Volatile Recompense

Kullervo ability augment

Released Jun 25, 2025

Volatile Recompense extends the duration of Kullervo’s Recompense daggers, which whirl around him and slash nearby foes with Blast damage and a Status Effect. Consider it when you want that orbiting effect to last longer.

Volatile Recompense GUIDE

Understand Volatile Recompense

Useful when…

  • Equip on Kullervo to modify Recompense as described.
  • Use higher ranks to extend the dagger duration.

Effect and duration

Volatile Recompense is a Kullervo augment with Zenurik polarity and base drain 6. It changes Recompense so daggers whirl in a ring around Kullervo, slash nearby foes, deal Blast damage and a Status Effect, then return to the ring. Duration is 10 seconds at rank 0, 20 seconds at rank 2, and 25 seconds at rank 3.

Ranking and costs

The mod has three ranks. Its rank steps cost 30, 60, and 120 Endo, with 1,449, 2,898, and 5,796 Credits respectively. Rank increases the stated duration; the supplied effects do not give damage, radius, or further status details, so duration is the supported reason to invest.

Related augment, different change

It modifies a different interaction, so it is not a direct substitute for Volatile Recompense’s Recompense duration effect.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Uses a standard mod slot and has base drain 6.
  • The described effect is duration-focused; no damage or radius scaling is provided.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Confusing its Recompense modification with the separate Storm of Ukko augment.
  • Assuming its rank increases damage or radius when only duration changes are listed.
