This is a standard melee mod with Vazarin polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 3. The listed effects are Combo Duration and Status Chance.

Other combo-related effects

Relentless Combination lists a chance to increase the Melee Combo Counter when Slash Status deals damage. True Punishment lists +100% Additional Combo Count Chance and −50% Combo Duration. Weeping Wounds lists +40% Status Chance per Combo Multiplier. These effects differ from Drifting Contact’s fixed listed Combo Duration and Status Chance bonuses.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The mod provides listed Combo Duration and Status Chance bonuses; it does not list a combo-generation effect.
  • Ranking requires Endo and Credits.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating additional Combo Duration as combo generation.
  • Assuming the listed Status Chance bonus has a specified additive or relative interpretation.
