Understand Hysterical Assault
Useful when…
- Use when you want a targeted leap while attacking with Valkyr's Talons during Hysteria.
- Consider for movement between nearby targets, accounting for the five-second duration of the speed bonus.
How does it work?
Hysterical Assault augments Hysteria. Attacking with Valkyr's Talons can leap onto a targeted enemy up to 50 m away. It also grants Parkour Velocity and Sprint Speed for five seconds: +20% at rank 0, +40% at rank 2, and +50% at rank 3. The listed 50 m reach is not shown as rank-dependent.
Slot and incompatibility
It is a Valkyr Exilus mod with Zenurik polarity and base drain 6. It is explicitly incompatible with Enraged. Enraged instead increases Hysteria damage and critical chance while limiting its duration to 15 seconds with a matching cooldown; that is a different Hysteria specialization. Eternal War augments Warcry, and Prolonged Paralysis augments Paralysis, so they affect other abilities.
Rank the mobility bonus
There are three ranks. The listed steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo, plus 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 credits. Rank improves the two five-second movement bonuses, while the leap's listed range remains up to 50 m. Invest further if the stronger temporary movement is useful to your play.
Practical limit
The speed benefit lasts five seconds, and reaching a target depends on using a Talon attack against a target within the stated range. This augment does not grant the damage and critical-chance effects described for Enraged.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses Valkyr's Exilus slot and a base drain of 6.
- Cannot be equipped with Enraged.
- The movement boost lasts five seconds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting rank to extend the listed 50 m leap range.
- Trying to equip it alongside Enraged.
- Expecting the speed bonus to persist beyond five seconds.
