Understand Flawed Molten Impact
Useful when…
- Adding Heat damage to a melee weapon with a flawed Mod.
- Using a Naramon-polarity melee Mod at a lower maximum rank.
Effect and compatibility
Flawed Molten Impact grants +15% Heat at rank 0, +45% at rank 2, and +60% at rank 3. It is a flawed standard-slot melee Mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. It is explicitly incompatible with the standard Molten Impact.
Rank costs and standard version
The first rank step costs 20 Endo and 966 Credits; the final 2→3 step costs 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits. Standard Molten Impact reaches +90% Heat at rank 5 and shares the listed base drain of 6 and Naramon polarity. It is a separate variant, and the two are explicitly incompatible, so do not plan to equip both together.
Other melee priorities
Amalgam Organ Shatter instead adds Critical Damage and Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed; Auger Strike adds Puncture. Those mods address different stats rather than serving as direct equivalents to the Heat bonus. The supplied details do not list an acquisition source for Flawed Molten Impact.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its maximum bonus is lower than the listed standard Molten Impact maximum.
- It cannot be equipped alongside Molten Impact.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Trying to equip it alongside the incompatible standard Molten Impact.
- Assuming its +60% Heat maximum matches the standard version’s +90%.
