Understand Spectrosiphon
Useful when…
- Gara setups that can kill enemies within Spectrorage to generate opportunities for Energy Orb drops.
Effect and rank values
Enemies that die within Spectrorage have a 20% chance to drop an Energy Orb at rank 0, 40% at rank 2, and 50% at rank 3. The location of the kill matters: the target must die within Spectrorage.
Slot and investment
Spectrosiphon is a Rare Standard Gara mod with Zenurik polarity, 6 base drain, and a maximum rank of 3. The listed fusion steps cost 30/1,449, 60/2,898, and 120/5,796 Endo/Credits. Higher ranks raise the drop chance, but do not remove the requirement that enemies die within Spectrorage.
Other Gara augment purposes
Shattered Storm is tied to breaking Gara's Mass Vitrify ring with Shattered Lash and applies Splinter Storm to enemies struck by the glass. Mending Splinters heals 15 Health per second for each target affected by Splinter Storm. Those effects serve different ability functions from Spectrosiphon's Energy Orb chance.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Uses a standard slot and 6 base drain.
- Energy Orb drops are chance-based and require kills within Spectrorage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting an Energy Orb for every qualifying kill.
- Counting kills outside Spectrorage toward the effect.
