Understand Larva Burst
Useful when…
- Add the augment for Larva's reactivation detonation effect.
- Consider its rank milestones when comparing the listed damage and radius values with the mod fusion costs.
Detonation and rank values
Reactivating Larva detonates it. The listed effect is 300 Toxin damage with radius 2 at rank 0, 500 damage with radius 6 at rank 2, and 600 damage with radius 8 at rank 3. The description says damage and Status Effect stack for every enemy grabbed by Larva; it does not give a combined total formula or a unit for radius.
Mod details and fusion costs
Larva Burst is a Rare standard Nidus mod with Zenurik polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. Fusion costs are 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for rank 0→1, 60 Endo and 2,898 Credits for rank 1→2, and 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits for rank 2→3.
Other Nidus augment roles
Insatiable concerns additional Mutation stacks while Nidus is in the infestation. Parasitic Vitality grants Nidus and an ally bound through Parasitic Link 4% Max Health per Mutation during that link. These are distinct effects from Larva Burst's Larva detonation.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The detonation requires reactivating Larva.
- The effect stacks for every enemy grabbed, but the supplied description does not state a combined total formula.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overlooking that the detonation requires Larva reactivation.
- Treating the listed damage and radius values as a stated combined total or assuming a radius unit not given in the facts.
