Es un acto de amor.
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
A Rafa-exclusive class MOD that raises the base by increasing the chance that APOPHIS Lance’s charge does not decrease, allowing you to keep firing Action Skill for longer. The more charges you use at once, the more likely non-consumption occurs, and the dedicated status also greatly increases skill damage. It is a one for Rafa players who want to keep swinging with APOPHIS Lance as the main axis.
🧩 Red text source In Spanish, it means “It’s an act of love”. It can be read as a black‑humor wordplay that contrasts with the name “Buster” (destroyer / one who beats down) by rephrasing violence as “love”. The specific external source such as a particular movie, song, or literature is (unverified) (no confirmed source beyond a general Spanish expression).
What kind of class MOD? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Rafa (Exo Soldier line) exclusive Legendary class MOD
- Theme is APOPHIS Lance charge conservation (increase firing potential)
- APOPHIS Lance has a 25% chance to not consume charges = effectively you can fire more.
- The more charges you use at once, the higher the chance of non-consumption.
- Dedicated status +45% Skill Damage (skill damage increase) = AS firepower itself is also raised.
- A one that fits builds that keep cycling APOPHIS Lance.
Unique Effects (Mechanics)
The dedicated status
+N%is a level‑dependent reference value (2026-08-06 added) The following+N%originates from Lootlemon / MentalMars. In the actual game, the dedicated status values change with level (what is fixed is the status type, not the numbers).
- Measured: duration and damage types are Lv45 = +41% / Lv47 = +43%. Other MODs / other VHs have the same values at the same Lv (not dependent on individual roll or prefix) = provisional formula
value% = Lv − 4- With this formula, the Web’s
+45%is written as a fixed value equivalent to Lv49.- ⚠️ Whether numbers from other lines such as
+23%/+60%follow this formula is (unverified) (CD speed types may be Lv‑independent with +23% at Lv45/47).
Buster: APOPHIS Lance Charge Non‑Consumption Rate 25%. The more Charges used at once, the higher the chance. Dedicated status +45% Skill Damage.
- In‑game: APOPHIS Lance charge non‑consumption rate 25%. The more charges used at once, the higher the chance.
- Web (Lootlemon): APOPHIS Lance gains a 25% Chance to not consume Charges. The more Charges used at once, the greater the Chance. Rafa’s Buster Class mod always comes with the Stat: +45% Skill Damage
- Dedicated status +45% Skill Damage (skill damage increase)
- ※Skill bonuses (+N) and accompanying stats vary per individual (＝selection point).
- Weakness: The benefit assumes APOPHIS Lance = builds that do not use that skill become a death ability.

Build Synergy
- Core of APOPHIS Lance main‑axis builds: charge non‑consumption stabilizes lance spamming, +45% Skill Damage also raises firepower.
- Directly linked to high‑charge‑consumption builds: the more charges you dump at once, the higher the non‑consumption chance = good synergy with burst‑fire builds.
- Skill damage amplification and stacking: with the dedicated +45% Skill Damage, adding other skill‑damage‑boosting gear/skills further increases it.
- ※The target skills that receive the bonus vary per individual (＝selection point).
Summary
- Rafa (Exo Soldier) exclusive. Core of AS spamming that keeps cycling APOPHIS Lance with charge non‑consumption
- Dedicated +45% Skill Damage also greatly increases skill firepower
- The benefit assumes APOPHIS Lance = exclusive to builds that use that skill
- Obtained from Primal Guardian Origo (Arch of Origo)
