Understand Veritux
Useful when…
- Early Arch-Melee use at mastery requirement 0.
- Normal melee attacks where its Slash-heavy physical profile is useful.
Attack profile
The normal attack is listed at speed 0.833 and deals 470 total damage: 329 Slash, 70.5 Impact and 70.5 Puncture. It has 5% critical chance, a 1.5× multiplier and 10% status chance. Range is 3, blocking angle 90 degrees, follow-through 0.7 and combo duration 5 seconds. Heavy attack, slam and heavy slam each list 470 damage; no alternate mode is specified.
Use and construction
Veritux requires no mastery rank, reaches rank 30 and has a Vazarin polarity. Its accessible requirement and Slash-heavy profile are concrete reasons to consider it; the low critical and status chances temper a case for specialized investment. The listed recipe requires a blueprint, circuits, Neurodes, Rubedo and Salvage, with price and build time shown. The recipe does not identify where to obtain these inputs.
Comparisons
Centaur lists a 25% critical chance and 2× multiplier, while Prisma Veritux lists 30% and 2×; each has a higher listed critical profile than standard Veritux. Agkuza shares Veritux's 5% and 1.5× base critical values but has a Puncture-heavy profile in its detailed stats. These comparisons show stat differences, not a universal ordering.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed 0.833 attack speed is slower than the listed speeds for Kaszas and Agkuza.
- Critical chance is 5% and status chance 10%.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not treat its 470 total damage as all Slash; 141 is Impact and Puncture.
- Do not infer special agility or movement mechanics from its description.
