Coherency Toughness
Generally, coherency works like a daisy chain[i.imgur.com]that connects the players; a player does not need to be in coherency with all others at once, just with one that might be in coherency with others. Then, coherency toughness regeneration is active only when there are no enemies occupying slots around the player unit (Darktide's slot system is similar to Vermintide 2's slot system). Coherency toughness regeneration is disabled while the player is downed or while the player is affected by specific debuffs like toxic gas or ground fire; while carrying luggable mission objects (e.g. batteries, containers) the regeneration is extremely slowed and reduced.

The coherency regen delay (i.e. the time until coherency regeneration kicks in after its conditions have been met) is currently bugged: If the last enemy occupying a slot is in melee combat, it varies depending on the length of the death animation of this enemy and hence, only in this case, is unaffected by the toughness_regen_delay_multiplier provided by Toughness Regeneration Speed curios.

Cyber-Mastiff
Arbitrator is accompanied by a Cyber-Mastiff. This canine companion does not have health or a hit box. It is not attacked by enemies and does not occupy space on the navmesh (thereby does not interfere with enemy path finding).

Attack Behavior
The Cyber-Mastiff initiates attacks against enemies in two main ways:

(1) By default, it automatically tries to attack the closest attacking enemy within 6m to the player. Alternatively, it can select targets within up to 16m to the player; should prioritize close melee elites over other elites and specials over other enemies. Generally, the Cyber-Mastiff tries to attack appropriate targets within range that are attacking the player and are inside the player's FOV. Does not automatically attack Poxburster.

(2) Using the command-tag (double tap), the player can command the Cyber-Mastiff to attack one taggable enemy within tagging distance (100m); passive Daemonhosts are not valid targets. The Cyber-Mastiff will then attack the target dealing damage until it dies, or until the tag duration (25s) runs out, or until the target is changed by the player tagging a different one.

If the player is disabled by a Mutant or Pox Hound breed, the Cyber-Mastiff will automatically jump at it thereby freeing the player. If the player is grabbed by a Chaos Spawn or Daemonhost, or is consumed by a Beast of Nurgle, the Cyber-Mastiff will automatically continue to attack the disabling monster (ignoring any command-tagged target). Note that while being disabled (e.g. while netted), the player can still command-tag enemies.

The leap attack has a fixed cooldown of 1.5s; the effective time before Cyber-Mastiff leaps again can be longer depending on the necessary steps in its attack positioning and/or target selection logic.

Damage
Regardless of how the attack was initiated, the Cyber-Mastiff deals the same damage and stagger. Its damage scales with character level: The damage is increased every 5 character levels reaching 'full damage' at level 30:

Character Level
1 to 4
5 to 9
10 to 14
15 to 19
20 to 24
25 to 29
30
Damage Increase
0%
16.66%
33.33%
50%
66.66%
83.33%
100%

Cyber-Mastiff cannot crit and considers the base armor type of the target for calculating damage with the following armor damage modifiers (ADM):

Armor Type
ADM
Unarmoured
1
Flak
0.8
Unyielding
1
Maniac
1
Carapace
0.6
Infested
1

Stagger
Cyber-Mastiff deals stagger to enemies in three main ways: (1) While moving around, it staggers smaller enemies within 0.5m. (2) While leaping, it staggers enemies within 1.25m; this has enough stagger strength to stagger all enemies except for Mutants, monstrosities, and Captains/Twins. (3) On direct impact with leap attack (see details in the table below).

Damage & Stagger: Overview
The following table gives an overview of the damage and stagger dealt by Cyber-Mastiff's leap attack against relevant target groups, based on a level 30 Arbitrator:

Target Group
Base Damage      
Stagger            
Behavior Remarks
Human-Sized
200
disables
('pounced')
• jumps on target dealing damage every 1.33s
• on pounce, creates a non-damaging explosion with a 2m radius around the pounced target which deals stagger
Ogryns
400
forces light stagger
(for 2.5s)
• jumps at target dealing one instance of damage and stagger
Poxburster
0
forces heavy stagger
(for 2.5s)
• jumps at target dealing one instance of stagger
• attacks Poxburster only on command; note that it can stagger Poxburster unexpectedly while leaping when attacking a different target
Mutants
Pox Hounds
400
forces heavy stagger
(for 2.5s)
• jumps at target dealing one instance of damage and stagger
• when player is grabbed by a Mutant, attacks automatically
• when player is disabled by a Pox Hound, attacks automatically
Beast of Nurgle
Chaos Spawn
Plague Ogryn
600
cannot stagger
• jumps on target and stays on target for 1.55s dealing one instance of damage before jumping off and retargeting
• when player is consumed by a Beast of Nurgle, attacks automatically
• when player is grabbed by a Chaos Spawn, attacks automatically
Daemonhost   
200
cannot stagger
• jumps at target dealing one instance of damage
• when player is grabbed by a Daemonhost, attacks automatically
Captains
Twins
0
(active shield)
200
(inactive shield)
cannot stagger
• active shield: jumps at target and bounces off
• inactive shield: jumps at target dealing one instance of damage

Cyber-Mastiff's damage can be increased by Arbitrator's talents Bloodlust, Execution Order, Go Get 'Em!, Kill Order, and Unleashed Brutality, by 'brittleness' on the target, the weapon blessing Skullcrusher (while staggered), and by damage taken debuffs from Ogryn's Hard Knocks, Soften Them Up, Valuable Destruction, Pickaxes (weapon special), from Psyker's Enfeeble, and from Veteran's Focus Target.
Talent Nodes (Part I)
Ammo Belt
Icon            
Mechanics
+25% Ammo Capacity.

stat buff: ammo_reserve_capacity

Increases Arbitrator's maximum ammo in reserve by 25%, rounds down.


Arbites Revelatum
Icon            
Mechanics
15% Damage for 5s after Successful Dodge.

stat buff: damage

Increases any damage by 15% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Procs on successfully dodging enemy melee or ranged attacks (except Gunners, Reaper, Sniper), and disabler attacks (Pox Hound jump, Trapper net, Mutant grab). 'Successful dodge' means dodging an enemy attack that is locked on the player with an accordingly timed dodge or sliding action.


Arbitrator Armour
Icon            
Mechanics
+25 Toughness.

stat buff: toughness

Adds 25 toughness to Arbitrator's base maximum toughness of 100 thereby increasing Arbitrator's max toughness; stacks additively with Plasteel Plates.

Current max toughness is multiplied by the toughness percentage buffs from curios. For example, at 125 max toughness (Arbitrator's base 100 and 25 from this talent) with one +17% toughness curio with a +4% toughness perk, Arbitrator's max toughness of 125 is increased by 125x(0.17+0.04)=26.25 to 151.25 toughness (HUD rounds up: 152).

A character's maximum toughness is the base value that is used in toughness replenished calculations of most talents and blessings.


Canine Morale
Icon            
Mechanics
Klling Pounced Targets grants Allies in Coherency +20% Toughness Damage Reduction and +10% Toughness over 5s.

stat buff: toughness_damage_taken_multiplier

function: recover_percentage_toughness

When human-sized enemies who are disabled ('pounced') by Cyber-Mastiff are killed by Cyber-Mastiff or the player, does two things for Arbitrator and allies who are in coherency with Arbitrator:

(1) Reduces toughness damage taken by 20% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks multiplicatively with other damage reduction buffs.

(2) Replenishes 2% of maximum toughness per second for 5 seconds; can be refreshed during active duration. The effectiveness of this toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.


Concussive
Icon            
Mechanics
Melee Weakspot hits make the enemy count as Staggered for 4s.

buff keyword: count_as_staggered

Melee hits against enemy weakspots apply a debuff that makes the target count as being staggered for 4s; can be refreshed during active duration. Can also be applied with melee special actions of ranged weapons. This debuff allows Arbitrator's Breaking Dissent, Final Warning, Force of Will, Forceful, Hold the Line, Strike Down, Suppression Force, and Target the Weak to proc consistently against any debuffed target as if the target had been put into staggered state before.

The best use case is against targets that are hard (or impossible) to stagger by usual means like monstrosities, Captains/Twins, or enemies buffed by the Havoc mutator 'The Final Toll'.

For example, with Target the Weak, the first hit would apply Concussive's fake stagger debuff, the second hit would apply Target the Weak's damage taken debuff, and the third hit (and subsequent ones) would then benefit from the damage increase.

Note that this talent's debuff also allows consistent procs for weapon blessings Execution, Opportunist, Skullcrusher, Smackdown, and Thunderstrike.

Interaction with Skullcrusher
While Concussive's debuff allows to apply and refresh Skullcrusher stacks on a target at any time, the blessing's damage increase, however, can only be procced and benefited from during its initial 5s duration after which it does not apply anymore because Concussive's debuff cannot keep the target in a 'proper' staggered state. In order to benefit from Skullcrusher's damage increase again, Concussive's debuff has to run out first and then be reapplied (or the target has to be actually staggered).


Cower, Miscreants!
Icon            
Mechanics
+25% Damage vs Suppressed Enemies.

stat buff: damage_vs_suppressed

Increases any damage against enemies who are suppressed by 25%; Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Breeds that can be suppressed: Armored Groaner, Groaner, Dreg Gunner, Dreg Stalker, Radio Operator, Reaper, Scab Gunner, Scab Shooter, Scab Stalker


Drive them Back
Icon            
Mechanics
Pushing grants 75% Cleave for 5s.

stat buff: max_melee_hit_mass_attack_modifier

Pushing enemies increases the maximum hit mass limit of melee attacks by 75% for 5s, thereby allowing melee attacks to cleave more enemies; can be refreshed during active duration. The push action does not need to stagger the enemy (procs against monstrosities, Bulwark shield, Captains/Twins void shield). Stacks additively with related buff from Targets Acquired, the small cleave node, weapon blessings Devastating Strike, Savage Sweep, and Wrath, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

There is currently a bug: This talent also increases ranged cleave.


Final Warning
Icon            
Mechanics
15% Ranged Damage on Melee Staggering Hits. Lasts 5s.

stat buff: ranged_damage

Hits with melee attacks, pushes and Break the Line (direct impact) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) increase the damage of ranged attacks by 15% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with other related damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.
Talent Nodes (Part II)
Force of Will
Icon            
Mechanics
Replenish 10% Toughness on Staggering Melee Attack.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

Hits with melee attacks and Break the Line (direct impact) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) replenish 10% of maximum toughness; procs once per attack regardless of how many enemies have been staggered.

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.


Hammer of Judgement
Icon            
Mechanics
+10% Melee Attack Speed for 3s on hitting 3 or more enemies with a Melee Attack.

stat buff: melee_attack_speed

Hitting at least 3 enemies with a melee attack increases melee weapon attack animation speed by 10%; stacks additively with related buffs from Execution Order, Inspiring Recitation, Lone Wolf, Obstinate, Retaliatory Force, and Celerity Stimm.


Hold the Line
Icon            
Mechanics
Staggering an Enemy grants 1 stack(s) of +3% Damage Resistance, on the next Melee hit taken. Stacking 5 times and lasting 8s. Staggering Non-Human Sized Enemies grants 5 stack(s).

stat buff: damage_taken_multiplier

Hits with melee and ranged attacks, pushes, explosions, Break the Line (direct impact), Voltaic Shock Mine, and Cyber-Mastiff (only against human-sized enemies) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) grant stacks (up to 5); stacks last for 8s or until taking a melee hit, and can be refreshed during active duration. Generates either 1 stack or 5 stacks depending on the staggered target:

Stacks
Breeds
 5
Bulwark, Crusher, Reaper, Beast of Nurgle, Chaos Spawn, Daemonhosts, Plague Ogryn
 1
all others

Per stack, reduces toughness and health damage taken by 3%; the buff stacks multiplicatively with itself, up to ~14.1% damage reduction at max stacks (1-0.97⁵=0.1412), and with other damage reduction buffs.


Imposing Force
Icon            
Mechanics
Gain +25% Damage Resistance for 5s after Elite or Specialist Kill.

stat buff: damage_taken_multiplier

Killing an elite or a special reduces both toughness and health damage taken by 25% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks multiplicatively with other damage reduction buffs.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.


Judicious Efficiency
Icon            
Mechanics
20% Reload Speed on next reload after Elite Kill or Specialist Kill.

stat buff: reload_speed

Killing an elite or a special increases reload animation speed by 20% for the next reload action; stacks additively with reload speed buff from Dispense Justice, Ruthless Efficiency, and Celerity Stimm. This also increases the speed of the loading special action of Exterminator Shotguns and Combat Shotguns.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.


Justified Measures
Icon            
Mechanics
+3% Damage on Successful Attack. 5 Max Stacks. Lasts 5s.

stat buff: damage

Hitting enemies with melee and ranged attacks, pushes, explosions, Break the Line, Voltaic Shock Mine, and Cyber-Mastiff grants stacks (up to 5); generates 1 stack per attack. Stacks last for 5s and can be refreshed during active duration. Per stack, increases any damage by 3% (up to +15%); Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.


Man and Cyber-Mastiff
Icon            
Mechanics
Replenish 5% Toughness per second while within 8m of your Cyber-Mastiff.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

If Cyber-Mastiff is within 8m to Arbitrator, replenishes 5% of maximum toughness per second. This effect is disabled while Arbitrator is disabled or knocked down. Does not interact with coherency toughness regeneration.

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.
Talent Nodes (Part III)
March
Icon            
Mechanics
+15% Movement Speed on Ranged Hit. Lasts 3s.

stat buff: movement_speed

Hitting enemies with ranged attacks (including grenade/shock mine direct impact hits) increases movement speed by 15% for 3s; can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with related buff from Castigator's Stance, No Escape, Not Far Behind, and multiplicatively with the sprint speed buff from Rapid Movement.


Monstrosity Hunter
Icon            
Mechanics
+20% Damage to Ogryns and Monstrosities.

stat buff: damage_vs_ogryn_and_monsters

Increases any damage against enemies with the ogryn tag (Bulwark, Crusher, Reaper) and against enemies with the monster tag (Beast of Nurgle, Chaos Spawn, Daemonhosts, Plague Ogryn); Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

Does not buff damage against Captains/Twins who do not have the monster tag.


No Escape
Icon            
Mechanics
+10% Damage and +10% Movement Speed on Elite or Specialist Kill. Lasts 4s.

stat buffs:
damage
movement_speed

Killing an elite or a special does two things for 4s (can be refreshed during active duration):

(1) Increases any damage by 10%; Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

(2) Increases movement speed by 10%; stacks additively with related buff from Castigator's Stance, March, Not Far Behind, and multiplicatively with sprint speed buff from Rapid Movement.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.


Plasteel Plates
Icon            
Mechanics
+25 Toughness.

stat buff: toughness

Adds 25 toughness to Arbitrator's base maximum toughness of 100 thereby increasing Arbitrator's max toughness; stacks additively with Arbitrator Armour.

Current max toughness is multiplied by the toughness percentage buffs from curios. For example, at 125 max toughness (Arbitrator's base 100 and 25 from this talent) with one +16% toughness curio with a +5% toughness perk, Arbitrator's max toughness of 125 is increased by 125x(0.16+0.05)=26.25 to 151.25 toughness (HUD rounds up: 152).

A character's maximum toughness is the base value that is used in toughness replenished calculations of most talents and blessings.


Priority Endowment
Icon            
Mechanics
+15% Clip Size, rounded up.

stat buff: clip_size_modifier

Increases Arbitrator's maximum ammo in clip by 15%, rounds up. For example, Arbitrator with a weapon that has a max clip size of 2 bullets will now have a clip size of 2x1.15=2.3 bullets which is rounded up to 3.


Prosecution Blow
Icon            
Mechanics
+20% Rending on Ranged Critical Strike.

stat buff: ranged_critical_strike_rending_multiplier

Grants 20% rending to critical ranged attacks boosting damage against armor types Carapace, Flak, Maniac, Unyielding. Only affects Arbitrator's own damage. Stacks additively with other rending buffs ('rending') and with rending debuffs that are applied to enemies ('brittleness').
Talent Nodes (Part IV)
Rapid Movement
Icon            
Mechanics
Sliding increases Sprint Speed by +5% for 5s. Kills restore +5% Stamina. 0.75s Cooldown.

stat buff: sprint_movement_speed

function: add_stamina_percent

This talent does two things:

(1) Sliding increases sprinting speed by 5% for 5s; can be refreshed during active duration. This sprint speed buff stacks multiplicatively with movement speed buffs from March, No Escape, Not Far Behind, and weapon blessings like Rev It Up.

(2) Killing enemies replenishes 5% of maximum stamina; has an internal cooldown of 0.75s. This stamina replenishment also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.


Razor-Jaw Augment
Icon            
Mechanics
Enemies knocked away by your Cyber Mastiff's Pounce have 8 Stack(s) of Bleed applied to them.

Cyber-Mastiff applies 8 stacks of bleed to enemies under two conditions:

(1) When Cyber-Mastiff disables ('pounces') a human-sized enemy, it creates a non-damaging explosion with a 2m radius. Enemies within radius receive bleed stacks.

(2) When Cyber-Mastiff jumps at any target, it applies bleed stacks to the target on impact.

Can apply up to 16 bleed stacks max on a target; can apply bleed through Bulwark shield (always), and Captains/Twins void shield (if pouncing a human-sized target that is within 2m). Bleed: same as other sources of bleed; lasts 1.5s; ticks every 0.5s; refreshes duration on stack application; above average armor damage modifiers across the board, low armor damage modifier against Carapace.

Note that this talent's bleed effect is unaffected by player buffs.


Rebreather
Icon            
Mechanics
+20% Corruption Resistance and +75% Reduced Damage Taken from Toxic Gas.

stat buffs:
corruption_taken_multiplier
damage_taken_from_toxic_gas_multiplier

Reduces corruption damage taken by any enemy source that is dealing corruption damage by 20%, including Poxburster explosion, toxic gas, Poxwalker melee attacks, Pox Hound pounce, Beast of Nurgle vomit/slime/consumed, Daemonhost, grimoires, etc.

Also reduces corruption damage taken by toxic gas by 75%. Toxic gas is created by Dreg Tox Bomber grenades, the 'Pox Gas' mutator, and Karnak Twins events (ambush, boss fight).

These two damage reductions stack multiplicatively with each other (i.e. this talent by itself provides Arbitrator with 80% damage reduction against toxic gas; 1-0.8x0.25=0.8). Stacks multiplicatively with Corruption Resistance, Bomber Resistance from curios, and other damage reduction buffs.


Retaliatory Force
Icon            
Mechanics
Gain 15% Reduced Block Cost. On Perfect Block gain +15% Damage and +10% Attack Speed for 8s.

stat buffs:
block_cost_multiplier
damage
attack_speed

Reduces the stamina cost when blocking melee or ranged attacks (shields only) by 15%; stacks multiplicatively with Block Efficiency from curios and melee weapon perks, with the Last Guard weapon blessing, and with the stamina cost reduction buff from Celerity Stimm.

Additionally, on perfect block, this talent does two things for 8s (can be refreshed during active duration):

(1) Increases any damage by 15%; Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other damage buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

(2) Increases attack animation speed of both ranged and melee weapons by 10%; stacks additively with related buff from Execution Order, Hammer of Judgement, Inspiring Recitation, Lone Wolf, Obstinate, Targets Acquired, and Celerity Stimm.

'Perfect block' refers to perfect blocking. This is a blocking state which requires a successfully executed block action within 0.3s against an incoming attack. If the character has been blocking for longer than 0.3s when the to-be-blocked attack hits, it is not a perfect block. By default, a perfect block has no benefit. It is considered as a proc condition.


Serrated Maw
Icon            
Mechanics
Your Cyber-Mastiff applies 6 Stacks of Brittleness on attack.

stat buff: rending_multiplier

When Cyber-Mastiff attacks, the initial hit applies 6 rending debuff stacks ('brittleness') to the target boosting damage against armor types Carapace, Flak, Maniac, Unyielding; also boosts Cyber-Mastiff's damage.

Each stack applies 2.5% rending (up to 40% max at 16 stacks), lasts 5s, and can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with other rending debuffs ('brittleness'), and with rending buffs that only boost a character's own damage ('rending').


Shield Plates
Icon            
Mechanics
On Block, replenish 15% Toughness over 3s. On Perfect Block, instantly replenish 10% Toughness. 1s Cooldown.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

This talent does two things:

(1) Blocking a melee or ranged attack (shields only) always replenishes 5% of maximum toughness per second for 3 seconds; can be refreshed during active duration.

(2) If an attack is blocked with a perfect block, immediately replenishes 10% of maximum toughness (additionally to the toughness replenishment over time effect); has an internal cooldown of 1s.

'Perfect block' refers to perfect blocking. This is a blocking state which requires a successfully executed block action within 0.3s against an incoming attack. If the character has been blocking for longer than 0.3s when the to-be-blocked attack hits, it is not a perfect block. By default, a perfect block has no benefit. It is considered as a proc condition.

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.
Talent Nodes (Part V)
Soulguilt Scan
Icon            
Mechanics
Weakspot Hits grant 2% Weakspot Strength. 8 Max Stacks. Lasts 10s.

stat buff: weakspot_power_level_modifier

Weakspot hits with melee and ranged attacks grant stacks (up to 8); stacks last for 10s and can be refreshed during active duration. Per stack, increases the power level of melee and ranged attacks against weakspots by 2% (up to +16%); stacks additively with itself and with other power level buffs, and multiplicatively with damage buffs.

'Power level buffs' increase the base power of attacks which benefits damage, stagger, and cleave (where applicable).


Street Smarts
Icon            
Mechanics
Gain +1 Effective Dodges and +25% Dodge Duration.

stat buffs:
extra_consecutive_dodges
dodge_linger_time_modifier

Increases Arbitrator's base dodge linger time of 0.2s by 25% to 0.25s. 'Dodge linger time' refers to the time window in which a character is still considered to be in is_dodging state against a melee attack after a dodge has technically ended. This makes the dodge window more forgiving in regard to player input timing.

Also adds one effective dodge at all times; the total amount of effective dodges a character can perform varies depending on the dodge template of the currently wielded weapon or item.

+15% Melee Rending on Staggered Enemies.

stat buff: melee_rending_vs_staggered_multiplier

Against enemies who are staggered, grants 15% rending to melee attacks boosting damage against armor types Carapace, Flak, Maniac, Unyielding. Only affects Arbitrator's own damage, Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other rending buffs ('rending') and with rending debuffs that are applied to enemies ('brittleness').


Suppression Force
Icon            
Mechanics
Staggering an Enemy makes them deal -20% Damage. Lasts 5s.

Hits with melee attacks, pushes, and Break the Line (direct impact) that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) apply a debuff to enemies that reduces the damage of all their attacks against toughness and health by 20%; does not stack with the same debuff from another Arbitrator. Can also be applied with melee special actions of ranged weapons. The debuff lasts for 5s and can be refreshed during active duration. Stacks additively with the related debuff (only against enemy melee attacks) from Fear of Justice. This reduction of damage dealt stacks multiplicatively during calculation with any applicable damage reduction on the player side (talents, curios, etc).


Suppression Protocols
Icon            
Mechanics
Hitting 3 or more enemies with an Attack grants you +20% Toughness Damage Reduction for 5s.

Killing an elite or a special does two things:

(1) Immediately replenishes 10% of maximum toughness per kill; can proc multiple times when cleaving. If it is a melee kill, this talent procs additionally to Arbitrator's base 5% of maximum toughness gained on melee kill.

(2) Additionally per kill, replenishes 2.5% of maximum toughness per second for 4s. This replenishment over time effect can proc multiple times when cleaving and stacks without a cap (the default HUD displays only a limited amount of buff icons).

The effectiveness of this talent's toughness replenishment is affected by certain player debuffs like toxic gas.

This talent also procs on kills by Cyber-Mastiff.


Target Priority
Icon

Remote Detonation
Icon            
Mechanics
Cause an Explosion at your Cyber-Mastiff's Location. Staggering and Electrocuting nearby Enemies. 3 Charges. 60s Cooldown.

Upon use, does two things: (1) It causes an explosion at the location of the Cyber-Mastiff dealing mainly damage to enemies within radius, and (2) it releases a shout at the location of the Cyber-Mastiff applying electrocution and mainly stagger to enemies.

Explosion:
• Explosion radius: 4m (max), 2m (epicenter)
• Suppression radius (explosion): 15m
• Explosion damage: enemies inside epicenter will take more damage, enemies between epicenter and max radius will take less damage depending on distance; base damage epicenter: 600, base damage between epicenter and max radius: 200 (down to 0 at max radius); above average armor damage modifiers across the board, very low armor damage modifier against Carapace

Shout:
• Shout radius: 5m
• Suppression: deals decent suppression to suppressible targets within radius
• Stagger: forces a light stagger on all enemies within radius for 2.5s
• Electrocution: has a tick interval between 0.1s and 0.3s (randomly chosen); lasts for 2s; deals up to 64 base damage per tick when reaching max charge level at 2s; above average armor damage modifiers across the board; the time before the first damage tick can happen depends on enemy hit mass, so the more hit mass an enemy has the longer it will take before this electrocution effect deals damage; increases the damage enemies take by 10% for as long as the electrocution deals damage to them

Buff Interactions: the damage of both the explosion and the electrocution effect is affected by 'rending' / 'brittleness', by perks of currently wielded weapons, by Combat Stimm, and by the following buffs from:

function: reduce_ability_cooldown_time

Additionally to Execution Order's base on kill effect, reduces Arbitrator's remaining ability cooldown by 0.5s per second for 8 seconds additionally to Arbitrator's base ability cooldown rate of 1s per second. This results in a total cooldown reduction of 12s per proc (8s from base rate + 8x0.5s from talent); can be refreshed during active duration.

Procs additionally to the remaining cooldown reduction effects of Targeted Brutality (0.5s or 1s per hit) and Concentration Stimm (3s per second). Does not interact with Combat Ability Regeneration from curios which only reduces the maximum cooldown of a combat ability.

Forceful
Staggering Hits and Blocked Attacks grant Stacks of Forceful. Lasting 5s and stacking 10 times. Each stack gives +5% Impact and +2.5% Damage Resistance. Remove stack on damage taken.

stat buffs:
impact_modifier
damage_taken_multiplier

Hits with melee and ranged attacks, pushes, explosions, Break the Line (direct impact), and Voltaic Shock Mine that successfully stagger the target (including hits against already staggered targets) as well as blocking melee and ranged attacks (shields only) grant stacks of Forceful (up to 10); generates 1 stack per attack, push, explosion, or block, can generate multiple stacks per charge action (Break the Line).

Forceful stacks last for 5s, can be refreshed during active duration, and are dropped one by one. Every instance of damage taken also removes one stack of Forceful (0.25s internal cooldown).

Per Forceful stack, does two things:

(1) Increases stagger strength of attacks by 5% (up to +50%); stacks additively with other stagger buffs, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.

(2) Reduces toughness and health damage taken by 2.5%; the buff stacks multiplicatively with itself, up to ~22.4% damage reduction at max stacks (1-0.975¹⁰=0.2236), and with other damage reduction buffs.
Adamant Will
While at Max Stacks, and for 3s afterwards, Gain Stun Immunity, additionally, your perfect blocks can block all attacks.

buff keywords:
stun_immune
slowdown_immune
block_unblockable

While having 10 stacks of Forceful and for 3s after dropping below 10 stacks of Forceful, does two things:

(1) Grants immunity to stuns and slowdowns from both melee and ranged attacks; lets Arbitrator move through fire patches without hindrance.

(2) On perfect block, allows Arbitrator to block any melee attack, including 'unblockable' attacks (e.g. Crusher or Mauler overheads, Plague Ogryn stomp, etc). This prevents any bleedthrough damage that would have happened otherwise; stamina damage taken is unaffected.

Note that Arbitrator's Shock Maul & Shield and Shotpistol & Shield can block 'unblockable' melee or ranged attacks (Sniper shot) by default with all their blocking actions.

'Perfect block' refers to perfect blocking. This is a blocking state which requires a successfully executed block action within 0.3s against an incoming attack. If the character has been blocking for longer than 0.3s when the to-be-blocked attack hits, it is not a perfect block. By default, a perfect block has no benefit. It is considered as a proc condition.
Will of the Lex
Replenish +0.5% Toughness each second per Stack.

function: recover_percentage_toughness

Per Forceful stack, replenishes 0.5% of maximum toughness per second. This effect remains active while Arbitrator is disabled but is inactive while Arbitrator is knocked down. Does not interact with coherency toughness regeneration.

stat buffs:
attack_speed
max_hit_mass_attack_modifier

While having 10 stacks of Forceful and for 3s after dropping below 10 stacks of Forceful, does two things:

(1) Increases attack animation speed of both ranged and melee weapons by 10%; stacks additively with related buff from Execution Order, Hammer of Judgement, Inspiring Recitation, Lone Wolf, Obstinate, Retaliatory Force, and Celerity Stimm.

(2) Increases the maximum hit mass limit of melee and ranged attacks by 50%, thereby allowing attacks to cleave more enemies. Stacks additively with related buff from Drive them Back, the small cleave node, weapon blessings Devastating Strike, Savage Sweep, and Wrath, and multiplicatively with power level buffs.
Arbites Vigilant
On Combat Ability, Gain +2.5% Strength for each stack. Lasts 10s. Removes all Stacks.

stat buff: power_level_modifier

Upon combat ability use, removes all current stacks of Forceful. Per removed stack of Forceful, increases the power level of melee and ranged attacks, explosions, and DoTs by 2.5% (up to +25%) for 10s; Cyber-Mastiff is unaffected. Stacks additively with other power level buffs, and multiplicatively with damage buffs.

'Power level buffs' increase the base power of attacks which benefits damage, stagger, and cleave (where applicable).
Judicial Force
Stagger nearby Enemies upon reaching 0 Stacks or 10 Stacks. 5s Cooldown (separate for each).

When reaching 10 stacks of Forceful or, alternatively, when reaching 0 stacks of Forceful, creates an explosion at Arbitrator's location that deals no damage but staggers surrounding enemies. The explosion has a radius of 2.5m and staggers all enemies except for Mutants, monstrosities, and Captains/Twins. Each explosion has a 5s internal cooldown that is tracked separately.

Remote det and razor jaw have been changed in hotfix 71.
ThatOneSix 2 Jul @ 8:58am 
It is perhaps worth noting that the bleed from Razor-Jaw is not attributed to the player, and thus does not cause talents like Canine Morale to activate if it gets the final hit on an enemy.
Phra 30 Jun @ 6:28pm 
Thanks for clearing it up, 1 node freed up!
kuli  [author] 30 Jun @ 2:52pm 
@Phra
No, it does not. Suppression Force procs on staggering melee hits, staggering pushes, and Break the Line direct impact hits (as stated). The weapon special of the shield is technically a shout which does not pass these proc conditions.
Phra 30 Jun @ 2:19pm 
Does shield zap proc suppression force? I can't get a straight answer.
Northwind 30 Jun @ 7:27am 
Good to know thankyou.
kuli  [author] 30 Jun @ 7:20am 
Yea, Unleashed Brutality adds some hefty weight values to elites and specials. So it can happen that the dog attacks an elite that is like 10m away from the player instead of targeting a regular enemy that that is right in front of the player and about to attack the player.
Northwind 30 Jun @ 7:15am 
If the normal bahaviour of the dog is to attack Elites and Specials what is the advantage of Unleashed Brutality? Will the dog ever attack, say, a poxwalker if it can attack an Elite/Special instead?
kuli  [author] 29 Jun @ 1:31pm 
Lethal Proximity's buff affects explosions. The shock mine does not create an explosion (except for the little one on self-destruct), it uses a proximity check instead and the range of this is currently not modified by anything.
Calum 29 Jun @ 1:16pm 
kuli, can you confirm that the Bolt Pistol blessing Lethal Proximity buffs the Shock Mine range?

I know it buffs the range of the Impact Grenade, as Ive seen myself in the Psykhanium.
