In Eternium, the Bombardment weapon enchantment gives your Bounty Hunter’s firearms an offensive proc that calls down explosive artillery shells on target zones. This secondary area-of-effect (AoE) burst damages surrounding enemies on impact. It bypasses single-target bottlenecks during high-density trial waves and standard farming runs.
Because weapon enchantments do not transfer between items, only craft Bombardment onto permanent Level 70 Legendary or Celestial pistols that already feature your desired primary attributes.
Required Materials and Prerequisites
Crafting the Bombardment rune requires rare reagents gathered through salvaging, trial progression, and quest rewards. Ensure your Blacksmith or Enchanting station has adequate mastery before spending rare reagents, as under-leveled stations yield lower-tier output rolls.
| Material | Primary Source | Enchantment Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Mark of the Titans | High-level Trials, Act bosses, salvage | Core legendary crafting reagent |
| Enchanted Essence (Fire/Earth) | Salvaging rare and legendary gear | Dictates elemental affinity and tier |
| Greater Crafting Dust | Daily quest caches, gear salvaging | Base recipe binder |
| Gold | Story farming (such as Morgenheim) | Direct crafting fee |
Step-by-Step Weapon Enchantment Process
Visit the Blacksmith in town once you have acquired your target Level 70 pistol and the necessary materials.
- Select your base weapon: Verify that your equipped or inventoried pistol carries optimal endgame stats, such as Power, Critical Damage, and Ability Rate.
- Open the Enchant tab: Speak to the Blacksmith in town and switch to the Enchant interface.
- Locate Bombardment: Scroll the recipe list to find the Bombardment rune, then verify the proc parameters and stat bonuses in the preview window.
- Check reagent quantities: Confirm you meet the required counts for Marks of the Titans, elemental essences, and Greater Crafting Dust.
- Craft and bind: Pay the gold cost to finalize the enchantment, then apply the finished rune to your chosen firearm.
Build Synergies and Practical Limitations
Bombardment scales directly with high attack speed and target grouping. Rapid firing cycles create more proc opportunities per second, which lets you clear large enemy packs rapidly.
- Rapid-Fire skills: Channeled rapid attacks maximize the number of hits landed per second, triggering frequent artillery falls.
- Demolitionist sets: Armor and set bonuses centered on explosive ordinance complement Bombardment's area damage profile.
- Vortex and pull effects: Pairing the proc with crowd-control abilities that compress enemy clusters ensures maximum splash overlap per detonation.
Tactical Constraints
The Bombardment enchant relies heavily on enemy density to maintain value. Against isolated trial bosses such as Elban or Magroth, the explosive splash radius loses efficiency because no surrounding targets exist to absorb extra damage.
Additionally, dense explosion graphics can obscure ground-telegraphed enemy attacks. Maintain active hero movement in close quarters to avoid standing inside hidden boss mechanics while the enchantment detonates.
