Volcanic Heart Summary
The Volcanic Heart is a Scout Rifle. A firearm created by fabricating and implanting a micro-core that mimics the mechanisms of the Colossi Infernal Walker and Molten Fortress. To control the heat, technology used in Transcendent Weapons was integrated into its energy circulation system to prevent the barrel from melting.
- Name: Volcanic Heart
- Type: Scout Rifle
- Tier: Transcendent

Transcendent Ability – Volcanic Heart
Transcendent weapons with quality range 4 get to spend up to 150 points on the three perks of the weapon.
Because we use this as a stat stick for characters like Blair, Esiemo, or Lepic, we want to get as much Fire Skill Power Amplification Rate as possible to boost the damage of our skills.
- Fire Skill Power Amplification Rate – Max 150 points. As high as you can get it with your weapon.
- On hitting an enemy inflicted with Pulsating Ember – Zero points.
- Magma Damage – Zero points.
Sub Ability Perks
Getting good Sub Abilities is a gamble, so don’t worry too much about it if you don’t get good rolls. Here are the best perks that you can roll:
- Fire Skill Enhancement
- Lethal Arche (If your character is Crit-based)
- Fire Skill Maneuver
Basically, anything that boosts your skill damage further is good.
Volcanic Heart Lore Info
The Ultimate Project for the Descendants was undoubtedly a phenomenal achievement, but it was ultimately a result that relied heavily on the wisdom of the Magisters. However, the engineering team at Albion Headquarters was not satisfied with this. By reverse-engineering countless pieces of Ultimate equipment, they accumulated a vast amount of engineering data and finally succeeded in creating a new class of weaponry that completely shattered the existing standards for Ultimate Weapons. Albion Headquarters bestowed the name Transcendent Weapons upon these advanced instruments of destruction.
The core technology underlying Transcendent Weapons lies in the “Forced Collapse of the Arche Critical Point.” Drawing inspiration from the mechanism of Ultimate Equipment, which pushes each Descendant’s potential to the extreme, the engineering team succeeded in integrating a specialized power circulation system capable of transcending physical limits internally to the firearms. Miniaturizing a massive power reactor to the size of a personal firearm was considered nearly impossible, but the relentless determination of Albion’s engineers had finally broken through the limits.
“If it was the Magisters’ wisdom that led the Descendants to the Ultimate, it was the sweat and tenacity of Albion that ‘transcended’ their weapons.”
The Infernal Walker and the Molten Fortress. The idea of mimicking the ignition mechanisms of these two Colossi, which had nearly reduced Ingris to ashes, and implanting them into a micro-core bordered on sheer madness. If this had been a normal firearm, the sheer heat would have turned the barrel into molten slag the instant the core was activated.
But the sheer power of the Transcendent Weapons’ energy circulation system, designed to break all limits, turned this crazy idea into reality. By perfectly controlling and circulating the raging heat inside the barrel without letting it leak out, the Volcanic Heart, a firearm that spews the blazing flames of the Colossi, came into being.
