Acid Bolt

An acid-coated bolt that melts away armor.
Overview
Acid Bolt is an ammunition item described as a bolt coated in acid that melts armor. It is presented in-game as a consumable projectile whose defining property is the ability to remove or degrade armor on impact, making it specifically relevant against armored opponents.
Acid Bolt should be treated as a specialized tool for encounters where enemy armor is a significant factor. Use it when facing heavily armored foes to reduce their protection and increase the effectiveness of follow-up attacks. Because its primary role is armor degradation rather than raw damage, Acid Bolt is most valuable in situations where normal attacks are being absorbed by armor values or when breaking enemy defenses quickly will alter the flow of combat.
- Best use cases: employ Acid Bolt against enemies that rely on armor for survivability; bring it into fights where reducing armor opens windows for high-damage abilities or critical hits.
- Inefficient targets: avoid wasting Acid Bolt on unarmored or lightly armored targets since its special property provides little additional benefit in those cases.
- Resource management: conserve Acid Bolt for key encounters where armor removal provides clear tactical advantage rather than using it on standard or trivial fights.
- Tactical sequencing: prioritize using Acid Bolt early in a burst or before heavy damage-dealing actions to maximize the benefit of reduced enemy armor.
The core behavior of Acid Bolt is consistent across localizations: it is a projectile coated with acid that melts armor. Specific numerical effects, stacking interactions, compatible weapons, and acquisition methods are not specified by the available descriptions and must be confirmed in-game or via detailed game data.
