Understand Hunter Synergy
Useful when…
- Pair with a Primary weapon whose Critical Chance makes the added stat useful.
- Use when building the Companion’s claws around critical chance.
Effect and application
At maximum rank, the mod adds 30% Primary Weapon Critical Chance to the Companion. It gives 5% at rank 0 and 20% at rank 3. It applies to claws, not the Primary weapon’s own attacks.
Fit and investment
This is a standard Claws mod with Madurai polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 5. Ranking it raises the added critical chance, with higher listed fusion costs at later ranks. Its value depends on the Primary weapon stat it references and your Companion claw setup.
Other claw choices
Bite provides its own claw Critical Chance and Critical Damage bonuses. Assassin Posture changes Companion target priority and adds Overguard Damage, while Balanced Posture describes free behavior and staggering nearby enemies while moving. Those mods have different effects rather than duplicating Hunter Synergy.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its benefit is linked to the Primary Weapon Critical Chance stat and applies to Companion claws.
- Ranking spends more fusion resources to raise the added percentage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading the bonus as Critical Chance added to the Primary weapon.
- Treating posture effects as direct substitutes for added claw Critical Chance.
