(The previous format was better in my opinion as it displays the values that are directly affected by power strength. The previous math was also fine. Checking the abilities menu after equipping additional power strength can confirm it.)

Vex Armor

When shields are hit, Chroma's armor grows stronger, when health takes a hit, weapon damage increases. Active for a limited time, maximum increases correspond to rank.

Info

  • Chroma enters a state of primal rage, gaining Scorn when shields are hit and Fury when health is damaged. Scorn increases by an additional 0.25% / 0.375% / 0.5% / 0.625% for every point of shields lost and multiplies Chroma's armor by a maximum of 200% / 250% / 300% / 350%. Fury increases by an additional 1% / 1.25% / 1.5% / 1.75% for every point of health lost and causes Chroma to gain a maximum of 100% / 125% / 150% / 175% bonus weapon damage. The effects of Vex Armor last for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds.
    • Scorn, Fury, and conversion percentages are affected by Power Strength.
    • Scorn is a multiplicative bonus applied to Chroma's total armor[1] (e.g., with a maxed Steel Fiber and Intensify, Scorn will increase Chroma's total armor to a maximum of 350 × (1 + 1.1) × 3.5 × 1.3 = 3344.25 at rank 3). Scorn is applied after all additive armor bonuses have been accounted for, including the armor bonus from a Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage Elemental Ward.
      • Scorn is tracked from 100% to its maximum percentage in the HUD next to Chroma's shield and health indicators (e.g., with a maxed Intensify, maximum Scorn at rank 3 will have 3.5 × 1.3 = 455% displayed in the HUD). The displayed percentage is the multiplier that is currently applied to Chroma's total armor.
    • Fury is a multiplicative bonus applied to Chroma's total weapon damage (e.g., with a maxed Intensify and a weapon that inflicts 250 total damage, Fury will increase the weapon's total damage to a maximum of 250 × (1 + 1.75 × 1.3) = 818.75 at rank 3).
      • Fury is tracked from 100% to 100% + its maximum percentage in the HUD next to Chroma's shield and health indicators (e.g., with a maxed Intensify, maximum Fury at rank 3 will have 1 + 1.75 × 1.3 = 327.5% displayed in the HUD). The displayed percentage is the multiplier that is currently applied to Chroma's total weapon damage.
    • Scorn and Fury will gradually increase each time shields or health are hit until they reach their maximum percentages. 400 shield points must be lost to maximize Scorn, and 100 health points must be lost to maximize Fury.
      • Scorn's conversion percentage uses the following expression when accounting for Power Strength: Conversion Percentage = 0.25% × (Maximum Scorn × (1 + Power Strength) − 1). As an example with a maxed Intensify, a rank-3 Vex Armor will have a Scorn conversion percentage equal to 0.25% × (3.5 × 1.3 − 1) = 0.8875%. If 200 shield points are lost while Vex Armor is active, Scorn will increase by an additional 200 × 0.8875% = 177.5%.
      • Fury's conversion percentage uses the following expression when accounting for Power Strength: Conversion Percentage = 1% × Maximum Fury × (1 + Power Strength). As an example with a maxed Intensify, a rank-3 Vex Armor will have a Fury conversion percentage equal to 1% × 1.75 × 1.3 = 2.275%. If 50 health points are lost while Vex Armor is active, Fury will increase by an additional 50 × 2.275% = 113.75%.
    • Scorn does not accumulate when overshields are hit.
    • Duration is affected by Power Duration.
  • Vex Armor is a one-handed action. As such, it can be used while performing various maneuvers and actions without interruption.
  • Vex Armor cannot be recast while active.
  • Casting animation time of 0.75 seconds.

Tips & Tricks

  • Explosive self-damaging weapons such as Ogris, Castanas, and Stug can allow you to damage yourself to gain Scorn and Fury while Vex Armor is active.
  • By triggering Elemental Ward immediately after activating Vex Armor, the casting animation can transition smoothly without stopping Chroma's movement.
