Understand Swift Momentum
Useful when…
- Choose it for a squad that benefits from faster heavy attacks and extended combo duration.
- Consider ranking it when the larger shared bonuses justify the rising fusion cost.
What does the Aura provide?
At rank 0, Swift Momentum grants the squad +5% Heavy Attack Wind Up Speed and +1 second Melee Combo Duration. At rank 3 it gives +20% and +4 seconds; at rank 5 it gives +30% and +6 seconds.
Slot, polarity, and ranking
This standard Aura has Madurai polarity and base drain −2. Ranking improves both squad bonuses, but the listed rank 4-to-5 step costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. Compare that final increase with the investment and the value of your Aura slot in the build.
When another Aura may fit better
Melee Guidance gives squadmates 12 seconds of combo duration while reducing your own combo duration by 6 seconds. Empowered Blades instead gives the squad +60% Status Chance and Status Damage on Heavy Attacks while costing 90 Shields per hit. Sprint Boost provides +15% Sprint Speed to the squad. These have distinct costs and benefits, so compare them against whether your priority is combo duration, heavy-attack status effects, or movement.
Listed source
The supplied entry lists Arbitrations, Rotation C, as a source for Swift Momentum, with a 3.5% chance.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- It uses the Aura slot, which could hold another squad benefit.
- Maximum rank requires substantially more resources than the earlier ranks.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Reading the squad bonus as a personal-only effect.
- Ignoring Empowered Blades' stated shield loss per hit when comparing heavy-attack Auras.
