Torch is an Artifact Perk.

Acquisition

Unlocked on tier 3 of the Queensfoil Censer Seasonal Artifact during Season of the Wish.

Usage

While this perk is unlocked and you have the Radiant buff active, your weapons deal increased damage to enemies affected by Strand or Stasis debuffs.

Damage Bonus

• Provides 5% increased weapon damage
• Only applies to debuffed targets
• Works against all enemy types including bosses
• Does not stack with multiple applications

Valid Debuffs

Strand Debuffs:

• Sever - Reduces target damage output
• Suspend - Lifts target helplessly in air
• Unravel - Causes targets to emit damaging projectiles

Stasis Debuffs:

• Slow - Reduces movement and ability regeneration
• Freeze - Completely immobilizes target
• Encased state counts as frozen

Activation Requirements

1. Must have Radiant buff active (from any source) 2. Target must be affected by qualifying debuff 3. Damage bonus applies immediately when both conditions met

Build Synergies

Radiant Sources

• Flint Striker - Easy Radiant from Solar weapons
• Solar abilities and fragments
• Orb pickup with appropriate mods
• Team support abilities

Debuff Application

• Strand weapons with Unraveling Rounds
• Stasis weapons with Chill Clip or Headstone
• Subclass abilities that apply debuffs
• Team coordination for debuff coverage

Strategic Applications

• Boss DPS: 5% bonus stacks with other damage modifiers
• Champion Stunning: Extra damage while Champions are debuffed
• Add Clear: Frozen/suspended enemies take more damage
• Team Synergy: Coordinate debuffs for consistent bonus

Limitations

• Requires maintaining two conditions simultaneously
• Only affects weapon damage, not abilities
• Cannot stack multiple instances
• Dependent on debuff availability

Seasonal Context

Torch bridged the gap between Season of the Wish's Solar focus and Strand/Stasis elements:

• Complemented Solar-centric perks with cross-element synergy
• Rewarded diverse loadouts mixing damage types
• Encouraged team coordination across elements

Notes

• The 5% bonus is multiplicative with other damage buffs
• Works with any weapon type while conditions are met
• Particularly effective in activities with elemental surges
• Name references both illumination (Radiant) and burning (damage)
