Understand Sword Alone
Useful when…
- Consider it for the listed Mobility and Sprint Speed bonuses while melee is equipped.
Movement bonuses and condition
The listed bonuses apply with melee equipped. At rank 0, Sword Alone grants +2.5% Mobility and +7.5% Sprint Speed; at rank 2, +7.5% Mobility and +22.5% Sprint Speed; and at rank 3, +10% Mobility and +30% Sprint Speed. The effect listing does not describe the bonuses when melee is unequipped.
Slot and ranking
Sword Alone is a Conclave melee mod with Madurai polarity, base drain 10, and maximum rank 3. The listed rank 2-to-3 step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits, and raises the bonuses to +10% Mobility and +30% Sprint Speed while melee is equipped.
Other melee mod effects
Berserker Fury grants attack speed after melee kills. Blood Rush adds critical chance that stacks with Combo Multiplier. Condition Overload adds melee damage per Status Type affecting the target. Their listed effects differ from Sword Alone's movement bonuses.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed movement bonuses are conditioned on melee being equipped.
- The mod has base drain 10 and is a Conclave variant.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the listed bonuses without meeting the melee-equipped condition.
- Confusing its movement bonuses with the separate attack speed, critical chance, or conditional melee damage effects listed for the comparison mods.
