Understand Relentless Combination
Useful when…
- Use on a melee weapon and setup that deals Slash Status damage.
- Consider a lower rank when its listed chance is useful without fully ranking the mod.
When does it add combo?
The chance to increase the Melee Combo Counter applies when Slash Status deals damage. The listed chance is 25% at rank 0, 75% at rank 2, and 100% at rank 3. The trigger is Slash Status damage, not every melee hit or status effect.
What equipment and slot does it use?
It is a standard melee mod with Naramon polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. Its stated trigger depends on Slash Status dealing damage.
What does ranking add?
The chance rises with rank. The listed rank 2-to-3 step costs 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits. Acquisition entries list Ancient Disruptor, Deimos Therid, Tar Mutalist Moa, and Duviri/Endless tiers with values of 0.33 or 0.67; no unit is supplied for those values.
How do other melee mods compare?
Carnis Mandible adds Slash and Status Chance; Drifting Contact adds Combo Duration and Status Chance; Galvanized Elementalist adds Status Damage and a melee-kill-triggered Status Chance bonus. Their listed descriptions do not grant combo-counter increases specifically when Slash Status deals damage.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The effect requires Slash Status to deal damage.
- Its combo benefit depends on a melee setup that produces Slash Status damage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting combo-counter increases from hits that do not deal Slash Status damage.
- Treating the listed percentage as the amount of combo gained rather than the chance of an increase.
