Tips that save runs

  • Weapons with high status chance to maximize status damage.
  • Frames that enhance status effects or damage.
  • Emerald Archon Shards for additional status damage.
  • The damage increase is final multiplicative, applying after faction damage multipliers.
  • The damage increase is additive with other explicit status damage sources, like Emerald Archon Shards.

Mistakes that waste runs

  • Players might assume the status damage is additive with all damage types.
  • Players might overlook the punch through component of the mod.
  • Players might not understand the difference between multiplicative and additive damage stacking.
