Understand Null Audit
Useful when…
- Give a Hound the Aura and Abilities of an Eximus enemy for a temporary period.
- Strip half of the target Eximus's Overguard as part of the effect.
Effect and duration
At rank 0, the Hound uses the same Aura and Abilities as an Eximus enemy for 10 seconds while stripping its Overguard by 50%. The duration increases to 40 seconds at rank 3 and 60 seconds at rank 5. The supplied effect does not identify a single fixed Eximus Aura or ability set; it refers to the Eximus enemy involved.
Rank and fitting
Null Audit is a standard Hound mod with Penjaga polarity and base drain 0, with five upgrade ranks. Listed costs include 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits from rank 0 to 1, 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits from rank 2 to 3, and 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits from rank 4 to 5. Rank it when a longer duration is valuable for the Hound setup; the supplied effect keeps the Overguard strip at 50% across the listed ranks.
Hound precept choices
The supplied comparison candidates have distinct effects: Equilibrium Audit creates shockwaves that knock down enemies within 15 m and deal 300 damage; Repo Audit disarms enemies within 30 m; Aerial Prospectus calls down an Orbital Strike on an enemy within 27 m. These descriptions show different control or damage functions, rather than direct replacements for Null Audit's Eximus-derived effect.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its utility depends on the Eximus Aura and Abilities available for the effect.
- The Overguard strip remains 50% in the supplied rank descriptions; ranking increases duration.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming Null Audit always provides one fixed Eximus Aura and set of Abilities.
- Expecting ranks to raise the Overguard strip above 50%.
