Understand Meteor Crash
Useful when…
- Increasing an Archmelee weapon’s Impact damage component.
- Choosing a Naramon-polarity Archmelee damage mod when Impact is the desired damage type.
Effect and fit
Meteor Crash grants +15% Impact at rank 0, +60% at rank 3, and +90% at rank 5. It is a standard-slot Archmelee Mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 2, and maximum rank 5. The listed effect is Impact damage only; no status chance increase is specified.
Rank investment
The rank 0→1 step costs 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits; the final listed 4→5 step costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. Rank it according to how much Impact bonus your weapon configuration needs, since the final ranks cost more than the early increases.
Related mods and sources
Astral Slash is the corresponding listed Slash-damage choice, while Blazing Steel adds Heat rather than Impact. Astral Autopsy serves a different purpose: it scans enemies killed by fatal strikes, provided a Codex Scanner is equipped and has a charge. Listed Meteor Crash sources include Blite Captains, Glacik Commanders, and several Archwing mission rotations.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The bonus applies to Impact, so it may not serve a build seeking another damage type.
- It has no listed status chance bonus.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading the name as evidence of a status-chance increase; only Impact is listed.
- Treating the Slash, Heat, and Impact mods as interchangeable damage bonuses.
