Superconductor is a tier 4 skill in Athena's Ceraunic Storm skill tree. This skill causes the Aspis to have a chance to shock nearby enemies when struck from a projectile or melee attack. When this occurs, you gain bonus Maelstrom stacks.

Effects[]

  • Bonus Stacks of the Maelstrom: 5
  • Shock Chance: +10% per skill level
Level 1 2 3 4 5
Shock Chance 10% 20% 30% 40% 50%
Level 6 7 8 9 10 11
Shock Chance 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 110%

Additional levels may only be acquired through the use of a Defender or Hologram class mod.

Notes[]

  • When the skill is increased to level 11, a chance to shock is shown in the game equal to 110%. This translates to a guaranteed chance to shock when struck, with an additional 10% for it to trigger again from the same attack.
  • Superconductor shocks have a low probability of applying an electrocute status effect. A suitable Duality Oz Kit can increase this probability when fighting in a vacuum.
  • Regardless of how many points are put into this skill, you only get 5 bonus Maelstrom stacks when it triggers. You still gain a Maelstrom stack for each enemy who takes the shock damage, plus any additional stacks gained when an enemy is electrocuted from this effect.
