Gravitate

Gravitate is a Passive Ability for the

Ode Tempest

pact in Soulframe.

Kick whilst facing an enemy at range to grapple towards them, charging the Envoy's next melee or thrown attack with additional Voltaic damage.

• Performing a Kick towards a Foe from up to ~14m away (may scale with an as yet unknown Virtue) will grapple the Envoy towards the target, and grant an extra hit dealing 0/5/11/22 Voltaic damage on their next attack.
  • Unlike other Pact-specific kicks, at least one point must be invested in the Gravitate Pact Art for the grapple to be performed.
  • The grapple itself will not affect the targeted enemy. It deals no Damage, no Stagger, and does not alert enemies during Stealth. As such, it is an effective gap-closer for achieving stealth Finishers.
  • Attempting to kick an enemy from close range, rather than a distance, will perform a regular Kick instead of a grapple. This will behave as expected, dealing stagger and not applying the Gravitate buff.

• The Voltaic buff applies only to melee strikes, including Kicks and Unarmed strikes, or to thrown melee weapons. As such, it cannot be used by Magick Weapons, Flyblades, or ranged Bow attacks.
  • It can, however, be utilised by the heavy melee strikes of the Avex bow.
  • The buff applies to the Envoy, not to the equipped Weapon. An Envoy may grapple, then swap to their other weapon, and then deal Voltaic damage with the newly drawn weapon.

• The extra hit is affected by Enemy Armour.

• The buff only applies to a single attack. It lasts only a few seconds, and if the Envoy does not attack soon enough, it will expire.
  • There is no visual effect to indicate the duration of the buff - only its acquisition (lightning upon grapple) and its consumption (lightning upon strike).

• If a weapon is otherwise augmented with an additional damage type, such as Flame damage from a Rune, it will still benefit from the Voltaic damage - allowing it to deal three damage types at once.
