Loadout

Exilus on top, then eight general slots. Weapons have no Aura slot.

Mods Explained

Why each mod is in this Magistar loadout.

  • Dispatch Overdrive

    Exilus move speed after melee kills so Khora/Atlas stay mobile while the Magistar only exists to feed ability multipliers.

  • Crushing Ruin

    Stance slot filler that still works if you swing — the real damage is Whipclaw/Landslide inheriting Magistar mods.

  • Sacrificial Steel

    Crit chance that ability damage can inherit — Whipclaw Anchor wants every claw and landslide to crit off Magistar stats.

  • Amalgam Organ Shatter

    Crit damage backbone for inherited ability crits — pairs with Sacrificial Steel for Steel Path Whipclaw spikes.

  • Primed Pressure Point

    Flat melee damage that scales ability weapons hardest — classic Magistar stat-stick slot before faction and status.

  • Condition Overload

    Per-status damage multiplier so primed targets make Whipclaw and Landslide delete armor instead of tickling it.

  • Blood Rush

    Combo crit chance that still helps if you melee between casts — keeps the stick honest when abilities are on cooldown.

  • Weeping Wounds

    Combo status chance so Magistar swings help stack statuses that Condition Overload and abilities cash in on.

  • Primed Smite Grineer

    Faction multiplier that ability damage inherits against Grineer — Steel Path Whipclaw where Smite actually moves the needle.
