# Outburst

<details open>

<summary>What is Outburst ?</summary>

<mark style="color:violet;">The Secondary Outburst</mark> arcane is extremely powerful — arguably the **strongest** in the game.\
At full potential, it grants <mark style="color:violet;">+240% Critical Chance and +240% Critical Damage</mark> to your secondary weapon.\\

\
To trigger it, it consumes your current <mark style="color:violet;">melee combo</mark> multiplier upon swapping to a secondary weapon, granting +20% Critical Chance and Critical Damage <mark style="color:violet;">per combo</mark> multiplier consumed.\
This means that if your melee weapon is at x6 combo and you swap to your secondary, it will consume your entire combo stack and grant you <mark style="color:violet;">+120% Critical Chance and Critical Damage.</mark>

<summary>Maintaining Outburst at maximum</summary>

As you can imagine, Secondary Outburst is essential in Disruption. To keep it active at its maximum value consistently, runners use a simple mechanic that allows them to permanently maintain the arcane at full strength.\\

\
To do so, you will need the Vazarin focus school and its second ability — Void Snare — as well as a melee weapon equipped with the Melee Crescendo arcane.\
Cast Void Snare into a group of enemies. The ability creates a vortex that pulls nearby enemies together and ragdolls them, leaving them vulnerable and unable to act.

Once they are grouped and downed, simply execute them using your context action (default: X on PC). This performs ground finishers, which permanently increase your melee combo counter through Melee Crescendo.

Your initial combo is now stacked — and permanently so.\\
