Influence Circuit

GeneralMelee Influence / parkour stick5 forma

Parkour velocity stick that clears with Electric Influence while priming slash on heavies — Sovereign Outcast keeps you airborne and Influence arcs Electric into packs.

Loadout

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

Mods Explained

Why each mod is in this Praedos loadout.

  • Primed Reach

    Exilus range so every Influence proc and parkour swipe hits more bodies — Praedos wants radius as much as raw swing damage.

  • Sovereign Outcast

    Stance that feeds parkour velocity and melee flow — keeps Praedos as a movement stick while Influence does the clearing.

  • Condition Overload

    Status-stacking damage multiplier that pays off once Viral/slash and Electric are on the target — Influence builds live on CO.

  • Galvanized Steel

    Crit chance and stacking crit damage that ramp with melee kills — turns combo into reliable Influence crits.

  • Weeping Wounds

    Combo-scaling status chance so Electric and slash stick faster as the multiplier climbs during parkour clears.

  • Blood Rush

    Combo-scaling crit chance that pairs with Galvanized Steel — heavy combo = Influence crit density on every swing.

  • Galvanized Elementalist

    Status damage and status chance that stack on kills — amplifies Electric Influence ticks and primed slash follow-through.

  • Voltaic Strike

    Electric + status dual-stat so Melee Influence has a reliable Electric source without burning a pure damage slot.

  • Shocking Touch

    Flat Electric damage that doubles down on Influence arcs — more Electric weight means stronger chain clears on packs.
