Understand Serrated Rounds
Useful when…
- Convert a portion of rifle damage to Slash in Conclave.
- Choose Slash conversion over the listed Impact or Puncture conversion options.
Conversion and compatibility
At rank 0, Serrated Rounds converts 5% of damage to Slash, rising to 15% at rank 2 and 20% at rank 3. It is a Conclave rifle mod with Madurai polarity and base drain 2. Comet Rounds and Ripper Rounds are explicitly incompatible with it.
Rank investment
This mod reaches rank 3. Its example fusion costs are 20 Endo and 966 Credits for ranks 0–1, 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits for ranks 1–2, and 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits for ranks 2–3. Consider the final rank when the additional five percentage points of conversion are useful.
Alternatives with different effects
Comet Rounds converts damage to Impact, while Ripper Rounds converts it to Puncture; these are alternative conversion directions and are named as incompatible. Aerial Ace instead refreshes double jump on a kill while airborne, making it an Exilus mobility option rather than a damage conversion alternative.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Converts damage type instead of listing a flat damage increase.
- Cannot be equipped with Comet Rounds or Ripper Rounds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the conversion percentage as a flat damage bonus.
- Trying to install it alongside either named incompatible conversion mod.
