Changes: The Nth Degree

Revision as of 16:37, 3 December 2019

The Nth Degree is a skill in Gaige's Ordered Chaos skill tree. After the (N - 1)th bullet hits an enemy, she will receive a stack of this skill. The next time a bullet hits an enemy, this stack will be expended, and the bullet will ricochet to hit another enemy.

Skill Progression

Definition of N	9	8	7	6	5

^{There are no class mods that boost this skill beyond 5 levels.}

The value of N is equal to 10 - (Skill Level)

Notes

Bullets that ricochet by the effect of Nth Degree, after they were previously ricocheted by the effect of Close Enough, will provide 100% damage of the originally fired shot.
All bullet impacts owned by the player count towards the next countdown to Nth Degree. This includes bullets reflected by Nth Degree; functionally, this reduces the bullets per cooldown by 1, from 9 to 8 at level 1, or from 5 to 4 at level 5. It also allows piercing bullets to activate the skill for each struck enemy; for example, a Railer piercing one enemy and then hitting another would increment the skill twice.
Putting a single point in this skill is worthwhile in situations with more than one enemy, as it provides an effective 12.5% damage boost. However, successive points after the first add significantly less to the effect, in a manner similar to the Guided Missile skill from Borderlands. For instance, with two points, a total of 14.3% damage is added, a mere 1.8% damage bonus improvement. From the third point on, each point provides a slightly better bonus than the second point, but never more than 5%. Maxing out the skill gives a total effective damage bonus of 25%.
The Nth Degree enables Gaige to hit enemies that are behind cover.
The effectiveness of the Nth Degree is substantially reduced when using slow-moving projectiles. Reflected bullets aim directly at enemies, often causing them to miss against smaller, moving targets.

-*Putting a single point in this skill is worthwhile in situations with more than one enemy, as it provides an effective 11.1% damage boost. However, successive points after the first add little to the effect, in a manner similar to the [[Guided Missile]] skill from the first game. For instance, with two points, a total of 1.4% damage is added and with 3 points, around 1.13%. From 4 Points onwards the additional damage boost rises again to a little bit less than 2,4% and maxed out the skill gives a bonus of 20%.

-**It should be noted however, that The Nth Degree enables the player to hit enemies, that are behind cover, economizes ammo and gives a way bigger damage bonus, if combined with [[Anarchy]] and Close Enough.
