Anthem: 15 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

12. Each Javelin Uses Combos Differently

The other side to Primers and Detonators is specific status/damage effects triggering based on which Javelin activated the Detonator itself.

- Ranger: Deals bonus non-elemental damage to the target that was Detonated.

- Storm: Whatever Primer effect was applied gets spread to nearby enemies, setting them up for further Detonations.

- Colossus: Non-elemental splash damage spreads to nearby enemies.

- Interceptor: Gain an aura based on the Detonator type that was used. This then inflicts proximity damage you can further combine with your melee attack of choice.

As you can see, team composition can entirely be built around who Primes what, who Detonates what, and when. These tactics are essential for late-game play and will let you survive on higher difficulty, but more on that later.
