Enhancement Cores Use
Enhancement Cores are mainly used for upgrading your gear, including weapons and pieces of armor, allowing you to further improve stats or elements.
You can improve the stats of your weapons with Enhancement Cores and work them to Masterwork on the 10th upgrade.
Increasing the energy slots of your armor will cost Enhancement Cores, higher levels will cost more of these to upgrade further.
You can change the Affinity (element) of your armor and when choosing the higher level (choose 1 energy or 6) you will need to add an Enhancement Core.
When used as a currency, Enhancement Cores may be used to buy Upgrade Modules and Enhancement Prisms from Banshee-44 at the Tower.
