Original Reddit post

Thought I’d post this here as it doesn’t seem to be reported anywhere else (that I can see atm). I bought a Zorya’s tome the other day, took it to yama (800+ KC), and was confused when I started dying to the red glyph special attack even after stepping in it correctly. I noticed in the chat box a message saying “The glyph of fire is consumed to power your attack”. I did some quick googling and found out about an interaction between the Volatile & Eldritch staff special attacks for the red glyph (and also SGS for blue), where it consumes the damage absorbing effect in order to boost the damage of your special attack. It then dawned on me that this only started happening to me once I’d brought a Zorya’s Tome to try as a spec attack, and then concluded that the Zorya’s Tome ALSO shares the same "Special attack empowerment effect, as the Eldrictch/Volatile Staff). I have only done 30 or so kills since getting the Zorya’s Tome, and have not fully tested this interaction to understand whether the boosted effect applies to all 4 hits, or just the first initial “spec” hit, as I did die after using it each time due to the meteor special, so if someone better at the game than me wants to test whether it can shake up the yama mage meta, that would be great. TLDR: Zorya’s Tome can consume red glyph damage absorbing effect to increase special attack damage at Yama. submitted by /u/Marbadee
