The Lament Catalyst

Once installed, the catalyst gives the weapon Burning Ambition: sustained damage scorches the target, and damage to a scorched target spreads scorch. Solar scorch fits a Sword that already heals on hit, since the burn keeps working between swings.

Banshee's Wail is the intrinsic of The Lament: holding block revs the blade for more damage and shield-piercing on every attack, revved hits build stacks, and more stacks raise heavy attack damage and damage resistance. Enduring Guard: the Sword guard lasts long but resists little; Tireless Blade: every other powered Sword kill grants Sword ammo; Revved Consumption: damaging a combatant heals the wielder.

Its objective is to defeat targets with The Lament; the kill count is tracked on the weapon. Progress shows on the catalyst's record in the Exotic Catalysts section of the Triumphs screen.

• The Lament catalyst, unlocked and delivered to your account, without the masterwork step.
• Extras on the order form: Add Catalyst Masterwork.

• The Lament already unlocked on the account, because the catalyst is slotted into that Sword.

Is the masterwork part of the lot?

The catalyst is ordered on its own. The masterwork step is the extra named Add Catalyst Masterwork, so tick it if the catalyst should be masterworked as well.
