Borealis' rounds are charged with Light, and can be switched between Arc, Solar, and Void Energy upon the alternate fire command. As a weapon able to switch between all 3 elements, it may seem to harbor much utility for endgame content where multiple shields may be encountered, and modifiers such as Match Game may apply. However, due to its reliance on Special Ammo, it is outclassed by its sister weapon, Hard Light, which utilizes Primary Ammo and can also swap between all 3 Light elements. Ionic Return does provide a 40% damage boost in PVE after breaking a matching shield with it, until the magazine empties or a manual reload is performed, so it can still be effectively utilized if a player so wishes to use it. | Borealis' rounds are charged with Light, and can be switched between Arc, Solar, and Void Energy upon the alternate fire command.
