Related traits

Explosives

• Aim-Assisted Rocket — Missile hits launch a rocket at your target. After enough rockets have been fired, an orbital strike is called instead. This trait has an internal cooldown.

Holosmith

• Crystal Configuration: Storm — Photon Forge skill 1 now fires explosive projectiles, but generates extra heat.

Notes

Anomaly:

This auto attack chain will sometimes execute much more slowly, or with aftercast gaps in between each, if its hotkey is pressed when entering Photo Forge.

• The full chain completes in about 2 seconds.
