Understand Lucky Shot
Useful when…
- Increasing projectile speed on a Conclave rifle.
- Using a Madurai-polarity standard rifle slot where the small accuracy reduction is acceptable.
What changes by rank?
Lucky Shot gives +10% Projectile Speed and -0.5% Accuracy at rank 0, +30% and -1.5% at rank 2, then +40% and -2% at rank 3. The supplied effect specifies projectile speed and accuracy; it does not establish a change to damage or fire rate.
Slot, restriction, and alternatives
It is a standard-slot Conclave Rifle mod with Madurai polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. Its listed incompatibility is Feathered Arrows. Aerial Ace is a Standard rifle Exilus mod that refreshes double jumps on kills while airborne; Agile Aim is a Conclave rifle Exilus mod that raises movement speed while aiming. Amalgam Serration is a Standard rifle mod with damage and sprint-speed bonuses.
Rank costs and source
Listed rank-up costs are 20 Endo and 966 Credits from 0 to 1, 40 and 1,932 from 1 to 2, and 80 and 3,864 from 2 to 3. The last rank brings the full listed speed increase and accuracy penalty; invest if that balance fits the weapon. Listed sources are several Conclave Rotation A rewards, each with a 2.48% chance.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Projectile speed is paired with a reduction in accuracy.
- It is incompatible with Feathered Arrows.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not interpret projectile speed as a damage increase.
- Do not overlook the accuracy penalty or the Feathered Arrows incompatibility.
