Info

  • Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.

Cast Changes

  1. Modifies Blazing Chakram with: Blazing Chakram Augment: Each enemy hit increases the ring's Damage by 2x and the chance for enemies to drop Health Orbs on death by +0.25x.
  2. Rank up the augment to unlock the full effect values.
  3. Costs a mod slot (and capacity) — only equip it when the change matters for your loop.

Worth the Slot?

  1. Worth it when the augment’s change is central to how you play Nezha.
  2. Skip it if the base Blazing Chakram already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.

Tips & Tricks

  • Read the battlefield first — cast Blazing Chakram when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Blazing Chakram with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Blazing Chakram still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 2, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Nezha.

Mission Use Cases

MissionHow to Use It

Mobile Defense / ExcavationUse Blazing Chakram to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsCast Blazing Chakram only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles.
Spy / Rescue / Quiet RoutesIf Blazing Chakram is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe.

Comparisons

  • VS

    Vs similar tools on other frames — Blazing Chakram is tuned for Nezha’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
