What it does: After the activation condition shown by the current game is satisfied, Latent Power temporarily improves affinity and stamina-use efficiency according to the equipped level.
Who should consider it
- Stamina-intensive weapons that can use the active window
- Affinity plans that track conditional uptime honestly
- Longer hunts where activation can occur during meaningful pressure
When it is less useful
It should not be counted as permanent affinity, and it loses value when the hunt or phase ends before the active window produces useful attacks.
Useful pairings
- Critical Boost only when real active affinity justifies it
- Constitution or Stamina Surge when they solve a separate measured constraint
- Rey Dau-related set support when the complete set and version make that interaction available
How to evaluate it
- Observe when the skill actually activates in a real hunt.
- Separate inactive and active affinity in build comparisons.
- Confirm the current duration, values, and activation wording in game.
