Argon Plating GUIDE
Understand Argon Plating
Useful when…
- Adding armor to an Archwing setup.
Effect and fit
This standard Archwing mod gives +17% armor at rank 0, +67% at rank 3, and +100% at rank 5. It has Vazarin polarity and a base drain of 4.
Ranking and alternatives
It ranks to 5; the listed rank 4-to-5 step costs 160 Endo and 7,728 Credits. Rank it further when the added armor is useful enough to justify fusion costs and mod capacity. Auxiliary Power instead raises maximum energy, while Efficient Transferral raises ability duration and Energy Amplifier raises ability range; those serve different goals rather than replacing armor.
Acquisition
Listed sources include Uranus/Caelus Interception, Rotation B, and several enemy and container drop entries. The listed entries include differing chances; these are not a guarantee of obtaining the mod.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard mod slot and capacity for an armor bonus.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not treat the listed armor bonus as a direct damage increase.
