Understand Citrine Prime
Useful when…
- Support nearby allies with her health-regeneration passive, Preserving Shell, and Prismatic Gem’s Status Chance and Status Duration bonuses.
- Use Fractured Blast to slash and stagger enemies; enemies afflicted with its Slash Status have an increased chance to drop Health and Energy Orbs.
- Deploy Prismatic Gem when Citrine Prime or allies are dealing weapon damage to enemies it can target; its beams inflict Heat, Cold, Toxin, and Electricity Status Effects.
- Use Crystallize to paralyze enemies, then hit the resulting crystal growths to deal Critical Damage.
Ability effects
Fractured Blast slashes and staggers enemies, inflicting Slash Status; enemies afflicted with that status have an increased chance of dropping Health and Energy Orbs. Preserving Shell protects Citrine Prime and nearby allies with a crystalline shell that gradually decays, while kills and assists increase its defensive power. Prismatic Gem fires beams at enemies taking weapon damage from Citrine Prime and her allies. Its beams inflict Heat, Cold, Toxin, and Electricity Status Effects, and nearby allies receive increased Status Chance and Status Duration. Crystallize sends fractals forward; enemies touched by them are paralyzed by crystalline growths, and hits to those growths deal Critical Damage.
Ally support and passive
Citrine Prime’s passive grants nearby allies Health regeneration. Picking up a Health Orb increases that regeneration up to a maximum. The listed passive description does not provide numeric values for the base regeneration, increase, or cap. Preserving Shell adds defense for Citrine Prime and nearby allies; kills and assists increase its defensive power as it gradually decays.
Targeting and combat
Prismatic Gem targets enemies taking weapon damage from Citrine Prime and her allies. Fractured Blast increases orb-drop chances against enemies afflicted with its Slash Status. Crystallize combines paralysis with an offensive effect: hitting the crystal growths deals Critical Damage.
Stats and configuration
Citrine Prime has 400 Health, 270 Shield, 325 Armor, and 150 Power. Her listed mod polarities are Vazarin, Madurai, and Naramon; her aura polarity is Naramon.
Comparison

Limitations and tradeoffs
- Preserving Shell gradually decays, although kills and assists increase its defensive power.
- Prismatic Gem targets enemies taking weapon damage from Citrine Prime or her allies.
- The passive description gives no numeric regeneration values.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming Preserving Shell does not decay.
- Expecting Prismatic Gem to target enemies without the stated weapon-damage condition.
- Treating the passive’s regeneration values as known numerical rates.
