Blast Chip
Mythic Engraving · Burst AOE · Explosive pulses around struck enemies.
Overview
Blast Chip is a Mythic Engraving that triggers explosions around enemies you hit, shredding clustered mobs and deleting waves in tight corridors.
Mythic Engraving
Role: Burst AOE
Best for: Mobbing / Wave Clear
Effect Details
- Creates explosive blasts around struck enemies, dealing high AOE damage in a small radius.
- Synergizes with multi-target hits and cleave weapons to chain detonation across packs.
- Helps keep aggroed groups under control, reducing time-to-kill for farming routes.
Best Builds & Synergy
- Wide cleave weapons: Great Swords and Colossal Swords to tag multiple enemies per swing.
- Crowd funnels: Use chokepoints to stack mobs, then detonate for maximum AOE value.
- Control pairing: Add Chill Dust to slow mobs so explosions fully connect.
How to Use
- Group mobs before swinging; AOE scales with how many targets you tag.
- Blend light/heavy strings to keep a steady explosion cadence without overcommitting stamina.
- Rotate into single-target runes (Flaming Spark) for bosses where AOE is wasted.
Farming & Progression Tips
- Farm dense cave floors or mob events; Blast Chip shines when enemy density is high.
- Carry Miner Shard when mining, then swap back to Blast Chip for combat routes.
- Enhance weapons for rune slots so you can pair Burst (Blast Chip) with Sustain (Drain Edge).
