History of Collective Pugilism

Overview

Collective Pugilism is a Basic Trait from Season 27. Collecting an Elemental pickup or destroying a Tangle gives the weapon a stacking period of melee energy generation on hit. Throwing a Tangle adds more time to that period.

Elemental pickups that trigger it are Solar Firesprites, Void Breaches, Arc Ionic Traces, Stasis Shards and Strand Tangles.

The wiki does not give the length of the effect, the stack limit or the energy gained per hit. It rolls on about 20 weapons (see the Rolls on list). No source here describes how players pair it, so no god roll is given.
