    Notes[edit | edit source]

    • This mod can be installed on Exalted Melee Weapons, but it does not work on any exalted weapons.
    • Any damage over time effects from Heavy Attacks will not benefit from Life Strike.
    • Life Strike works on Gunblade's heavy attack bullets, allowing lifesteal over a distance.
    • Life Strike works on Glaive weapons, but only on manually-detonated explosions and heavy attack ground slams.
      • Explosions from  Volatile Quick Return or  Volatile Rebound do not work.
      • While Life Strike can be installed on the  Deconstructor ( Prime),  Helios ( Prime) cannot manually detonate its weapon let alone perform any heavy ground slams and thus cannot gain any benefit.

    Trivia[edit | edit source]

    • Unlike most mods, the picture shows an  Excalibur wearing the Pendragon helmet, his Immortal Skin, as well as a different color scheme. This is a rare instance of a mod depicting a non-default character loadout. The other examples are Second Wind,  True Punishment,  Enduring Strike, Warrior's Grip,  Killing Blow,  Quickening,  Corrupt Charge,  Counter Pulse, and  Flow ( Primed), all but two of which are channeling mods. Coincidentally, all of said channeling mods depict Excalibur wielding a  Nikana. The only difference in each appearance (besides positioning) is the energy color used.
    • Prior to Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), this mod provided life steal on Channeling while reducing Channeling Efficiency.
