2) Machine Learning

A subskill under the Vulnerable Analytics, this allows you to capitalize further on the damage you deal from its parent relic skill. When you destroy a vulnerability, it causes a 10% increase in the chance of new vulnerabilities appearing and a 5% increase in crit damage against vulnerabilities. These can stack up to five times, doubling their bonuses at max stacks.
