Other Aspects of this Weapon

Dashing turns you invisible; breaking stealth guarantees a crit

Aspect of Nyx

Dashing briefly turns you invisible. The first attack out of stealth is a guaranteed critical that also applies a blinding curse. Strong for both burst damage and disengaging from a bad situation.

Mortar hits charge your Hex faster and make it stronger

Aspect of Selene

Mortar hits accelerate the charge on your current Hex and lower the threshold needed to fire it. The only Aspect in the game built specifically around Hex uptime.
