Understand Relentless Assault
Useful when…
- Use its on-kill Energy Rate effect in a Conclave melee setup.
- Compare its kill-triggered Energy Rate effect with melee mods whose listed effects concern attack speed or the next attack's damage.
What happens on a kill?
On kill, it grants Energy Rate for a limited duration: +0.5 for 1 second at rank 0, +1.5 for 3 seconds at rank 2, and +2 for 4 seconds at rank 3. It is listed as a Conclave melee mod.
How does it fit a melee loadout?
It is a melee mod with Madurai polarity and a listed base drain of 10. Its Energy Rate bonus requires a kill and lasts only for the stated duration. The acquisition entry lists Conclave, Whirlwind, with a chance value of 100; no unit is supplied for that value.
What is the rank tradeoff?
The mod reaches rank 3. Each listed rank improves the Energy Rate amount and duration; the final rank-up step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits. Its listed base drain is 10.
How do the listed melee alternatives differ?
Martial Fury lists +20% Attack Speed and -50% Energy Rate. Berserker Fury grants Attack Speed on melee kill and stacks up to two times. Energy Channel converts energy used into bonus damage on the next melee attack. These are distinct listed effects and conditions.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The bonus requires a kill and expires after at most 4 seconds at rank 3.
- It is listed as a Conclave variant and has base drain 10.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting Energy Rate without a kill trigger.
- Treating the listed acquisition chance value of 100 as a percentage or probability; no unit is supplied.
