Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

  • Combat Discipline - will increase the damage of this combat art and lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina will lower regeneration time

Usage Strategies

  • Can be modded as either a single enemy attack with debuffing power or as a multiple enemy attack with a chance for AoE damage.
  • By using the Chain Reaction and Explosion modifications, groups of enemies can be hit with AoE damage up to 3 times as the Cobalt Strike jumps between monsters.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduction of enemy stats (with the appropriate mod) will cause them to be increasingly vulnerable to subsequent attacks.
  • Works well in clustered groups of enemies with the AoE (Explosion) mod.

Cons

  • Not a true AoE, as it requires at least 2-3 enemies in a bunch for its full damage potential. A single monster will not be affected by AoE damage and will not result in a Chain.
  • The additional Magic damage over time to T-Mutants is pretty low and mutants are very resistant to Magic damage in general. It won't do much to improve Cobalt Strike's usability against them.
