Telos Boltace

Spinning attacks unleash the Stormpath, a tempest of mayhem that hurls any foes in its way

The Telos Boltace is the Arbiters of Hexis' Syndicate variant of the Boltace. When equipped, the velocity or duration of certain maneuvers is increased, and Slide Attacks vacuum in nearby enemies.

AcquisitionEdit

The Telos Boltace can be acquired by reaching the Rank of Maxim with the Arbiters of Hexis, and spending 125,000‍125,000 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 8 to acquire the Telos Boltace, either through trading or through the Syndicates themselves.

CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon deals primarily Puncture damage.

Advantages:

Tied with Boltace for the second highest base damage of all tonfas and the second highest Slide Attack damage of all melee weapons, behind Ohma.
- High Puncture damage – effective against armor.
High status chance.
Tied with Kronen for the second highest attack speed of all tonfas, behind Kronen Prime.
When held, the weapon provides a 20% passive boost to Bullet Jump velocity, Aim Glide duration, and Wall Latch duration.
Slide attacks trigger Stormpath, creating a 14 meter vortex that pulls in and staggers enemies. A second slide attack shortly after the vortex will launch and ragdoll nearby enemies.
Stance slot has polarity, matching Gemini Cross.
Innate polarity.

Disadvantages:

Low Impact and Slash damage – less effective against shields and health.
Low critical chance.
Very short range.
Small slam attack radius (~2m).

Comparisons:

Telos Boltace, compared to Boltace:
- Equal base damage, but different composition:
  - Higher Puncture damage (72.3 vs. 68.0)
  - Lower Slash damage (4.2 vs. 8.5)
- Higher critical chance (10% vs. 5%)
- Higher critical multiplier (2.0x vs. 1.5x)
- Higher attack speed (1.08 vs. 0.92)
- Different polarities ( vs. None)
- Higher Mastery Rank required (8 vs. 2)

NotesEdit

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 ragdoll nearby enemies. 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.
Holding the Telos Boltace boosts Bullet Jump velocity, Aim Glide duration, and Wall Latch duration by 20%
- In Conclave, only the Aim Glide and Wall Latch bonuses are granted.

TipsEdit

The Telos Boltace's high slide damage makes Maiming Strike ideal in enhancing its damage.
Stormpath and the high status chance can be put together to hit several enemies with AoE status effects, such as Gas, Electricity, and Blast procs.
Nezha can use Stormpath to drag enemies into the path of Fire Walker to charge Pyroclastic Flow efficiently.

TriviaEdit

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.
