Understand Molten Impact
Useful when…
- Add Heat to a melee weapon.
- Use a standard melee Mod with Naramon polarity.
Effect and equipment
Molten Impact grants +15% Heat at rank 0, +60% at rank 3, and +90% at rank 5. It is a standard-slot melee Mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 5. The listed bonus is the Mod effect, not a final weapon damage value.
Fusion costs
The rank 0→1 step costs 20 Endo and 966 Credits; the rank 4→5 step costs 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits. The Heat bonus increases with rank, from +15% at rank 0 to +90% at rank 5.
Related melee Mods
Flawed Molten Impact reaches +60% Heat at rank 3 and is incompatible with Molten Impact. Amalgam Organ Shatter provides +85% Critical Damage and +60% Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed; Auger Strike provides +120% Puncture. These Mods offer different bonuses.
Acquisition
Drop entries include Thermic Raknoids, Isolator Bursas, and multiple Capture mission nodes. Other listed sources include Defense mission Rotation C rewards and several bosses.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The final rank step costs 320 Endo and 15,456 Credits.
- It uses a standard melee Mod slot and grants Heat rather than the Critical Damage, Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed, or Puncture bonuses described for the related Mods.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating +90% Heat as a final damage value.
- Equipping it with Flawed Molten Impact, which is incompatible.
