Description[]
The Rite of Authority is a MED weapon in the Sword category that can be obtained by reaching Seneschal Rank in the Command division under the Authority Ensign Origin and speaking to Warden Jericho.
Critical[]
The user performs a Thundercall-infused upslash, shocking the opponent and sending them flying. If the attack lands, the user leaps into the air and plunges downwards, striking and shocking the opponent again.
The first hit has 0.7x scaled damage, the second hit has 1x scaled damage.
If the first hit is blocked, it will deal 3 posture damage and won't progress to the second hit. If the second hit is blocked, it will deal 9.5 posture damage.
This critical will turn blue if the user has Surge: Unstable Capacitor with the shock being replaced with Surge Rods.
The critical has a cooldown of 6 seconds.
Trivia[]
- Despite the Attunement requirement, this weapon is enchantable and does not scale on Thundercall.
- There was a bug when this weapon released where you could Motif it, though strangely the Rite of Authority Motif was only compatible with Rapiers.
- If you frequently lag, have low FPS, or are on a lower end device, you will often miss the second half of the critical attack.
