Melee Attack Explanations
A "sweep attack" is an arcing melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the edge of the blade (the length of obround melee hitbox). A "thrust attack" is a melee strike that intends to hit an enemy with the tip of the blade (the rounded edge of obround melee hitbox). A "360/spin attack" is a sliding sweep attack that hits targets around the player (not always in a 360° arc, but is usually above 180°). A "direct slam attack" is a melee strike that hits a single target at the epicenter of a slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "radial slam attack" is the area-of-effect component of the melee slam attack. Affected by the Seismic Wave mod. A "ranged attack" is any melee attack that launches a ranged projectile or can hit targets beyond melee range.

Average Damage Multiplier per second only applies to single-target DPS calculations.
Note that hits marked as "Radial Slam Attack" will not apply at the epicenter of a single target hit so these will not be accounted for in Avg Dmg Multi/s calculations.
Combo animation lengths are approximate and are only accurate within a few tenths of a second.
Each tile marking in stance preview gifs are 2m apart.
Combos labeled with an asterisk (*) are shared between weapons within the same weapon type.

Acquisition[]

The Telos Boltace can be acquired by reaching the Rank of Maxim with the Arbiters of Hexis, and spending 125,000 Standing 125,000 to purchase. As with all Syndicate Weapons, the Telos Boltace cannot be chosen as the free offering upon ranking up to Maxim rank.
Syndicate weapons can also be acquired via Trading, but only for unranked copies without Forma or Orokin Catalyst installed.
Players must have a Mastery Rank of at least 11 to acquire the Telos Boltace, either through trading or through the Syndicates themselves.

Notes[]

Slide attacks trigger Stormpath, creating a 14 meter vortex that pulls in and staggers enemies.
- Performing another slide attack within 8 seconds of triggering Stormpath will launch and suspend nearby enemies in a Lifted status. This triggers a cooldown of 6 seconds, during which slide attacks will behave as normal.
- Vortex or launch ranges are not affected by ( Primed) Reach.
Having the Telos Boltace in your loadout boosts Bullet Jump velocity, Roll distance, Aim Glide duration, and Wall Latch duration by 20%.
- In Conclave, only the Aim Glide and Wall Latch bonuses are granted.

Tips[]

Stormpath and the high status chance can be put together to hit several enemies with the AoE's of Gas and Electricity status effects.
Nezha can use Stormpath to drag enemies into the path of Fire Walker to charge Pyroclastic Flow efficiently.

Trivia[]

Originally, the Telos Boltace released energy waves similar to Exalted Blade on slide attacks.
- The concept for the original effect was designed by player TunaMayo.
