Rapid precision hits with Stasis weapons grant Frost Armor. Threaded Blast: Destroying a Tangle with Strand damage increases the radius of the explosion and its damage.

Strong against Unstoppable Champions. Authorized Mods: Scavengers: All Scavenger mods are discounted. Elemental Benevolence: Granting allies an elemental buff gives class ability energy. Cauterized Darkness: Stasis or Strand debuffed non-boss combatants take increased Solar damage from all sources.

Elemental Overdrive: Picking up an elemental pickup or Tangle grants increased damage to weapons of the same element.

Player Support Report

Daily Bonus Nonary Engrams Disabled

For a day, the daily bonus Nonary Engrams was not available. This has been resolved, and the daily bonus Nonary Engrams are now available again. (MoSadie’s note: At the time of the TWID, this was still being investigated. It has since been resolved.)

Astral Drake Helmet Update

There was a bug with the Stasis Drake Hunter Cowl that was temporally patched by removing the hood. This was later fixed and the hood was returned, but some players preferred the hoodless version. With the launch of The Edge of Fate, players can now choose which version they want to wear. Players who own the Astral Stasis Drake Hunter armor can claim the new “hoodless” version from the Special Deliveries Kiosk. This will also apply for anyone who purchases the armor in the future.
