Ability Cartridges? Does red percent numbers means bad?

[Meadow Daydream]

I think I am reading that correctly. When I see Ability Cartridges does the Red numbers mean bad?

pretty much yeah

Red means STOP, DON'T USE THAT.

[jashinsamael]

yes, except Hate.
It make the enemies more focused on your friends instead of you, which may slightly beneficial for you,

[Last Light]

Yes. Besides arguably Hate, absolutely every Cartridge will hurt you in some way if it's red.

[Ponza]

Strong agree, with that exception of Hate reduction, red numbers are bad. I don't even know if Hate even works, since I haven't played enough co-op.

depends i think the only red one worth taking is reaction and that is if you use wing zero beam like attacks as it seem it prolongs animation with lower reaction so more damage from beams, if you have high reaction then damage is reduced

this is very interesting, and also probably one of the stupidest game design, and it may affecting a lot of people without they realize it. Thank you for the info.

Multi-hit beam attack apparently is affected by performance stat, and when you have higher performance stat, the beam will go through the enemy faster and cause less hits dan deals less damage. Lowering performance seems counter intuitive, but it does increase beam damage by a lot.

yes very bad.....stay away from them

[Tenshu]

These people don't know what they're talking about. Red numbers are good, find three slot cartridges with nothing but red numbers. HP Capacity at -300% makes you god tier, no lie.

Maybe? Think about it though. Virtue is one of the bigger and slower units which has a long streaming beam attack. So big and slow = more firepower (bt I agree it's still a dmb way to do it lol)

yeah saw it explained in a video might be a bug or intended who knows as of now lowering performance do help with single target

Most likely an oversight, it could be fixed by adjusting the damage tick speed to also increase with the Reaction Speed buff.
