Blaze Away (1)Icon            Mechanics+X% Power for every 10% of magazine spent during continuous fire. Stacks 5 times.

stat buff:

While continuously firing shots, for every 10% of max ammo in clip spent, grants stacks (up to 5); stack calculation rounds down so if the clip size is 116, generates stacks for every 11 rounds fired (116x0.1=11.6, rounded down to 11). Per stack, increases the power level (see values below) of ranged attacks and DoTs while the weapon is equipped; stacks additively with other power level buffs, and multiplicatively with damage buffs.

'Continuous fire' refers to chaining shooting actions immediately after each other before weapon sway and spread reset fully. Removes all stacks when this shooting state is ended or on reload.

Continuous shots grant stacks (up to 5); generates first stack on the first shot (Kickback, Plasma Gun), or on second shot (Grenadier Gauntlet, Rumbler). Per stack, increases the power level (see values below) of ranged attacks, melee attacks (Grenadier Gauntlet), weapon special melee attacks (Kickback, Rumbler), weapon explosions and DoTs while the weapon is equipped; stacks additively with other power level buffs, and multiplicatively with damage buffs.

'Continuous fire' refers to chaining shooting actions immediately after each other before weapon sway and spread reset fully. Removes all stacks when this shooting state is ended; in this blessing's case, keeps stacks on chained reloads (Grenadier Gauntlet, Kickback, Rumbler).

Chained melee attacks (Grenadier Gauntlet) and chained weapon special melee attacks (Kickback, Rumbler) can generate stacks and benefit from the buff but drop all current stacks when shooting or entering alt fire mode.

For Plasma Gun, holding down right click after firing one shot, thereby continuing to charge, holds all stacks until vent or reload.

Blazing SpiritIcon            MechanicsEnemy gains + Stacks of Soulblaze on Critical Hit.

Ranged critical hits apply stacks of Soulblaze (see values below). Can apply Soulblaze through shields. Can apply up to 6 max Soulblaze stacks on a target.

Interaction with explosions

The alt fire of Trauma and Voidstrike creates explosions: Trauma Staff creates an explosion where the AoE is placed; Voidstrike creates an explosion on projectile impact. When this blessing is proc'ed by the alt fire explosions, Soulblaze is applied to all enemies within range. Note that enemies who are hit directly by the Voidstrike projectile receive 6 stacks immediately because they are hit twice, by the projectile and by the explosion that the projectile spawns.

Trauma Staff explosion radius: up to 6m (max), up to 2m (epicenter)

Voidstrike Staff explosion radius: up to m (max), up to 1.25m (epicenter)

Soulblaze: same as other sources of Soulblaze; lasts 8s; ticks every 0.75s; refreshes duration on stack application; very high armor damage modifiers across the board, very low armor damage modifier against Carapace.WeaponsTrauma Staff

DumdumIcon            Mechanics+X% Close Range damage on Repeated Hit. Stacks 5 times.

stat buff:

Consecutive ranged attacks and pushes (Laspistol weapon special) against enemies grant stacks (up to 5); generates first stack on second hit or push; stacks last 2s and can be refreshed during active duration; DoT ticks (Infernus) can apply and refresh stacks. Per stack, increases the damage (see values below) of ranged attacks and DoTs while the weapon is equipped against targets who are within 30m (see table); stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Against enemies within 12.5m, the damage buff increases damage with full effect. Beyond 12.5m, the damage buff decreases linearly until it loses its effect at 30m. For example, Tier 4 Dumdum at max stacks:

1m12.5m13m15m20m25m30m30%30%~29.1%~25.7%~17.1%~8.0%

Note that when a ranged weapon has an effective damage range greater than 30m (Infantry Autoguns, 37.5m), it appears that the buff is 'stretched over' the weapon's full effective range rather than cutting off at its natural 30m range.WeaponsInfantry Autoguns

FalterIcon            MechanicsIgnore X% Stagger Resistance on Weak Spot Hit.

stat buffs:

Grants a modifier that further reduces enemy stagger_reduction on weakspot hits which, overall, increases the stagger potential of ranged attacks on headshots. Additionally, increases ranged stagger strength by 30%.

How Stagger Works

This video is by far the best resource on this topic.

For an example, let's consider the following scenario: Staggering a firing Dreg Gunner who is within 7m distance to the player with the Infantry Lasgun Mk XII (with an 80% Stopping Power stat) on headshot. While the Gunner is actively firing, he has a stagger_reduction of 60. The Lasgun has a stagger strength of 7.3 against Unarmoured (within 7m) which is not enough to stagger the Gunner on headshot. He only flinches briefly, which is technically not a stagger, and resumes firing immediately. By default, an enemy's stagger_reduction is halved against weakspot hits. Yet, the Lasgun, even on weakspot hit, can stil not beat 30. With this blessing (Tier 4), on a weakspot hit, the Lasgun's stagger strength against Unarmoured within 7m is increased to 9.5 and the Gunner's stagger_reduction is now 60x0.5x0.1=3 which is low enough so that the Lasgun shot can beat it and then also put the Gunner, as per his stagger_resistance (of 2) and his stagger_thresholds, into a light stagger (for this, 1 is required; (9.5-3)/2=3.25). This is enough to cancel his ongoing attack.WeaponsHeadhunter Autoguns

Fan the FlamesIcon            MechanicsPrimary Attack ignores X% Stagger Resistance on Burning Enemies, as well as dealing +X% Impact.

stat buffs:

Only for the primary attack (left click burst), grants a modifier that reduces enemy stagger_reduction against enemies who are burning and increases ranged stagger strength (see values below); the ranged stagger buff stacks additively with related stagger buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs. Overall, this is meant to increase the stagger potential of Flamer's left click bursts against burning enemies.

How Stagger Works

This video is by far the best resource on this topic.

This blessing is mechanically very similar to the Falter weapon blessing. But in practice, it has very limited effect for the Flamer because the Flamer's left click burst already ignores enemy stagger_reduction by default (as per damage profile). And the additional ranged stagger strength is by far not enough to reach additional meaningful breakpoints (e.g. against Crushers) even if stacked with Zealot's talents Hammer of Faith and Punishment.WeaponFlamerStagger Reduction Modifier & Ranged Stagger Strength (per tier)40% & 30% | 50% & 35% | 60% & 40% |

Fire FrenzyIcon            MechanicsGain +X% Close Damage for 3.5 seconds after killing an enemy at close range, stacking 5 times.

stat buff:

When killing enemies who are within 12.5m with ranged attacks, grants stacks (up to 5); stacks last 3.5s and can be refreshed during active duration. Per stack, increases the damage (see values below) of ranged attacks and DoTs while the weapon is equipped against targets who are within 30m (see table); stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Against enemies within 12.5m, the damage buff increases damage with full effect. Beyond 12.5m, the damage buff decreases linearly until it loses its effect at 30m. For example, Tier 4 Fire Frenzy at max stacks:

1m12.5m13m15m20m25m30m50%50%~48.6%~42.9%~28.6%~14.3%0%

Note that when a ranged weapon has an effective damage range greater than 30m (Infantry Autoguns, 37.5m), it appears that the buff is 'stretched over' the weapon's full effective range rather than cutting off at its natural 30m range.WeaponsBraced Autoguns

Inspiring Barrage (1)Icon            Mechanics+X% Toughness for every 10% of magazine spent during continuous fire. Stacks 5 times.

function:

While continuously firing shots, for every 10% of max ammo in clip spent, grants stacks (up to 5); stack calculation rounds down so if the clip size is 29, generates stacks for every 2 rounds fired (29x0.1=2.9, rounded down to 2). Per stack, replenishes a fixed percentage of maximum toughness (see values below) and while at max stacks, keeps on proc'ing until out of ammo. The toughness amount replenished is neither affected by the toughness replenishment debuff while in toxic gas nor, if Ogryn, by the buff from Too Stubborn to Die. Procs additionally to toughness replenishments from talents like Zealot's The Voice of Terra, or Veteran's Confirmed Kill, Exhilarating Takedown or Out for Blood, or Ogryn's Bullet Bravado; does not interact with coherency toughness.

'Continuous fire' refers to chaining shooting actions immediately after each other before weapon sway or spread reset fully. Removes all stacks when this shooting state is ended or on reload.

(2) It allows critical ranged attacks to ignore the combined hit mass of all enemies hit.

Hit mass & cleave:

Every enemy has a specific hit mass, and every attack has a specific hit mass budget. In order to successfully cleave an enemy, an attack's (remaining) hit mass budget is required to be higher than the hit mass of the enemy that is to be cleaved.

For example, the slug special shot of the Combat Shotgun Mk VII has a max hit mass limit of 3. It can cleave one Dreg Stalker (2 hit mass) and hit a second one but it cannot cleave the second Dreg Stalker (2x2=4 total hit mass required). And naturally, it cannot cleave a single Plague Ogryn (20 hit mass). With this blessing, a critical slug special shot has its max hit mass limit set to infinite which means that it can cleave and damage all enemies that the attack is able to reach within its max range of 100m. Note that the slug special shot's damage cleave distribution still applies, so it deals its highest damage against all targets within 20m, decreasing damage against all targets until 40m, and its lowest damage against all targets beyond 40m. If an attack with infinite cleave applies a DoT (e.g. burn from fire special shot of the Combat Shotgun Mk IX or bleed from Flechette), the DoT will be applied to all hit enemies until the shot's hard range cutoff at 75m (Assault Shotgun) or 100m (Combat Shotguns).

Note that Carapace armor cannot be cleaved by default. This blessing does not allow to bypass Carapace's built-in aborts_attack mechanic: So even with 'infinite' cleave proc'ed, an attack will stop at the next Carapace armor hit zone (e.g. Crushers, or Bulwark shields).WeaponsAssault Shotgun

(Tier 2 only)

– –  N  – –

No RespiteIcon            MechanicsUp to +X% Damage on Hit (Staggered Enemy), scaling with Stagger.

stat buff:

For every instance of stagger applied to an enemy, increases the damage (see values below) of ranged attacks and DoTs while the weapon is equipped against the staggered enemy. This stacks up to 7 times. Note that there is nothing in the game that tells players about the active stagger count on an enemy and therefore about the blessing's current effective damage increase.

Generally, if an enemy is successfully staggered by an action (e.g. melee or ranged attacks, explosions, Voice of Command, pushes, etc) this applies one instance of stagger to the enemy; if this enemy is staggered again while still in staggered state, another instance of stagger is added. This stagger count has no effective limit and resets when the enemy recovers fully from being staggered. The blessing considers the first 7 staggers on an enemy for its stack calculation.

So, for example, the Headhunter Autogun Mk VII (with 80% Damage and Stopping Power stats) cannot kill a Scab Bruiser in one shot against the chest. When the Scab Bruiser is pushed 6 times in a row (without recovering from stagger) and then shot in the chest, he dies in one shot.WeaponsCombat Shotguns

buff keywords:

stat buff:

Increases melee stagger strength (see values below). Also, buffs melee attacks with the weapon special in two ways: (1) By default, Carapace armor cannot be cleaved. This blessing allows melee attacks with the weapon special to bypass Carapace's built-in aborts_attack mechanic so that Carapace armor can be cleaved. (2) Reduces enemy hit mass by 7 against melee attacks with the weapon special.

Hit mass & cleave:

Every enemy has a specific hit mass, and every attack has a specific hit mass budget. In order to successfully cleave an enemy, an attack's (remaining) hit mass budget is required to be higher than the hit mass of the enemy that is to be cleaved.

For example, the melee weapon special of the Kickback has a max hit mass limit of 10. It cannot cleave a single Mauler (10 hit mass) on headshot mainly because of Carapace's aborts_attack property, it will always stop on the first Mauler head. With this blessing, the melee weapon special can now cleave Carapace just like any other armor type and it can cleave three Maulers on headshot (3x10x0.25=7.5 total hit mass required) to hit a fourth one. It cannot cleave the fourth Mauler, however, since this would require a max hit mass limit greater than 4x10x0.25=10.

Note that both Kickback and Rumbler have very weird damage profiles for their melee weapon specials in regard to armor damage modifiers, damage cleave distribution, and stagger cleave distribution: The melee weapon specials deal damage to only the first two targets (no matter what) but can deal stagger to as many targets as the hit mass limit allows. The attacks also have an armor damage modifier that specifies no_damage against Carapace which results in the attacks dealing no damage (1 on headshots) against, for example, Crushers or Mauler heads despite still being able to stagger and (with this blessing) cleave them.

This blessing is currently bugged: The melee stagger strength is not applied.WeaponsKickback

stat buff:

Scaling with charge level, alt fire explosions apply a rending debuff ('brittleness') to enemies within range boosting damage against armor types Carapace, Flak, Maniac, Unyielding (including damage of explosions and DoTs).

Stacks additively with other rending debuffs ('brittleness'), and with rending buffs that only boost a character's own damage ('rending').

For example, with Tier 4 Rending Shockwave, 1 stack of the rending debuff is generated for every 12.5% of max charge level while charging the alt fire explosion. With an 0% Charge Rate stat, the explosion is fully charged after ~1.33s (or 0 frames); so every ~0.16s (or 10 frames) 1 rending debuff stack is generated while charging.

Terrifying BarrageIcon            MechanicsSuppress Enemies within Xm Radius on Close Range Kill.

function:

When killing enemies who are within 12.5m with ranged attacks, applies an amount of suppression (see values below) to all suppressible enemies around the player in a 12m radius. The amount of suppression dealt can be increased by related buffs from Ogryn's small suppression node, or Veteran's Competitive Urge, Keep Their Heads Down!, and small suppresion node, or Zealot's small suppression node.

Suppression

Supppression is a mechanic designed against ranged enemies who are not engaged in melee combat. Successfully suppressed enemies stop shooting and, if they are supposed to, seek cover or, alternatively, cower down on the spot. Each enemy has a specific suppression threshold that has to be surpassed to get suppressed and a specific maximum amount of suppression that can be applied to them; both the threshold and the max amount change with enemy combat ranges: melee range (8m), close range (12.5m), far range (m). When an enemy is suppressed, the suppression amount decays over time (the decay speed also changes with combat range). All ranged attacks (also explosions and abilities like Zealot's Holy Relic with Banishing Light) deal a specific amount of suppression: firing towards suppressible enemies accumulates suppression per shot and killing an enemy deals suppression in a specific area around the killed target.

For example, the Stub Revolver Mk IIa deals 2.5 suppression per shot and 12 suppression in a 4m radius around a killed target. Let's assume the player is surrounded by Dreg Stalkers who are within 12.5m to the player and engaged in ranged combat. While in this combat range, Dreg Stalkers have a suppression threshold of 20 and a suppression max amount of 35. Without the blessing, killing one Dreg Stalker adds suppression to others who are in a 4m radius around the killed target. The suppression amount of 2.5+12=14.5 is not enough to suppress them, they keep firing. With the blessing (Tier 4), suppression is added when killing a Dreg Stalker. So Dreg Stalkers who are within 4m of the killed target now take 2.5+12+=44.5 suppression total which surpasses their threshold of 20 and caps out their maximum of 35. They get suppressed and cower down. Furthermore, the blessing applies suppression to all Dreg Stalkers who are within 12m around the player which is enough to suppress these, too. The duration of how long the Dreg Stalkers will be suppressed then depends on the surplus above the threshold. Those Dreg Stalkers close to the killed target (35 suppression total) will recover after roughly 2.5s to 3s and those suppressed only by the blessing ( suppression total) will recover slightly faster (note that there is a randomness factor in the decay calculation to make it feel more natural by avoiding that all units recover at the same time).

Breeds that can be suppressed: Groaners, Dreg Gunners, Dreg Stalkers, Reapers, Scab Gunners, Scab Shooters, Scab Stalkers
