History of Acolyte's Staff

Overview

Acolyte's Staff was the artifact of Season of the Witch (Season 22, 2025). Its bonus power levels grew as the season progressed, and it carried artifact mods. The artifact is no longer active now that the season has ended.

Acquisition

Sources differ on the exact steps. One guide says the staff is granted when you start the season during the Way of the Witch mission. Another says you first complete the Seasonal Introductory Mission, which appears in your Directory at the start of the season, and then visit Eris Morn at the H.E.L.M. to receive it. Both agree that the staff stays in your inventory until the season ends.

Leveling and mods

The staff gains a share of the XP you earn and levels up as you do. Each level grants bonus Power levels and unlocks artifact mods. The mods are grouped by tier:

• Tier 1: Anti-Barrier Auto Rifle, Piercing Bowstring, Unstoppable Scout Rifle, Overload Hand Cannon and Unstoppable Fusion.
• Tier 2: Arc, Solar and Void Strand Siphon combos, Origin Perk Specialization I, and Diviner's Discount.
• Tier 3: Thanatotic Tangles, Origin Perk Specialization II, and Elemental Orbs (Void, Arc, Solar).
• Tier 4: Overload Machine Guns, Elemental Fury, Communal Pickups, Refreshing Pickups and Semi-Auto Striker.
• Tier 5: Monochromatic Maestro, Rapid-Fire Ranger, Elemental Embrace, Elemental Munitions and Frenzied Stacks.
