Basic Attack and Basic Attack Hit Trigger Improvements
We are separating Basic Attack On-Attack and On-Hit triggers from the damage calculation process, including when triggered by skills, and standardizing the rules for these effects.
We've made adjustments to preserve existing character interactions as much as possible while ensuring that these improvements do not negatively affect them.
Tooltip Trigger Clarifications
Moving forward, tooltips will distinguish between the following trigger conditions:
On-Attack: Triggers when a basic attack begins, before damage is dealt.
On-Hit: Triggers when a basic attack hits a target and deals damage.
Dealing damage with...: Triggers when dealing damage with a basic attack or skill that does not apply Basic Attack On-Hit effects.
Skills that can trigger Basic Attack On-Attack or On-Hit effects will also display these interactions in their expanded tooltips.
Area-of-Effect Rules for On-Attack and On-Hit Triggers
When these triggers apply to an area, the default rule will be that Basic Attack On-Attack and On-Hit effects activate on all targets within that area, unless the effect or item skill has a specific restriction.
Before: Effects only trigger on the first target hit.
After: Effects trigger on all targets within the area.
However, if an effect has a cooldown or is consumed when triggered, such as Biotic Infusion, it will only activate on the first target hit.
How these triggers apply may vary by character due to balance adjustments.
Basic Attack On-Attack and On-Hit Triggers - Blind, Evasion, and Block
Previously, Basic Attack On-Attack and On-Hit Triggers triggers were part of the damage calculation process. As a result, when damage was prevented by Blind, Evasion, or Block, related effects sometimes failed to activate or were consumed even though their damage was blocked.
These triggers will now be handled separately from damage calculation, with the following rules determining whether effects activate when damage is prevented.
On-Attack
The following changes apply to skills capable of triggering On-Attack effects.
Before: Basic Attack On-Attack effects do not activate if damage is blocked.
After: Basic Attack On-Attack effects activate even if damage is blocked.
Example: Camilo, equipped with Radar, hits an enemy with Q - Vuelta while Blinded.
Before: Photon Launcher does not activate.
After: Photon Launcher activates.
Basic Attack On-Attack effects triggered by regular basic attacks remain unchanged and will activate regardless of Blind, Evasion, or Block.
On-Hit
Before: On-Hit effects activate and are consumed even if damage is blocked, but the damage from those effects is prevented.
After: On-Hit effects do not activate or get consumed if damage is blocked.
Example: A character equipped with Elysian Halo lands a basic attack hit after using a skill while Blinded.
Before: Elysian Halo - Biotic Infusion activates and is consumed, but its damage is blocked.
After: Elysian Halo - Biotic Infusion does not activate and is not consumed.
Skills capable of triggering On-Hit effects will continue to have their skill damage blocked by Blind, Evasion, or Block, as before.
Example: Debi & Marlene Q - Hard Slash / Crescent Slash
Basic Attack On-Attack and On-Hit Triggers - Surveillance Cameras, Gadgets, and Environmental Objectives
When attacking shared objectives such as Surveillance Cameras, Gadgets, and environmental objectives, effects originating from characters will be handled separately from item skills and Augments.
Before: Basic Attack On-Attack and On-Hit effects from characters, item skills, and Augments all activate.
After: Only the character's own Basic Attack On-Attack and On-Hit effects activate.
Example: Jan, equipped with Elysian Halo, hits a Surveillance Camera with a basic attack after using a skill.
Before: Elysian Halo - Biotic Infusion is consumed, and Jan gains 1 stack of P - Unyielding.
After: Elysian Halo - Biotic Infusion is not consumed, but Jan still gains 1 stack of P - Unyielding.
