Understand Worm's Torment
Useful when…
- Use in a Plexus setup focused on turret damage against Grineer.
- Compare with faction-specific or general turret bonuses according to your expected opponents.
Faction-specific effect
At maximum rank, Worm's Torment grants x1.27 Turret Damage vs Grineer. The multiplier applies to turret damage against Grineer, so the faction condition matters; the listed effect does not cover Corpus enemies.
Ranks and capacity
This standard Plexus mod has Madurai polarity, base drain 4, and five ranks. The listed progression is x1.05 at rank 0, x1.18 at rank 3, and x1.27 at rank 5. The final rank step costs 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits. Rank further when the Grineer-specific multiplier is relevant to your missions and build capacity permits.
Alternatives with different conditions
Granum's Nemesis lists the same x1.27 multiplier against Corpus instead of Grineer. Hyperstrike lists +75% turret damage without the same faction condition. Crimson Fugue instead gains turret damage per enemy destroyed for eight seconds, up to five stacks. Their triggers and scope differ, so none is automatically interchangeable with Worm's Torment.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its damage multiplier is restricted to Grineer opponents.
- The last rank requires substantial Endo and Credits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Applying its Grineer multiplier to Corpus or other factions.
- Treating the listed multiplier as a general turret bonus without its opponent condition.
