The chained overloads deal overall less damage and do not prime targets for Tech Bursts. However, they can detonate Fire, Cryo, and Tech explosions. This makes it very unique ability that allows detonating multiple combos in single-use
The Neural Shock upgrade is much better than it sounds. It hits an organic enemy two times, greatly increasing its damage.
It can stagger protected enemies
This aiblity is very effective against Barriers, even better than Warp.
