History of Ascending Amplitude

Ascending Amplitude is the Exotic intrinsic perk of Stormdancer's Brace. Stormtrance hits build its damage bonus, and ending the Super refunds energy. Bungie’s January 23, 2025 article previewed a damage increase and Ionic Blink cost reduction; those changes shipped in Update 8.2.0 on February 4, 2025, which also lowered the maximum Super-energy refund from 50% to 30%.
