When it comes to Warframes that rely heavily upon Ability Strength to power up their abilities, one of the best Arcanes that you can get is Molt Augmented.
This works extremely well in games that take some time to complete such as Defense, Survival, and Excavation missions as they rely on stacks.
If you are using a Warframe that tends to get a lot of kills in a game, you can ensure they get a huge boost in Ability Strength this Arcane.
How To Get Molt Augmented?
Molt Augmented can be purchased from Cavalero on Zariman Ten‑Zero for 10,000 standing, but you must first reach Rank 5 (Angel) with The Holdfasts to unlock it.
Aside from purchasing, Molt Augmented can drop from specific enemies in Zariman Ten‑Zero missions, giving you a chance to acquire it while farming naturally.
Void Angels provide the best drop chance and are guaranteed to appear in larger rooms during missions, while Ravenous Void Angels spawn mostly at the end of Void Armageddon cycles.
Thrax Centurions and Thrax Legatus have lower drop rates, so defeating many of them may eventually reward the Arcane, but they are less efficient than Void Angels.
The following enemies can drop Molt Augmented:
- Thrax Centurion (0.33%)
- Thrax Legatus (0.33%)
- Void Angel (1.67%)
- Ravenous Void Angel (0.67%)
Molt Augmented Effects
When your Warframe is equipped with Molt Augmented, it will gain a bonus to ability strength whenever an enemy is killed, stacking for each kill.
The source of the kill does not matter and can either be from weapons, abilities, and even external parts of the mission until it ends, meaning even if you die the stacks remain.
This will boost your overall Ability Strength, improving all the abilities that are affected by the said stats with the bonus from Molt Augmented.
Molt Augmented Stats
Arcane Rank | Bonus Ability Strength | Max Bonus |
0 | 0.04% | 10% |
| 1 | 0.08% | 20% |
2 | 0.12% | 30% |
| 3 | 0.16% | 40% |
4 | 0.20% | 50% |
| 5 | 0.24% | 60% |
At Rank 0, Molt Augmented will provide 0.04% additional Ability Strength per kill and can stack up to 10% until the end of the mission.
At its highest rank, this number is bolstered to 0.24% Ability Strength per kill and can reach a maximum of 60% bonus Ability Strength.
For every Arcane Rank, the bonus Ability Strength per kill is increased by 0.04% while the maximum bonus increases by 10% increase per rank.
Verdict
When it comes to Warframes that deal damage using their abilities, getting a lot of kills quickly can allow you to reach the maximum stacks early.
It will take up to 250 enemy kills to get the maximum number of stacks and this will persist until the end of the mission even if you die.
Kills only done by your Warframe and their other sources (tracked in mission progress) will only be counted when it comes to stacks.
