Melee Increased Speed And Damage Taken Moderate — Detailed Guide

This is the Moderate tier of an ASA item trait for melee weapons, added with the Wasteland content. It trades safety for tempo: you attack faster, but you also take more damage while it is active. Moderate is the stronger of the two tiers, with Lesser as the weaker version.

What it is used for

Traits are applied to gear to change how it behaves. This one suits players who fight in short, aggressive bursts and can avoid getting hit.

Tips

The extra damage taken applies to you, so pair it with good armor and healing rather than using it on a fragile build.
