Explosive Crossbow

An ignition-build cornerstone with a timing minigame: bolts plant a delayed burn, and casting your skill detonates everything early at quadruple ignition damage over a wider area. Tag a pack, pop the skill, watch the room clear — it wants ignition-damage and skill-uptime support.

Quick answer

PICK IT WHEN

Keep it when fire is the Transmutation your current relics and Tarot already reference. Its firing rhythm and effect matter more than the rarity label.

WATCH OUT

Switching weapons can abandon element progress. Only make the move when the new effect fixes a real problem or the old engine has stopped appearing.
