Shatter Burst GUIDE
Understand Shatter Burst
Useful when…
- Consider it when a broad explosive attack suits the Railjack encounter.
- Compare its area barrage with Tether's enemy ensnare and increased vulnerability to Railjack weaponry.
Effect and fit
Shatter Burst is a universal polarity mod with base drain 0, compatible with Railjack Battle slot 2. It delivers a barrage of explosions across a large area, though the description gives no damage, radius, or explosion count.
Compare its function
Tether is also listed as a Railjack Battle slot 2 mod; it ensnares enemies and increases their vulnerability to Railjack weaponry. Particle Ram is described as dealing damage to anything it touches while moving forward. Its listed facts do not specify a slot, so compare these by their stated effects rather than assuming they share a slot.
Ranks
Shatter Burst has a maximum rank of 5. The supplied descriptions at ranks 0, 3, and 5 repeat the same barrage effect and show no rank-dependent change.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The description does not quantify its damage or area.
- No rank-dependent effect is shown in the supplied rank descriptions.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume fusion increases damage or explosion area; no rank-dependent effect is shown.
- Do not treat Particle Ram as a confirmed slot 2 option; its slot is not stated.
