Understand Carnis Mandible
Useful when…
- Use on compatible melee weapons when you want the listed Slash and Status Chance bonuses together.
- Invest in ranks when both stats are valuable to the weapon and the capacity cost fits.
Effects and compatibility
At maximum rank, Carnis Mandible provides +90% Slash and +60% Status Chance. At rank 0 it provides +15% Slash and +10% Status Chance; rank 3 provides +60% and +40%. It is a standard melee mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 5.
Rank investment
The listed upgrade costs are 10 Endo and 483 credits from rank 0 to 1, 40 Endo and 1,932 credits from rank 2 to 3, and 160 Endo and 7,728 credits from rank 4 to 5. The bonus rises with each rank, but later steps cost more; partial ranking gives a smaller version of both listed effects when resources or capacity are constrained.
Use and alternatives
The paired bonuses can suit a melee weapon where additional Slash and status chance are both useful. Relentless Combination instead increases combo counter chance when Slash Status deals damage, while Drifting Contact adds combo duration and status chance. Condition's Perfection is an Exilus mod that enables Tennokai and adds status chance on Tennokai attacks, so its slot and condition differ from this standard-slot mod. Carnis Mandible is listed from Deimos enemies and Cambion Drift bounty rotations.
Limitations
The mod occupies a standard melee slot and provides no listed combo effect of its own. Its Slash bonus is a listed mod bonus, not a final damage calculation; actual weapon output is not specified here.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The paired bonuses compete for a standard melee mod slot and capacity.
- Higher ranks improve both bonuses but require increasing Endo and credits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the listed Slash bonus as final weapon damage.
- Confusing its standard slot with the Exilus slot used by Condition's Perfection.
