•  Steel-Packed Powder — Explosions cause vulnerability.
•  Shrapnel — Explosions have a chance to cripple and cause bleeding on hit.

•  Lock On — Striking a stealthed foe triggers Invisible Analysis. Disabling a foe triggers Controlled Analysis. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, launch, taunt, and fear.
