Overview
The Judgement Slot is one of the second "levels" of the Incarnate System. The slot was launched with Issue 20, and requires a Going Rogue retail code to utilize.
Judgement Slot Benefits
The Judgement Slot is unlocked by accumulating Psychic Incarnate Experience. There are two ways to recieve this:
- Running the Behavioral Adjustment Facility Incarnate Trial.
- Directly purchasing Psychic Incarnate Experience using Incarnate Threads and Inf.
Note that the Judgement Slot cannot be unlocked without first unlocking the Alpha Slot
Once the Judgement Slot is unlocked, the character can fill the Judgement Slot with a Judgement Slot Ability which unlocks new AoE and cone-shaped attack powers.
The Unlocking Process
The normal course of unlocking the Judgement Slot follows this general plan:
- Accumulating Psychic Incarnate Experience to unlock the Judgement Slot.
- Determine which Judgement Slot Ability works best for said character. That will determine which Incarnate Components are required to craft.
- Run Incarnate Trials to get certain Incarnate Components. Alternatively, a character can accumulate enough Incarnate Threads from defeating foes in the trial in order to craft the Components necessary. The second method is usually more time consuming, but is accessible for more casual players.
- Craft and equip the Judgement Slot Ability.
- The character can now work towards another or a higher tiered Judgement Slot Ability.
Judgement Slot Mechanics
- Characters can switch between Judgement Abilities by simply equipping a new ability. The old ability is not lost, but simply switched out. There is a 5 minute cool down between equips. Also, equipping an ability is prohibited by being in combat and may require additional cool down time or leaving the mission to equip.
- The Judgement Ability cannot be slotted or changed in Ouroboros.
- Higher-tier Judgement Abilities consume a lower tier ability when crafted. Characters can have several higher-tiered abilities, but if they're in the same 'tree', then they'll have to re-craft the lower tiered ability again for each higher-tiered ability they want to have.
