Understand Nira's Contempt
Useful when…
- Use it on a Whip when both the listed melee damage and status chance bonuses fit the weapon build.
What are the bonuses?
At maximum rank, Nira's Contempt grants +90% Melee Damage and +60% Status Chance. At rank 0, it grants +15% and +10%, respectively; at rank 3, +60% and +40%. These are mod bonuses, not a weapon's final damage or final status chance.
Fit and investment
This Rare standard mod is compatible with Whips, has Madurai polarity, base drain 4, and maximum rank 5. The listed rank-up costs are 30/1,449, 120/5,796, and 480/23,184 Endo/Credits for the shown intervals. Each rank raises both bonuses. Rank it when the combined damage and status increases justify the resource cost and standard slot in your whip build.
Stance compatibility and acquisition
Burning Wasp and Coiling Viper are listed Whip stance mods with different descriptions of their combat forms; they occupy stance slots rather than the standard slot used by Nira's Contempt. Lashing Coil is specifically listed as a Conclave stance. Nira's Contempt is listed in Rotation A of level 50–70 Cetus and Orb Vallis bounties, with several supplied chance values across those sources.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The bonus applies to Whips and occupies a standard slot.
- Higher ranks increase both bonuses but require progressively more Endo and Credits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not treat the listed melee damage and status chance as final weapon stats.
- Do not confuse a stance-slot Whip mod with this standard-slot mod.
