Understand Truth's Flame
Useful when…
- Consider it for a Tennokai melee setup that can use the extra opportunity and damage after Tennokai kills.
- Compare the rank-scaled Tennokai damage increase and listed Heat Damage-per-second curse when choosing a rank.
Tennokai effects and curse
At rank 0, Tennokai kills grant an additional 4 seconds of Tennokai opportunity and increase Tennokai damage by 30%; the listed curse is 25 Heat Damage/s for 6 seconds. At rank 2, these values are 60% and 50 Heat Damage/s for 6 seconds. At rank 3, they are 120% and 100 Heat Damage/s for 6 seconds. The curse trigger is unspecified. Each sampled rank also lists a Truth value, reaching +1 at rank 3; its meaning is not defined.
Fit and rank investment
Truth's Flame is a Madurai-polarity melee Exilus mod with base drain 6 and maximum rank 3. The listed rank-up steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo, and 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 Credits, respectively. Ranking increases both the Tennokai damage value and the listed Heat Damage/s curse value.
Other listed Tennokai effects
Dreamer's Wrath enables Tennokai and lists increased opportunity chance and critical damage for Tennokai attacks. Opportunity's Reach enables Tennokai and lists a longer opportunity window and added melee range for Tennokai attacks. Condition's Perfection enables Tennokai and lists increased status chance on Tennokai attacks. Their listed effects differ from Truth's Flame's benefits tied to Tennokai kills.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The extra Tennokai opportunity and damage increase are tied to Tennokai kills.
- The listed Heat Damage/s curse value rises at the sampled higher ranks; its trigger is unspecified.
- It occupies a melee Exilus slot and has base drain 6.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the extra opportunity and damage increase as applying to kills other than Tennokai kills.
- Assuming the curse trigger or damage recipient when the effect listing does not specify either.
- Treating the Tennokai damage increase as a general melee damage bonus.
- Assigning a specific meaning to the listed Truth value.
