Understand Telos Boltace
Useful when…
- Consider its Normal Attack for close-range strikes with a listed 35% status chance.
- Evaluate the Stormpath Slide Attack separately from the described spinning effect; the trigger relationship is not specified.
- Use its slam entries as distinct options: the regular slam lists Impact damage, while the heavy slam lists Blast damage.
Stormpath and the slide entry
The description associates Stormpath with spinning attacks and says it hurls foes in its way. The details separately list a Stormpath Slide Attack, dealing 42 Impact, 21 Slash, and 357 Puncture damage, with 20% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 35% status chance. They do not specify whether this slide entry triggers the described spinning effect, so treat the effect and the listed slide profile as separate information.
Normal attack profile
Normal attacks list 21 Impact, 178.5 Puncture, and 10.5 Slash damage at speed 1.08. They have 20% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 35% status chance. Listed melee range is 2.5; the weapon's blocking angle is 60 degrees.
Slam modes and investment
The regular Slam Attack lists 420 Impact damage, 10% status chance, and area falloff from 0 to 8, with 50% reduction. Heavy Slam Attack is a separate mode: it lists 630 Blast damage, 10% status chance, and falloff from 0 to 9, with 30% reduction. The weapon requires Mastery Rank 11, has a rank cap of 30, and lists one Naramon polarity. These figures describe the listed modes; they do not establish a combined damage result or a particular upgrade priority.
Other melee attack styles
The comparison weapons have different stated conditions: Caustacyst releases an acid wave and corrosive sludge on heavy attacks; Amphis is described as connecting with multiple enemies and dealing shock damage on jump attacks; Arca Titron builds an electron charge with successive kills and releases it on slam attacks. Consider those mechanics only if their specific attack conditions fit what you want; their descriptions do not establish them as direct substitutes for Telos Boltace.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Normal attacks are strongly weighted toward Puncture damage.
- The described Stormpath spinning effect has no specified trigger relationship to the separately listed slide attack.
- The two slam modes have distinct damage types, falloff values, and attack entries.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume the listed slide attack is the trigger for the described Stormpath effect.
- Keep normal, slide, regular slam, and heavy slam figures separate.
- Do not carry one slam mode's damage type or falloff figures over to the other.
