Charged With Light Mod Overview

I'm sure you've heard of Charged With Light mods before, but there's so many and some are element sectional and only what the heck are you supposed to do to use them?? If you've been in that location, this guide is here to help!

Why Should I Utilise These Mods?

They're kind of insane. You desire a massive gratuitous damage boost on Rocket Launchers, Swords, or Sidearms? They can do that. You desire to improve your survivability massively in one case your wellness hits critical? They can practise that. You desire to spam the hell out of your melee ability? You tin practice that. Desire to two-tap with 120s in Crucible just by getting a double kill? Yous can practise that.

Charged With Light mods are like a miniature subclass you lot tin can build. You can gain and lose Charges however you like to play. Utilize Pulse Rifles a lot? Run Swift Charge. Adopt only mowing downward adds even so you experience like? Run Charge Harvester. They're adaptable, fun, and easy to utilise. Some even improve your stat build! All you need is a Xanthous mod and a Dark-green mod equipped.

The Basics

Starting out, Charged With Light (referred to equally CWL from here on) mods come in three types: the green chargers, the yellowish consumers, and the white miscellaneous. In lodge to be able to use CWL mods,

y'all must take both a charger and a consumer equipped on your armor.

Alternatively, if you wish to be dependent on allies for your Charges, you can run just a consumer modernistic. Yous will always gain and keep Charges until you hitting max, even if you swap mods (though swap strats are grossly impractical). Charges do null unless consumed past a consumer modern, therefore at that place is no reason to go along them every bit a passive vitrify.

Yes, Charged With Light works in PvP, but y'all may discover it a impact hard to work with, depending on the mods of choice.

You can hold up to two Charges of Light at a time by default, and every Charge-granting modern just grants ane Accuse at a fourth dimension. Excessive Charges are discarded. There are white miscellaneous mods that can boost how many Charges you gain at a fourth dimension and how many Charges y'all can hold. Yous lose all Charges of Light on decease.

It is more often than not practiced practice to have only one yellowish consumer mod equipped at a fourth dimension, as your Charges of Light tin can be hands exhausted through the various consumption methods.

Next is the armor. Non-Legendary armor cannot equip Charged With Light mods, as they lack Seasonal mod slots. Other than that, any Legendary can equip any standard CWL mod. Thank goodness, because earlier Beyond Low-cal it was seasonally locked!

Lastly, one may have noticed that Arc and Void CWL mods come up with boosted effects. These furnishings are granted whether or non yous hold a Charge of Light or have a greenish-yellowish CWL modernistic pairing to use Charges. Arc mods grant an additional effect if another Arc-specific mod is equipped in the same armor or if a CWL-themed Arc mod is slotted in another equipped armor slice, and Void mods inflict a flat -x penalization to a specified armor statistic. This penalisation will be inflicted direct to your stat spread, not the armor'south stats, so y'all tin can't outsmart the developers past equipping a -10 Recovery modern onto an armor with 2 Recovery and escaping with viii Recovery. As a caveat to these effects, Arc mods cost more than and Void mods cost less, generally.

To give Solar CWL xanthous consumer mods an edge, you tin can stack copies across armor to increment the effect! The heave is multiplicative, non additive. Equally a downside, the stackable Solar mods tend to exist weaker on their own. This stacking effect does non apply to greenish charger mods.

Becoming Charged- Green Charger Mods

Organized by chemical element, and then by chronological season.

Taking Charge
- universal chemical element
- 3 Energy cost
- Activation rate: constant with Masterworked weapons, rare without, situational in Crucible
- When picking up an Orb of Low-cal, as well gain a Charge of Light. Does not employ to Motes of Light from Gambit or other souces (because someone has asked).
- Notes: very piece of cake to activate (a definite go-to), practically free in PvE with Masterworked weapons as orbs driblet from every ii MW weapon kills, great with Wards of Dawn or Wells of Radiance allies in PvP, will consume an Orb even at full Super if your Charges are non full (allowing yous to actuate Leg Orb mods more often!)
Shield Suspension Charge
- universal element
- 1 Energy cost
- Activation charge per unit: rare or never depending on activity
- Breaking an enemy elemental shield with its same element (causing the shield burst) grants a Accuse of Light. Does not work on Guardian shield break.
- Notes: situational, way too dependent on enemies you face and when yous confront them, proficient for Strikes when yous're using a low-activation-rate yellow consumer modern, very cheap to slot into armor, recommended if it's 'costless' to implement into a build
Empowered Stop
- universal chemical element
- 1 Energy cost
- Activation rate: depends on Intellect and use of Finishers
- Successfully performing a Finisher on an enemy grants a Charge of Low-cal.
- Notes: like shooting fish in a barrel to use with coordinated allies in PvE, sluggish when paired with high-activation-rate yellowish consumer mods, useless in PvP, very inexpensive to slot into armor, bang-up on a fast-charging Super build, prioritize "Taking Charge" if Energy cost is not a concern
Elemental Charge
- Only on Beyond Light or newer armor, and Exotics
- universal chemical element
- 2 Energy cost
- Activation rate: abiding with allies running Well mods, uncommon solo with Elemental Ordnance or Elemental Armaments, very rare solo with Elemental Low-cal

- iii Free energy toll
- Activation rate: uncommon, depends on Warmind build
- Collecting a Warmind Cell past walking over it grants a Charge of Low-cal.
- Unlike most Arc CWL mods, this 1 does not come with a second effect.

Swift Charge
- Arc chemical element
- 5 Energy cost, half-dozen+ with Arc mod pairing if for second effect
- Activation charge per unit: semi-common in lower end PvE, uncommon to never in college end PvE and Crucible

- Killing 2 enemies with (any ammo blazon) Grenade Launchers or Rocket Launchers within about three seconds of one some other grants a Charge of Light. This is too true in Crucible.

- Solar chemical element
- iii Energy cost
- Killing 2 enemies with a Warmind Cell explosion grants a Accuse of Light.
- Activation rate: uncommon in lower end PvE, rare to never in higher cease PvE, dependent on Warmind Cell build
- Notes: easy to actuate, pairs well with Seventh Seraph or IKELOS weapons, amazing in wave defense, only grants 1 example of Charge once per explosion, finicky with "High-Free energy Burn down" existence consumed on cell explosion (and thus this combo is all-time avoided)
Sustained Charge
- Solar chemical element
- 4 Energy toll
- Activation rate: semi-common in lower stop PvE, uncommon to never in college stop PvE and Crucible
- Killing 3-4 enemies with Machine Rifles, Trace Rifles, or Auto Guns within about 3 seconds of 1 another grants a Charge of Low-cal. Guardian double(?) kills grant a Charge.
- When stacked: Increases the time between kills to activate, untested for timing bonus.

- Notes: trades less grade power spam for ease of use, pairs very well with multikill mods every bit a second Charge source

Using Charges- Yellow Consumer Mods (Universal/Arc/Solar)

Organized by element, then by chronological season. 'Activation charge per unit' refers to how often when the modernistic will activate when you take a Charge of Light, and could also be called the 'charge consumption charge per unit.'

High-Energy Fire
- Universal element
- 4 Energy cost
- Activation rate: fast when unmanaged, upwards to never when managed
- Until you impale an enemy with weapons, you deal 20% increased impairment with weapons. This buff does not stack with buffs like Well of Radiance, Whisper of Hedrons, or Weapons of Light. Consumes a Charge of Light on a weapon kill.
- Notes: Only weapon kills will eat a Accuse of Low-cal (and not anything else!), incredible for dominate DPS, can be hands maintained in a pinch if y'all finish enemies with melees/finishers/Supers/grenades/etcetera instead of weapons
Striking Lite
- Arc element
- 5 Energy price, 6+ with Arc mod pairing if for second outcome
- Activation rate: rapid-fast with Sword, uncommon when unmanaged, slow when managed
- Killing an enemy with a melee or Sword drops 1 Orb of Light for allies (non cocky) and consumes a stack of Accuse of Light on activation. Only drops 1 Orb per Charge consumption.
- When paired with another Arc modernistic, grants impairment resistance while sprinting. The damage resistance is theorized to be 20% and will only piece of work against PvE enemies.
- Notes: pairs INCREDIBLY with "Taking Charge" on allies, pairs great with shoulder bashing Titans, chop-chop chain-activates if using a Masterworked Sword and "Taking Charge" in a oversupply
Heavy Handed
- Arc element
- seven Energy cost, 8+ with Arc mod pairing if for second effect
- Activation rate: rapid-fast on a melee build, otherwise variable to Strength stat and melee tendencies
- Regain half your melee energy when consuming a melee accuse (no impale required) at the cost of a Charge of Low-cal.
- When paired with another Arc modernistic and when surrounded by 3+ enemies, kills with a Fusion Rifle, Shotgun, Sidearm, or Submachine Gun fill up its mag from reserves. This distance is roughly the same as the distance of the activation of Surrounded.
- Notes: astonishing on whatever melee build, neat for utility melees like Titan-Void top tree or Warlock-Solar center tree, worth more the worse your Forcefulness is
Lucent Blade
- Arc chemical element
- iv Energy cost, 5+ with Arc mod pairing if for 2d effect
- Activation charge per unit: rare when managed
- On landing any kind of Sword strike (heavy or light!), consume a Accuse to grant a 35% impairment vitrify to Sword damage called 'Keened' for 6 seconds. Keened does non activate immediately on the first strike, but rather activates a moment afterwards the initial hit (this means a Sword must land a lite assault first to go the damage boost for a heavy attack). Keened stacks with Sword-innate perks like Surrounded only not other external buffs like High-Energy Burn or Weapons of Light.
- When paired with an Arc mod on the aforementioned equipped armor, also grants a strong boost to Sword energy recharge charge per unit.
- Notes: admittedly a necessity for Sword utilize in full general for both damage and recharge rate, DO Non Apply Nether THE EFFECTS OF WELL OF RADIANCE AS WELL CURRENTLY OVERRIDES YOUR 35% WITH ITS 25%
Reactive Pulse
- Arc chemical element
- three Energy toll, 4+ with Arc mod pairing if for second event
- Activation charge per unit: constant
- When taking damage while somewhat near an enemy, pulse a boom of Arc energy to inflict damage and perhaps stagger enemies and consume a Accuse. Its explosion radius is roughly 7 meters wide?
- When paired with an Arc modern, too grants a stiff overshield while performing Finishers. The overshield is theorized to be about 200 HP, an effective doubling of your wellness.
- Notes: a groovy 'hands-free' animate room creator thanks to the stagger, pairs excellently with any Finisher mods or Exotics, damage appears to scale with enemy level, kills count as grenade kills for some reason
Heal Thyself
- Solar element
- 4 Energy cost
- Activation rate: somewhat common when managed, uncommon when unmanaged
- Unstacked: Kills with a grenade heal you about 20% wellness and do not trigger wellness regeneration when doing and so for one Charge of Light. Merely activates once per grenade.
- When stacked: grants ~50% wellness recovery with two copies, ~80% with three copies, total heal with 4 copies
- Notes: adequately garbage with only one stack of modern, always stack with at least one other copy if used, situational and awkward to apply for panic-healing, 4 stacks is overkill in do, Energy opportunity cost for effective use
Firepower
- Solar element
- 4 Energy cost
- Activation rate: rapid-fast on grenade build, variable with Subject
- Unstacked: Grants 10% grenade energy on using your grenade, consuming a Accuse of Light.
- When stacked: grants ~22% energy on two copies, ~45% free energy on three copies, ~56% energy on four copies
- Notes: way too heavy of an investment to exist useful compared to other builds (opportunity cost), a practiced general selection if you lot wish for more grenades, worth more the worse your Discipline is
Silver Ordnance
- Solar element
- 5 Energy price
- Activation rate: rare but varies with Rocket Launcher utilise
- Unstacked: Grants xx% increased harm to both explosion and direct hit damage of your next Rocket Launcher shot, consuming a Charge of Light on firing. This is indicated to occur on your next shot with the 'Godslayer Warheads' buff.
- When stacked: +xxx% damage on two stacks, nigh +35% impairment on three or four stacks (no further event). Like all damage boosts of this type, this will non stack with external buffs similar Weapons of Light or Well of Radiance.
- Notes: 2+ stacks of mod a necessity for Rocket Launcher DPS, having ii+ Charges of Light when activating Argent Ordnance and using Truth (or whatever 2+ magazine Rocket Launcher) allows the total quickly-emptied magazine to possess the damage boost from i Charge consumption rather than merely buffing a unmarried shot, as well turns 2-Tailed Play a trick on into an ammo-efficient boss DPS monster for equally many Charges of Light equally you can conduct
Kindling the Flame
- Solar chemical element
- 5 Energy price
- Activation charge per unit: dependent on ally death charge per unit
- Grants a healing effect to allies inside 10(?) meters when an ally is revived by you, removing a Accuse in the process. Presuming this triggers the same mode as Heal Thyself, it will grant 20/50/fourscore/100% healing according to modern count but will not trigger health regeneration.
- Notes: untested and hard to test effectively, better equipment out there for this sort of issue

Due to the size of these descriptions and the character cap per section, Void has been divide from the rest of the list.

Extra Reserves
- Void chemical element
- 3 Energy toll, -10 Intellect
- Activation rate: dependent on what your Void damage source is
- When you kill an enemy with whatever class of Void impairment, all Charges are consumed to grant a chance at Special ammo dropping with the odds increasing with the number of stacks consumed.

- Reloading or readying your Sidearm consumes all Charges you have to grant a 35% impairment buff called "Charged Magazine" to that Sidearm for v shots (non burst!) landed per Charge consumed. Merely consumes Charges on reload in one case all stacks of "Charged Mag" are spent.
- Notes: formerly granted a 100% damage boost, pairs cracking with "Swift Charge" and "Stacks on Stacks", pairs poorly with iii-round burst Sidearms similar High Albedo every bit every round in the burst consumes a "Charged Magazine" buff
Energy Converter
- Void element
- four Energy price, -10 Subject
- Activation charge per unit: uncommon, dependent on grenade use and Super energy
- Grants roughly 10% Super per Accuse consumed when you throw your grenade. This boost will not push your Super meter higher up 50%, but volition always eat every Charge yous hold when it grants Super. Therefore if you are higher up 50% Super free energy, y'all will non lose your Charged With Calorie-free stacks and your Super will not increase.
