What is the Tectonic Shifter Tree in Outriders Worldslayer¶

The final middle path skill in the Tectonic Shifter Tree, Energy Transmission focuses around you using KINETIC Skills to boost the damage of SEISMIC Skills and alternatively using SEISMIC Skills to reduce the cooldown of KINETIC Skills, so this is a great skill for players that have both types of skills as a part of your build. However, there are two other final skills you can opt for in the Tectonic Shifter, Multistrike (Top Path) and Momentum (Bottom Path).

The top path which features Multistrike focuses on using SEISMIC Skills to boost the damage of other SEISMIC Skills, so this is a great skill for players that have multiple SEISMIC Skill equipped. Finally, the bottom path which features Momentum focuses on using KINETIC Skills to reduce the cooldown of other KINETIC Skills, so this is a great skill for players that have multiple KINETIC Skills equipped.
