MODERATORS
I don't Excal much, but I can tell you that Chromatic Blade lets him imbue Blast onto his Slash Dash.
it's been a hot minute since i've played, did blast get a buff? iirc, it only decreased accuracy
Boy did it get a buff, lol. The label effect is that it deals 30% of modded base damage to the target and anything in 5 meters per stack. If an enemy dies with Blast on them, they detonate as if they had 10 stacks on them for 3x modded base damage. The reality is it's complete spaghetti code: it double dips status and faction damage, and counts as a second weapon hit, meaning Xata builds get four hits (initial swing, Xata, blast, Xata again), each with successively more multiplication from faction and status damage. Not Excal related, but this excessive hit count is obvious on Blast snipers racking up thousands of sniper combo in a matter of minutes.
Even with just Furious Javelin, Chromatic Blastdash is a straight up nuke with high enough enemy densities. It's also a nuke with iframes. It's great.
oh boy, are snipers viable in normal missions now? hell yeah, that sounds like a great time.
Vectis and Rubico suffer from a low proc rate, and Perigale does too to a lesser extent, but Sporo and to a less extent Komo are dual action crowd clearers and priority killers. Lanka has some funny setups too with Xata and Nautilus, but it won't really priority kill. Nautilus can spam Cordon back to back due to the new companion Bond mods too.
Sporo got a new augment too. And Komo has full fire rate when zoomed in with the new Semi-Rifle Cannonade mod.
It explodes now! Blast procs explode after like 1.5 seconds, or at reaching 10 procs, or when the target dies. You get a lot more damage if you trigger it with the latter two conditions
Why is that meaningful? His #1 has a guaranteee slash proc but it doesn't affect blast specifically?
I hope I understood your question right: if you Slash Dash with Exalted Blade, you get the blade beams, and Chromatic Blade's status chance buff means it's easy to get guaranteed procs. If it's Blast, you get blast beams.
I played around with the build a bit, and depending on how enemies oblige Furious Javelin, I was getting blast dashes for 120k~2M, so it's quite powerful.
