Balefire

Info

• Hildryn expends 50 shields or overshields to equip her Exalted Weapon energy rocket launcher sidearm, the  Balefire Charger. The Balefire Charger consumes 100 shields or overshields to fire an energy bolt which explodes on impact with enemies and surfaces.
  • Balefire Charger will  Ragdoll enemies if Hildryn has overshield.
• Balefire Charger has its own unique statistics:
  • Base damage is 100 / 200 / 350 / 500 per hit.
    • Damage distribution is purely  Electricity.
  • Shots have a 150% critical multiplier, with a 5% critical chance and 10% status chance.
  • Shots can be charged to increase the damage inflicted, at the cost of consuming more shields:
    • Scales with the amount charged, up to a maximum of 100% damage and 450 shields at full charge.
    • Has a charge time of 2 seconds.
  • Shots have a fire rate of 0.833 rounds per second.
  • Shots have an explosion radius of 1 / 2 / 2 / 3 meters.
  • Damage is affected by Ability Strength and most secondary weapon mods.
    • For example, with  Hornet Strike,  Convulsion and  Intensify equipped, each shot will deal
      Base Damage × (1 + Damage Mods) × (1 + Elemental Mods) × (1 + Strength Mods) =
      500 × (1 + 2.2) × (1 + 0.9) × (1 + 0.3) = 3,952 damage.
    • The mods that affect Balefire Charger include:
      • damage (e.g.,  Pistol Amp and  Hornet Strike)
      • elemental (e.g.,  Convulsion)
      • multishot (e.g.  Barrel Diffusion)
      • critical (e.g.,  Pistol Gambit and  Target Cracker)
      • status chance (e.g.  Jolt)
      • fire rate (e.g.  Gunslinger)
      • faction damage (e.g.,  Expel Infested)
      • punch through (e.g.,  Seeker)
        • However, the projectile won't deal any damage while traveling through enemies.
      • explosion radius (e.g.,  Fulmination)
        • Range mods and Fulmination bonuses multiply. A fully ranked Balefire with Fulmination and Stretch will have: 3m × (1 + 24%) × (1 + 45%) = 5.4m, but Fulmination's effect will not be reflected on the ability card.
  • Balefire can not be equipped with Acolyte Mods (e.g.,  Sharpened Bullets) or Amalgam Mods (e.g.,  Amalgam Barrel Diffusion).
  • Riven Mods are not generated for the Balefire Charger.
• While  Aegis Storm is active, a second Balefire Charger will be equipped on Hildryn's left arm when using this ability. This is a purely cosmetic effect, and does not provide any tangible combat advantages.
• Balefire Charger can be used while riding a K-Drive by activating the ability before mounting the K-Drive and then switching to the secondary weapon as usual.
