Related traits

Explosives

• Short Fuse — Gain fury when you hit a foe with an Explosion.
• Steel-Packed Powder — Explosions cause vulnerability.
• Aim-Assisted Rocket — Missile hits launch a rocket at your target. After enough rockets have been fired, an orbital strike is called instead. This trait has an internal cooldown.
• Explosive Temper — Explosions grant stacking ferocity when they hit.
• Shrapnel — Explosions have a chance to cripple and cause bleeding on hit.
• Big Boomer — Deal increased strike damage to foes with a lower health percentage than you. Hitting with an Explosion heals you over a few seconds.

Inventions

• Soothing Detonation — Heal nearby allies when using a tool belt skill.

Tools

• Optimized Activation — Using tool belt skills grants vigor.
• Static Discharge — Discharge a bolt of lightning whenever you use a tool belt skill.
• Mechanized Deployment — Your tool belt skills gain reduced recharge. Tool belt skills remove conditions. Engage Photon Forge cannot activate this trait.
• Kinetic Battery — Gain Kinetic Charges when you use a tool belt skill. At maximum, charges gain a burst of speed.

Notes

• The rocket moves extremely slowly, due to its high arc. Up to its maximum range of 1,500 units, it can take approximately 5 seconds to land.
  • When underwater, the rocket fires immediately in a straight line and moves extremely fast.
• The projectile created by this skill can pass through some elements of environment that would cause standard projectiles to become obstructed.
• Damage value is shown without equipped weapon or kit and should not be used for power coefficient calculations.
• This skill is not ground-targeted while underwater and will activate the area effect on the targeted enemy.
