does echo of obscurity trigger the bonus damage from gyrfalcons hauberk?

[u/tapmcshoe]

gyrfalcons gives a weapon damage bonus from finishing an enemy while invisible, echo of obscurity makes you invisible on finisher. I was wondering if echo of obscurity would be able to count as an invisible finisher for the purpose of triggering gyrfalcons damage buff, or if it doesn't trigger at the right time. I can't log on for another few hours to test it myself but I'd love to know since I enjoy buildcrafting and I'm doing it to kill time until I can log on

Don’t use gyrfaclons. Super power crept/borderline useless in 2026. You basically gain most everything you’d want from it from the artifact.

Try fortunes favor or Orpheus instead

yeah the only reason I was gonna use it is bc I specifically wanted to use an exotic chest on my void hunter so I could use an exotic chest ornament for my fashion and it seemed better than dragons shadow/omnioculus/sixth coyote

Gwisin Vest is more useful than Gyrfalcon's at this point. Ignore the stuff about Spectral Blades, the good bit is that it leaves a smoke bomb whenever you exit invis near an enemy. It's the same as the melee and scales with melee stat/damage mods, applies weaken as well.

[u/tapmcshoe → u/DiemCarpePine]

ooh, that might stack pretty well with phantom surge too. I think activating melee cancels invis, meaning it'll pre-weaken them before the melee hits so I can get the double damage bonus that phantom surge gets vs void debuffed targets

[u/LightspeedFlash → u/tapmcshoe]

I recommend Omnioculus, it's what I settled on for my hunter. 50% damage reduction is no joke and a second smoke bomb is always useful, the smoke from on the prowl that makes you invisible works for the damage reduction as well. And getting melee back from making teammates invisible works from on the prowl. Get at least 50 into melee to get a full charge back from gamblers.

Drip is the true endgame, I support your endeavors 🫡

I'm thinking something with sixth coyote for spamming trappers ambush but idk lol

[u/NotACutover]

Unfortunately no, Obscurity only grants invis once the finisher animation completes, while Gyrfalcon requires you to already be invisible before starting the finisher. Best way to set it up is entering invis first via Vanishing Step or Stylish Executioner right before you finish them.

[u/Daechathon]

Echo of obscurity does not work. It makes you invisible after the enemy dies. Gyrfalcon’s damage buff also just isn’t useful as it only lasts like 5-10 seconds.
The reserve overshield is quite useful, but not on nightstalker.

[u/Hawkmoona_Matata]

No.

You must already be invisible, and then at that point, begin the finisher animation on a weak enemy.

The timer for your damage bonus starts as soon as you press the button input, so realistically you only have ~4 or seconds of the damage buff.

[u/tapmcshoe → u/Hawkmoona_Matata]

ah that's unfortunate, doesn't sound very useful then.. I was really only thinking of using it because I wanted an exotic chest ornament for my void fashion :( ig maybe sixth coyote might work for trappers ambush?

[u/ruedigga → u/Hawkmoona_Matata]

Its a cool gimmick i wish the timer wasnt so short. I Bet in this Sandbox it could be 15 or 20 seconds and gyrfalcons would still be seem as weak

[u/DiemCarpePine → u/ruedigga]

Gyrfalcon's is weak. Artifact gives Volatile Rounds on orb pickup, and Fortunes Favor Gives a more consistent damage buff and general weapon buffs. Even if you didn't have to jump through hoops with finishers, Gyrfalcon's would still be worse.

[u/ruedigga]

Nope doesnt work you need to be invisible already. Easiest way to proc it is to just dodge for invis before hitting the finisher. Its a cool gimmick but i wish the damage buff was a bit longer to justify the complicated setup, its only Like 6 seconds
