Bell Ringer GUIDE
Understand Bell Ringer
Useful when…
- Adding knockdown to Claw melee attacks.
- Applying the mod’s listed Impact Status Effects during those attacks.
Effect by rank
At rank 0, melee attacks knock down enemies and apply +1 Impact Status Effect. Rank 2 lists +3, and rank 3 lists +4. The effect description does not specify knockdown duration or additional status behavior.
Compatibility and mod details
Bell Ringer is an Uncommon standard Claw mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 3. It uses a standard slot.
Fusion and claw-mod comparisons
The rank 2 to 3 fusion step costs 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits. Cull the Weak increases melee damage per status type affecting the target and boosts non-critical hits. Magnetic Strike applies Magnetic status when an Impact status is inflicted. Protector Posture specifies attack priority for enemies within 15 m and adds Puncture Status Effects.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard Claw mod slot for knockdown and Impact Status Effects.
- Fusion costs increase with rank.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading +4 Impact Status Effects as +4 Impact damage.
- Attributing Protector Posture’s nearby-enemy attack priority to Bell Ringer.
