Understand Vericres
Useful when…
- Close combat focused on normal attacks with a high Slash share.
- Mod planning when the two Madurai polarities match selected mods.
Attack profile
Normal attacks deal 180 damage: 129.6 Slash, 28.8 Puncture, and 21.6 Impact. They list 22% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 20% status chance; speed is 1 and range is 1.8. Regular slam deals 360 Impact with 10% status chance, falloff from 0 to 6, and 50% reduction. Heavy slam deals 540 Blast with 28% status chance, falloff from 0 to 8, and 30% reduction.
Mastery and mod fit
Vericres requires Mastery Rank 8 and lists two Madurai polarities. The supplied entry does not list an upgrade track or special ability. The polarities can inform mod placement when they match the selected mods.
Other melee options
Fang Prime is a Rank 10 dual-dagger option. Glaive is a Rank 1 melee weapon that can also be thrown like a boomerang. Quassus is another Rank 8 warfan; its description says it scatters ethereal daggers, which are more accurate in Xaku's hands. These differ in weapon type or described mechanics.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Listed range is 1.8.
- Normal attacks, regular slams, and heavy slams use different damage types.
- No crafting or acquisition details are listed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not confuse the heavy slam's 28% status chance with the regular slam's 10%.
- Do not infer a projectile attack for Vericres from its warfan description.
