Description
Embedded in the deceased's brow, piercing through the crevice of matter, this bullet forever resides where its bullet hole should be. Used to level up Traces moderately for The Hunt characters.
Lore
It traversed the winding paths amidst legions of soldiers, pierced through the weakest point of the stoutest helmets, and finally came to rest at the center of the skull of the invincible tyrant, emitting a whisper-like sigh. Its arrival came like a fatal coincidence. Its arrival was akin to an endpoint that all were fated to meet. "Sometimes, the bullet hole precedes the trajectory."
Farm it smart
A Trace (skill tree) material. Harsh truth: traces devour materials late-game, especially levels 8–10. Do not level evenly — pour into Skill/Ultimate (your main damage) first, Basic ATK last.
