Understand Spring-Loaded Broadhead
Useful when…
- Use on the Daikyu in Conclave when engagements can occur beyond the distance threshold.
- Rank it to reduce the distance required to activate the damage bonus.
Effect and range threshold
This Conclave Daikyu mod grants +40% damage if the target is farther than the specified distance. The threshold falls from 45 m at rank 0 to 27 m at rank 3 and 15 m at rank 5. The damage bonus stays at +40% across these listed ranks; rank improves how close a target can be while still meeting the condition.
Rank cost and use
It is a standard-slot Madurai mod with base drain 10 and maximum rank 5. Listed steps cost 30, 60, 120, 240, and 480 Endo, with credits rising from 1,449 to 23,184. Since ranking changes the distance threshold rather than the stated bonus size, invest further when the lower activation distance is useful.
Different Daikyu option
Amalgam Daikyu Target Acquired is a standard variant with a headshot multiplier bonus, life steal on Nikanas, and a chance to pick up used arrows. Those are different effects from Spring-Loaded Broadhead's conditional damage bonus at range; the comparison does not make it a direct substitute.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The damage bonus only applies beyond the current rank's distance threshold.
- It is a Conclave variant, with base drain 10.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not expect the bonus when the target is at or inside the listed distance threshold.
- Do not assume ranking raises the +40% bonus; the listed rank change lowers the required distance.
