Arcanes
Archon Shards — 5 slots (profile: Whipclaw)
Whipclaw is an Exalted melee weapon (x2 crit, combo up to x12): it uses melee crit, not the status-gated bonuses. With Primed Flow Khora reaches 541.5 Max Energy, so each Violet gives +50% (+75% Tauforged): with Organ Shatter the crit multiplier goes from x3.8 to x8.3 Tauforged. Health and Armor because Khora has only 290 armor: about +75% effective HP (Tauforged shards, shields included). Without Primed Flow: 3 Crimson (Melee Critical Damage) instead. Values: official wiki, 22 October 2026.
⚠️ « Evergreen » builds generated per archetype — the meta evolves. Adjust to the mods, arcanes and shards you own. All 3 tiers only use real in-game mods.
