Understand Jahu Canticle
Useful when…
- Supporting nearby allies against groups by applying its kill-triggered Armor and Shield reduction.
- Using a Tome exilus slot for an effect that triggers on enemy kills.
Trigger, effect, and range
The effect triggers when an enemy is killed and reduces the Armor and Shields of other enemies within Affinity Range. It reaches a 5% reduction at rank 3; the listed values are 2% at rank 0 and 4% at rank 2. The supplied description does not specify a duration or stacking behavior.
Slot and rank investment
This is a Tome exilus mod with Madurai polarity, 4 base drain, and maximum rank 3. Listed fusion costs are 30, 60, and 120 Endo, with 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 credits. Rank it when the stronger reduction matters to your use of the kill-triggered effect.
Other Canticles
Fass Canticle instead improves allies’ shield recharge after a kill, Khra Canticle gives enemies a chance to drop a Universal Orb on death, and Lohk Canticle grants allies fire rate after kills. These have different effects; Jahu is the option among these examples that reduces nearby enemies’ Armor and Shields.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Requires kills to trigger and targets must be within Affinity Range.
- Uses the Tome exilus slot.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the reduction to affect enemies outside Affinity Range.
- Assuming the effect triggers without a kill.
