Obtainable through the [Absolute Pulsation - Kumokiri] Featured Weapon Convene.

Adjusted the effects of Havoc Bane, Fusion Burst, Glacio Chafe, and Electro Flare.
[Havoc Bane]
Some Havoc attacks will apply a stackable Havoc Bane effect to the target.
While Havoc Bane lasts, the DEF of the inflicted target is reduced. Havoc Bane stacks up to 3 times by default, with each stack reducing the target's DEF by 2%.
[Fusion Burst]
Some Fusion attacks will apply a stackable Fusion Burst effect to the target.
When Fusion Burst is stacked to its max, all stacks will be removed to trigger an explosion, dealing Fusion DMG around the target. Fusion Burst effect stacks up to 10 times by default. The higher the stacks, the more DMG dealt.
[Glacio Chafe]
Some Glacio attacks will apply a stackable Glacio Chafe effect to the target.
When Glacio Chafe is inflicted, the target receives Glacio DMG. Glacio Chafe stacks up to 10 times by default. The higher the stacks, the more DMG dealt. Each stack of Glacio Chafe effect reduces the target's Movement Speed.

While Electro Flare lasts, it deals periodic Electro DMG to the target. The target loses half of the effect stacks with each instance of damage. Electro Flare stacks up to 10 times by default. The higher the stacks, the more DMG dealt.
At maximum stacks of Electro Flare, any new stack inflicted becomes stackable Electro Rage. Electro Rage increases the DMG dealt by the next Electro Flare trigger.

Through the Auto Supplement screen, you can see what materials you have and how many more you need, and use Synthesis, Conversion, or Supply Packs to obtain the rest of the required materials.
During Purification, if low-rarity materials are insufficient, the system will begin searching for lower-rarity materials and Supply Packs to auto-fill the required material list until all requirements are met.
