The Whispers in the Walls introduced a new feature that bestows melee weapon users a huge benefit, which is known as Tennokai.
This is a feature that is activated by equipping one of the Tennokai Mods which can be purchased by the Tenno or obtained by doing Alchemy missions.
Once equipped with a melee weapon (Exilus Slot), there will be certain times when you can perform a Heavy Attack without consuming your combo meter.
How To Get Tennokai Mods?
Tennokai Mods have a chance to drop from Rotation C on the Alchemy mission called Cambire, which can be found on Deimos.
Alchemy is a new mission type that requires that players mix elements in a Crucible by picking up Amphors that are dropped by enemies.
Amphors contain primary elements and these need to be brought to the Crucible to create a secondary element. (Elemental Combination)
The following are the drop chances of each Tennokai Mod:
- Condition’s Perfection (12%)
- Discipline’s Merit (6%)
- Dreamer’s Wrath (6%)
- Master’s Edge (12%)
- Opportunity’s Reach (12%)
