The Scale
The rating system used is meant to indicate general usefulness. The star ratings are by no means hard and fast rules. Some skills, such as Matched Set, are amazing when built around but because they require special attention they do not receive high ratings.
Sub-par: These are the skills that are generally bad and its really hard to make them worthwhile.
Below Average: These are skills that can be useful but requires you to build around them a bit, just throwing them in to move down a tree is a usually bad idea because there are better options. They can be stars for specific builds, however they don’t play nicely with builds that don’t specifically aim to utilize them.
Average: These are the skills that are solid choices to move to the skills you really want. They do good work for your build, however they’re unlikely to be game changing for you unless you really focus on making it so.
Great: These skills will make the game much easier and should be taken always if you are at that point in the tree they are located in.
Outstanding: Skills of this rating will be game changers that you base your build and play style around, they should be taken with almost every set up if you are in that tree.
Selfless Vengeance
Whenever Moze reloads, she loses a small portion of her health and grants additional Incendiary Damage to her and her allies’ rounds.
At 1/5:
Current Health Removed: 1%
Bonus Incendiary Damage: +3% of gun damage dealt
Duration: 6 Seconds
At 5/5:
Current Health Removed: 5%
Bonus Incendiary Damage: +15% of gun damage dealt
Duration: 10 Seconds
A poor skill, triggering it is anti-synergistic to Moze’s skills. Moze does not have skill tree boosts to reload speed and offers skills in both Bottomless Mags and Demolition Woman that are anti synergistic to reloading. Short Fuse however does not benefit from Selfless Vengeance, and this is crippling to the overall damage Selfless Vengeance offers.
Security Bear
Iron Bear gains a bubble shield that reduces damage taken.
The shield deactivates if it sustains too much damage, reactivating after a short cooldown.
50% Iron Bear Max Health added as Shields
Bubble Recharge Delay: 5 sec
This is a physical shield that Iron Bear projects out. It will block damage until it is depleted, with a capacity equal to 50% of Iron Bear’s armor, and will instantly heal to full after 5 seconds of not taking damage. Security Bear also provides a 25% damage reduction to Iron Bear, even if the shield is depleted. This significantly improves Iron Bear’s survival.
If you or a teammate stands in the bubble it will prevent you from taking damage but you will not receive any damage reduction after it is depleted.
Armored Infantry
While Moze’s shields are active, she gains Damage Reduction and increased Gun Damage.
At 1/5:
Damage Reduction: +3%
Gun Damage: +3%
At 5/5:
Damage Reduction: +13%
Gun Damage: +15%
A solid all purpose skill that synergizes with everything Shield of Retribution aims for. Further investment in Shield of Retribution leads to this becoming nearly always on. Its a nice to have and generally the recommended way to progress the tree if you are after skills later in the tree.
Drowning in Brass
Kill Skill. Killing an enemy grants Moze a stack of Drowning in Brass. Moze can have at most 3 stacks at any one time.
For each stack of Drowning in Brass, Moze’s Fire Rate is reduced, but Gun Damage is increased for both her and her allies. Drowning in Brass stacks last 15 seconds each.
At 1/5:
Moze Fire Rate: -0.5% per stack.
Gun Damage: +4% per stack.
At 5/5:
Moze Fire Rate: -2.5% per stack.
Gun Damage: +20% per stack.
An excellent skill. Fairly easy to build up stacks, this skill is the foundation on which Moze builds momentum in any encounter. The small sacrifice in fire rate is well worth the extra damage. That the skill applies to teammates and Iron Bear too is just bonus. The only drawback to Drowning in Brass is that it is 1 of many options Moze has for increasing gun damage and can be prone to diminishing returns with popular anoints such as Consecutive hits.
Thin Red Line
A portion of Moze’s health is Reserved and cannot be restored, but her Maximum Shield is increased by the same amount.
At 1/3:
+20% Max Health Reserved and Added to Max Shields.
At 3/3:
+60% Max Health Reserved and Added to Max Shields.
2/3 Thin Red Line synergizes with other SoR skills. It leads to more up time for Armored Infantry since your shields are up longer and means that Tenacious Defense will have more shields to restore.
A catch to 2/3 Thin Red Line is that it gives you a smaller buffer above health gate, this can lead to FFYL cycles. This isn’t a problem for most content, however Takedowns and Slaughter Shaft are areas where the bigger shield isn’t always worth the reduced health.
3/3 points in Thin Red Line should be carefully considered, as after that Moze loses the safety of Health gate. If your build cannot restore shields while taking damage then Health Gate is a better defensive mechanic. Attacks that can 1-shot any shield size, such as Wotan’s grenades, makes giving up health gate risky - regardless of sustain options.
Vladof Ingenuity
Moze’s Maximum Shield is increased, and she gains resistance to Shock Damage.
At 1/5:
Shock Damage Resistance: +15.0%
Max Shield: +6.0%
Shield Recharge Rate: +4%
At 5/5:
Shock Damage Resistance: +47%
Max Shield: +30%
Shield Recharge Rate: +20%
Shock resistance is a shield’s major weakness, anything we can do to mitigate it is worth investing in. The max shield capacity and recharge rate are great. The main thing holding this skill back is that it shares a tier with Drowning in Brass.
Full Can of Whoop-Ass
Entering Iron Bear causes Moze’s and her allies’ shields to immediately begin recharging at an increased Shield Recharge Rate.
Shield Recharge Rate +25%
For builds that aim to spend all of combat in Iron Bear this skill is of no value. You can stay in Iron Bear long enough that your shield will recharge naturally regardless of if you spec this. Builds that intend to use Iron Bear in short bursts such as for taking out a single target or to proc Annointments will get value out of Full Can of Whoop-Ass. The Shield Recharge rate boost is nice, however the true reason this is goo is that Full Can of Whoop-Ass will continue charging your shield throughout it’s duration even if you take damage.
Experimental Munitions
Whenever Moze scores a Critical Hit, she deals bonus Incendiary Damage.
Bonus Incendiary Damage: +15% of Damage Dealt.
All the benefits of Selfless Vengeance just for hitting crits. Unfortunately it does not scale with splash damage or apply to Short Fuse meaning its not as impactful as it could be, however its still a solid pick for 1 point.
Behind the Iron Curtain
Moze’s Shield Recharge Delay is reduced, and her Shield Recharge Rate is increased.
At 1/3:
Shield Recharge Rate: +11%
Shield Recharge Delay: -12%
At 3/3:
Shield Recharge Rate: +33%
Shield Recharge Delay: -28%
For a tier 4 skill the bonuses are pitiful, furthermore they gain no benefit from the rest of Shield of Retribution’s shield perks.
Desperate Measures
Moze’s Gun Damage and Iron Bear’s Weapon Damage is increased depending on how low Moze’s health is. The lower her health, the greater the increase.
At 1/3:
Gun Damage: up to +17%
At 3/3:
Gun Damage: up to +50%
It’s only tier 4 but already we reach the culmination of what Shield of Retribution has built towards. Thin Red Line enables this perk to be always active and adding in items such as Bloodletters or Deathless artifacts allow us to take full advantage of the skill all the time. In setups that go for 1hp this is a 5 star skill and largely what the setup is based around.
However for builds that don’t go 1hp, Desperate Measures offers sporadic damage that isn’t great for a tier 4 skill. The skill is at it’s best when you’re in trouble and is still a decent option for going down the tree but it isn’t excellent outside 1hp builds.
In a meta so heavily dominated by the Consecutive Hits anoint, Desperate Measures offers a negligible amount of damage to builds outside of 1hp set ups.
Phalanx Doctrine
Kill Skill. After killing an enemy, Moze gains a stack of Phalanx Doctrine. For every stack of Phalanx Doctrine, Moze’s Maximum Shield and Gun Damage are increased. Each stack lasts 30 seconds and there is no stack limit.
Phalanx Doctrine Stack Duration: 30 seconds
At 1/5:
Max Shields: +3% per stack.
Gun Damage: +2% per stack.
At 5/5:
Max Shields: +15% per stack.
Gun Damage: +10% per stack.
Phalanx Doctrine is everything we want from a Shield of Retribution skill. It adds damage for killing things quickly, which combined with Drowning in Brass lends to Moze being able to gain and maintain momentum quickly. The bonus shield capacity quickly leads to Moze gaining ridiculous Max shield counts and becoming extremely difficult to down when there are mobs to kill.
This skill can do wonders for Moze, the aspects that hold it back are:
- The damage has is gun damage and thus has diminishing returns when stacked with the other damage skills present in Shield of Retribution.
- Shield Capacity is great but Moze has very few means of taking advantage of the increased capacity as she cannont recharge her shield through damage.
Force Feedback
Whenever Moze scores a Critical Kill, her shields immediately begin recharging. Moze is also refunded 10% of her max shield capacity.
At end game the shield recharging is just an inferior version of the guardian rank skill Shield Reboot.
For low level characters who have yet to unlock Shield Reboot it is a 2 star skill as it will start shield regeneration. However the skill is still weak as shield regeneration will be stopped by any damage taken.
The 10% restored shield capacity is nice to have but is not a major boost to sustain.
Tenacious Defense
Whenever Moze’s shield is fully depleted, she instantly restores a portion of her shield, and her Gun Damage is increased for a short time.
This skill can only trigger after Moze’s shields have fully recharged.
Restores: +40% of Max Shield
Gun Damage: +30%
Tenacious Defense Duration: 30 seconds
In a vacuum this is a great skill, offering both shield recovery and gun damage. The issue lies in the fact that Thin Red Line and Desperate Measures so encourages a 1hp build and for 1hp builds this capstone is near useless as you will go down before the effect can trigger. A minor saving grace is that when in FFYL you will get the gun damage bonus.
For builds that don’t heavily invest in Thin Red Line, and have the benefit of health gate this is a good capstone and worth the investment if you reach this point in the tree. The shield restoration has excellent synergy with all Shield Capacity boosts present in the trees and the gun damage is a nice to have.
Cloud of Lead
Occasionally, Moze’s and Iron Bear’s shots will deal additional Incendiary Damage and won’t consume ammo.
At 1/5:
Every 8 shots does not consume ammo
Bonus Incendiary Damage: +2.25%
At 5/5:
Every 4 shots does not consume ammo
Bonus Incendiary Damage: +11.25%
A good start to Bottomless mags, not consuming ammo will give time for us to regenerate our mag. The bonus fire damage is nice and offers a small boost against flesh. This is a solid skill you can’t really go wrong with.
Dakka Bear
Adds a manned turret to the back of Iron Bear. Iron Bear gains 50% damage while the turret is manned.
The turret’s damage is below average on higher Mayhems but it does make the rider invulnerable. If you dedicate yourself to using the turret it works well with Auto Bear, and the Guardian rank topped off, to keep you safe while waiting for Iron Bear to cooldown. For builds not focused on using the turret it’s not worth the investment.
Using the turret currently allows a player to bypass mechanics in the Guardian Takedown.
The increase to Auto Bear’s damage is also valuable if you feel weak on foot.
Matched Set
Moze’s currently equipped weapon gains a stacking bonus to Magazine Size and Decreased Heat Per Shot for every piece of equipped gear that has a matching manufacturer.
At 1/5:
Heat Per Shot: -2%
Magazine Size: +2%
At 5/5:
Heat Per Shot: -11%
Magazine Size: +10%
Has potential to be Moze’s biggest mag size boost, however it really needs 4 to 5 pieces of matched gear to outperform Cloud of Lead. Can be good, but you’ll need to be dedicated to using it, more often than not you’re better off getting mag size on your artifact.
Stoke The Embers
Increases Moze and Iron Bear’s Incendiary Damage
At 1/3:
Incendiary Damage: +10%
At 3/3:
Incendiary Damage: +30%
A 30% boost to all fire damage. For a character like Moze who gets a lot of gun damage boosts, in tier 2, a 30% elemental damage boost is amazing. The issue holding this skill back is that the hardest content in the game is primarily resistant to fire. Moze tends to do better with Radiation and Cryo weaponry in general use and hence will get nothing from this boost. If you aren’t using Fire the skill isn’t worth it, however for the times you have a fire weapon or the 125% incendiary anoint this is among Moze’s best dps increases.
Redistribution
After Moze scores a Critical Hit, she regenerates ammo and missing health for 3 seconds.
Ammo Regeneration: +5% of Magazine
+ 2.5% Missing health per Second
5% is more powerful than it sounds. This skill is what makes Bottomless mags work. Combined with a large mag weapon and a mag size boost or two, Redistribution is enough to run an entire map without reloading.
The cherry on top is that crits scored by Auto Bear or even through your grenades will proc Redistribution.
Scrappy
While moving, Moze’s Handling, Weapon Swap, Mode Switch Speed and gun damage are increased.
At 1/5:
Weapon Swap Speed: +16.0%
Mode Switch Speed: +16.0%
Handling: +10.7%
Gun Damage +6%
At 5/5:
Weapon Swap Speed: +48.7%
Mode Switch Speed: +48.7%
Handling: +37.5%
Gun Damage +30%
Scrappy is a nice boost to handling and gives Moze some extra adaptability. The damage is useful and the ease at which Moze can maintain the buff makes it very very attractive. This is a more generally applicable skill than Stoke the Embers however will offer less damage when Moze is using fire weapons. The choice between the skills should hinge on how often you are using fire weaponry.
Rushin’ Offensive
Moze can sprint and shoot at the same time. While sprinting Moze gains 8% lifesteal.
The survival offered by 8% lifesteal can be game changing, furthermore dots can heal you while sprinting. Dahl, Hyperion and Maliwan are probably the manufacturers that benefit most from this skill as all three have very manageable hip fire accuracy.
Scorching RPM’s
Moze gains increased Fire Rate and Critical Hit Damage. Iron Bear Gains increased Hard Point Damage.
At 1/5:
Fire Rate: +3%
Critical Hit Damage: +4%
Iron Bear Damage +5%
At 5/5:
Fire Rate: +15%
Critical Hit Damage: +20%
Iron Bear Damage +25%
Being the only skill tree boosts Moze gets to both fire rate and critical hit damage makes this skill extra valuable. Both bonuses are essentially multiplicative dps boosts. The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star skill is that the bonuses aren’t bigger for a 5 point skill.
The Iron Bank
Increases Moze’s Magazine Size.
At 1/5:
Magazine Size: +7%
At 5/5:
Magazine Size: +35%
Iron Bank offers great synergy with Redistribution, Forge and Cloud of Lead. However it is a mag size boost that Moze seldom needs. Consistently hitting crits with Redistribution is enough to push your effective mag enough to not reload mid combat with most of Moze’s better guns. That class mods and relics can roll with +24% and +40% mag size is to me a good reason not to invest in this skill. If you are running a weapon that really needs mag size boosts this isn’t a bad investment, or if just getting down the tree is necessary.
Specialist Bear
Equipping two of the same Weapons on Iron Bear increases the damage they deal by 60%.
This is an excellent damage boost for Iron Bear. The 60% stands alone in Iron Bears damage formula, so you will always get a full 60% more damage for this single point. If you’re this far down the tree it’s this skill alone should make you use two of the same Weapons.
Some for The Road
Moze gains infinite ammo for a 5 seconds after exiting Iron Bear
5 seconds where ammo consumption and mag size don’t matter is a lot but Moze seldom has trouble maintaining weapons indefinitely so this skill can often become redundant. This skill is a good boss killer that works well with some niche weapons such as stickies and the miscreant.
Click, Click…
Moze gains increased Gun Damage as her magazine empties. The less ammo there is remaining, the greater the increase.
If Moze has a COV gun equipped, she gains Gun Damage as her gun’s heat increases
At 1/3: Gun Damage: up to +20%
At 3/3: Gun Damage: up to +60%
Click, Click… offers solid gun damage at the bottom of Bottomless Mags As the only Gun Damage in the tree it can offer significant value. You do however have to cater to the skill to get best performance out of it. This is not a set and forget damage boost like Scorching RPM’s.
If you build around keeping your build at low mag this can become one of the central blocks to your gun damage. If you don’t however the skill is lackluster in the damage it will provide due to Moze more naturally maintaining a high mag.
For further analysis of Click, Click… you can look here.
Forge
Moze constantly regenerates ammo for her currently equipped weapon.
Ammo Regeneration: +5.0% of magazine/sec.
All the great synergy of Redistribution without the conditional need for critical hits. Combining the 2 skills for 10% ammo regen and you get crazy deep magazines. The issue however is that not many set ups need the extra regeneration.
Blast Master with 1 bonus point in Redis can sustain all the meta guns. For alternate set ups 1 redis and large mags will sustain a mag through an encounter and the gun can be reloaded before the next combat sequence.
Fire in the Skag Den
Whenever Moze deals Splash Damage, she deals bonus Incendiary Damage.
At 1/5:
Bonus Incendiary Damage: +3%
At 5/5:
Bonus Incendiary Damage: +15%
Fire in the Skag Den currently receives the same mayhem scaling as Iron Bear. This means that, at Mayhem 10, it gives 93% bonus incendiary damage per point, easily making it a 5 star skill at Mayhem 10.
However this improved impact does not apply to Iron Bear and is the only bonus element benefiting from mayhem scaling. As such I believe this skill is bugged and will not be updating the star rating to reflect its current scaling and have not considered how it impacts Moze’s other skills.
Almost all damage Demolition Woman Moze deals is splash damage. This ends up proccing on everything from grenades to Short Fuse. The fire damage can create dots which have great utility for maintaining the Pearl, stacking Consecutive hits or healing through Rushin’ Offensive. The first point is worth 4 stars, however further investment doesn’t scale dot damage and will not affect the utility of the perk. Skag Den’s damage doesn’t scale with splash or crit damage making invement past 1 point generally not worth it.
It’s worth atleast noting that the Iron Bear Damage from Stainless Steel Bear and Scorching RPM’s boosts Fire in the Skag Den damage.
Deadlines
Firing Iron Bear Weapons drains less Fuel.
Killing an enemy while Iron Bear is active increases Fuel. This skill has diminishing returns.
At 1/3:
Fuel Drain: -12.0%
Fuel Returned: Up to 2.0%
At 3/3:
Fuel Drain: -30.0%
Fuel Returned: Up to 6.0%
Deadlines provides Moze with a hefty duration increase to Iron Bear up time, the fuel returned on kill rewards good play and can allow Iron Bear to last entire encounters. For those fantasizing about spending all their time as a badass mech pilot, Deadlines is your first step.
However if you plan to use Iron Bear in short bursts or as an anointment proccer then Deadlines offers no value.
Grizzled
Kill Skill. Killing an enemy reduces Moze’s remaining Action Skill Cooldown Time. This skill has diminishing returns.
At 1/5:
Iron Bear Cooldown Time: -1 seconds
At 5/5:
Iron Bear Cooldown Time: -5 seconds
Grizzled can be a great cooldown reduction for Moze when mobbing. The best part about the skill is that it works well in conjunction with other cooldown boosts. Generally stacking cooldown boosts is ill advised due to strong diminishing returns. However Grizzled does not suffer as badly from these boosts. If you do invest in Grizzled you should aim for a minimum of 4 points, anything less and the skill makes no noticeable difference.
For more information on Moze’s cooldown skill you can look here.
Note: The skill has diminishing returns past one second.
Means of Destruction
Whenever Moze deals Splash Damage, there is a chance to add ammo to her currently equipped weapon’s magazine, with a smaller chance to return a grenade.
At 1/3:
Ammo Chance: +3.3%
Grenade Chance: +2.0%
At 3/3:
Ammo Chance: +10%
Grenade Chance: +6%
Means of Destruction makes Demolition Woman tick. It essentially recycles all our firepower into more ammunition for us to continue killing with. Absolutely amazing skill, for low mag weapons such as the Flakker Means of Distruction is a more effective method of regenerating bullets in the mag than Bottomless Mags.
Note this skill has an unlisted internal cooldown of 0.3 seconds between successful procs.
Means of Destruction is also pre determined, you can read about this here: [Guide] Moze's Predetermined Skills
Torgue Cross-Promotion
All Splash Damage dealt by Moze has a chance to double in size. Splash damage is also increased
At 1/5:
+3% chance to double Splash Damage Radius
Splash Damage + 6%
At 5/5:
+15% chance to double Splash Damage Radius
Splash Damage + 30%
Bigger Explosions are something everyone can get behind! until they’ve blown themselves up… Torgue Cross-Promotion is a minimal boost to Moze’s crowd damage and gives you a better chance of proccing Vampyr however it also makes close quarters a risky business. The damage bonus is however welcome and has excellent synergy with the rest of the tree. This a double edged sword to invest in, more often than not however it will be your best investment to progress the tree.
Stainless Steel Bear
Iron Bear gains additional armor and increased Maximum Fuel.
At 1/5:
Iron Bear Armor: +6%
Maximum Fuel: +4%
Iron Bear Damage +4%
At 5/5:
Iron Bear Armor: +30%
Maximum Fuel: +20%
Iron Bear Damage +20%
A corner stone of all Iron Bear centric builds. Stainless Steel Bear offers us sizable increases to damage, duration and survival. For Iron Bear centric builds this is a must have. This skill is also the only option for improving Rocketeer’s Auto Bear duration.
If you plan to avoid the use of Iron Bear entirely this skill is of nearly no value, The notable interaction where Stainless Steel Bear increased Short Fuse damage was removed with the Mayhem scaling patch
Pull The Holy Pin
Moze’s grenades have a chance to score a Critical Hit, dealing greatly increased damage. Sources of Critical Hit Damage do not affect grenade Critical Hits.
At 1/3:
Critical Hit Chance: +10%
At 3/3:
Critical Hit Chance: +30%
Combining extra grenade damage and cross tree synergy make this a great skill. Grenades dealing critical damage will increase your overall damage and will allow them to proc critical hit effects such as Redistribution.
In higher mayhem levels, normal grenades are not a great source of damage but their utility is still still well worth it. Taking 1 point while using meta grenades, such as the Cloning Maddening Tracker, are nearly guaranteed to crit at least once. (If you have a subpar grenade sometimes a second point is useful to help the reliability of scoring crits)
Micro-grenades spawned by the Mind Sweeper COM can crit via Pull The Holy Pin which will double their damage and give them a chance to spawn their own micro-grenade which also has a chance to crit. The Mind Sweeper interaction pushes Pull The Holy Pin to a 5 star level.
Auto Bear
After Moze exits Iron Bear, it will remain deployed in place for 15 seconds. While Auto Bear remains active, it will target and attack nearby enemies until its duration ends, then it will charge at an enemy and self-destruct.
If fighting beside Iron Bear isn’t enough to interest you, Auto Bear can proc skill such as Drowning in Brass, Phalanx Doctrine and Redistribution for Moze while she’s on foot. Auto Bear is a sizable DPS boost when you combine it with all the fire power Moze will be outputting. Auto Bear’s utility further extends into being both aggro relief and physical cover for Moze.
Post the Mayhem Scaling Patch Auto Bear possesses enough damage to ably kill in all content. Having Auto Bear on the field is a game changer and makes Moze’s life much easier.
Something to be aware of though is that popular Iron Bear Hard Points such as Vanquisher Rocket Pods and Exploding bullets deal self damage, Auto Bear using these weapons can be prone to self annihilation when faced with melee enemies.
Vampyr
Whenever Moze damages an enemy with a thrown grenade or Iron Bear deals ara damage, for every enemy hit, she restores a portion of their missing health. Iron Bear receives half this bonus.
At 1/5:
Restores +4% of missing health per enemy hit.
At 5/5:
Restores +20% of missing health per enemy hit.
Vampyr is one of only 2 ways Moze is able to recover quickly from large bursts of damage and will contribute greatly to Moze staying on here feet. Grenades with mirv effects or chances to hit multiple times synergize best as they can proc Vampyr multiple times. Single hit grenades are a poor match for Vampyr as healing is not scaled off the damage dealt.
Iron Bear’s survival is also highly dependent on the sustain that Vampyr offers.
Why Can’t I Carry All These Grenades?
Increases Moze’s grenade carrying capacity.
At 1/3:
Grenade Capacity: +1
At 3/3:
Grenade Capacity: +3
This skill falls victim to the power of Means of Destruction. Moze can get enough grenade regen from splash damage through her guns and grenades that 3 extra grenades are unnecessary.
To The Last
Moze gains the ability to throw grenades while in Fight For Your Life. If she threw a grenade before gaining Second Wind, a grenade is refunded
Grenades are among Moze’s most valuable tools, to have access to them when in FFYL is great. It’s a 1 point skill that can be used to output damage or prep healing for when you get a second wind. Unfortunately this skill falls victim to the bad scaling of grenade damage and is seldom going to deal damage to get you back up.
A useful utility of this skill is that it can be used to proc the 25% damage on Grenade throw anoint or the Guardian Rank too angry to die, both of which can be life savers.
Explosive Punctuation
When Moze deals Splash Damage, her Action Skill Cooldown Rate is briefly increased.
At 1/5:
Action Skill Cooldown Rate: +8%
At 5/5:
Action Skill Cooldown Rate: +80%
Demolition Woman Moze deals enough splash damage that this is essentially an always on cooldown reduction. The bonus however is minimal and can be outshone by even just a few seconds where the Guardian Rank topped off is active. You’re almost always better off taking Grizzled instead. Explosive Punctuation can be used if you’re really struggling for cooldown, however it generally is not advised.
For more information on Moze’s cooldown skills you can look here.
Short Fuse
Whenever Moze deals Gun Damage, there is a chance of a secondary explosion centered on the target.
Secondary Explosion Chance: 20%
Secondary Explosion Damage: 75% of Gun Damage
Easily Moze’s best capstone, Short Fuse now receives Mayhem scaling, up to x7 at mayhem 10, making it Moze’s best damage skill in nearly every situation. Short Fuse also double dips splash bonuses meaning you want to be boosting splash damage and using splash weapons to get the most out of it.
