Understand Brood's Oversurge
Useful when…
- Direct all active Scuttlers at an aimed target by holding the ability.
- Add an Electricity damage and status-effect attack to Widow's Brood.
What the augment does
Brood's Oversurge galvanizes Scuttlers with Electricity. Holding the ability directs all active Scuttlers at the aimed target, inflicting Electricity damage and a status effect in a radius. The described attack depends on having active Scuttlers and aiming at a target.
Damage by rank
The listed Electricity damage is 1,250 at rank 0, 1,750 at rank 2, and 2,000 at rank 3. The mod is an Oraxia mod with Zenurik polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3.
Ranking investment
Ranking raises the stated attack damage. The supplied fusion examples list 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits from rank 0 to 1, 60 Endo and 2,898 Credits from rank 1 to 2, and 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits from rank 2 to 3. Consider the final ranks when the increase in the directed Scuttler attack is worth the fusion investment and base drain.
Practical limitation
The directed attack requires a hold input and active Scuttlers; the supplied effect does not specify a damage radius measurement, status chance, or status type beyond Electricity damage and a status effect. Do not treat the listed damage as final damage against a target.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard Oraxia mod slot and has base drain 6.
- The directed attack requires active Scuttlers and a hold input.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the directed attack without active Scuttlers.
- Assuming a status chance, specific status effect, or radius measurement that is not stated.
