Understand Vik-Anam
Useful when…
- Increasing the Amp's maximum energy.
- Building around Madurai School Mods to gain the additional regeneration bonus.
What does it improve?
At rank 5, Vik-Anam grants +30% Maximum Amp Energy and +5% Amp Energy Regen Rate for each Madurai School Mod. The regeneration component depends on the number of those mods; it is not a flat regeneration amount independent of the loadout. At rank 0, capacity increases by +5%, while the per-mod regeneration bonus is already +5%.
Slot and rank investment
This Uncommon Antique mod has universal polarity, zero base drain, and a maximum rank of 5. Ranking raises maximum Amp Energy from +5% at rank 0 to +30% at rank 5; the stated per-Madurai-mod regeneration bonus remains +5% at the listed ranks. The example rank 4 to 5 cost is 5,120 Endo and 160,000 Credits, so weigh the last capacity increase against its cost and your capacity needs.
Choose by the effect you need
Other Antique mods address different effects: Da-Ren adds Operator Shields and a bonus per Unairu School Mod; Empazu-Shol improves Tauron Strike Initial Charge with a bonus for each mod from a unique School; Esti Vel-Ikha increases maximum Void Sling distance and adds radius per unique School. These are alternatives by purpose, not replacements for Amp energy capacity and regeneration.

Limitations and tradeoffs
- The regeneration bonus scales with the number of Madurai School Mods, so its value depends on the build.
- The final rank's listed example cost is much higher than the first rank's.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the regeneration bonus is independent of Madurai School Mods.
- Confusing maximum Amp Energy with Operator Shields or Tauron Strike charge.
