arcanes.
  • In cases where damage types are tied, it will prioritize physical types first, then primary elements, and secondary elements last.
    • This only naturally occurs for Flesh where damage becomes , and Infested Flesh where damage becomes .
  • 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 ( in this case), they multiply (1.5x × 1.25x = 1.875x). So while is actually the best damage type, the damage will become instead because it deals the most damage on Ferrite Armor (1.75x).
• Damage Resistance reduction by  Magus Accelerant,  Magus Destruct or  Petrify will influence the new damage type, even if armor is present.
• Damage remains as when adapting to an enemy without any health type, such as Councilor Vay Hek without armor.

Tips

• Due to the large status chance boost this augment gives, it pairs well with  Condition Overload. Furthermore, players can forgo dual status-elemental mods, such as  Volcanic Edge, and use mods that only increase Elemental Damage, like  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.
