Artemis Chrome | Code Vein Wiki

Artemis Chrome
A highly valuable mineral made from a special ore mixed with blood. Ask Murasame to use this to transform a Weapon or Blood Veil into a drain-specialized equipment with an enhanced drain rating. But at the cost of decreased weapon and gift attack properties.

Artemis Chrome is a Crafting Material in Code Vein. Items are used for a variety of purposes, such as consumable buffs, key items, and as upgrade materials. Items can be looted from Enemies and/or Bosses, chests, given by NPCs, and are sold by Merchants.

Artemis Chrome Usage

• Ask Rin Murasame to use this to transform a Weapon or Blood Veil to increase their Drain Rating properties.

Artemis Chrome Locations

You may find Artemis Chrome in the following Locations:

• x2, x3 and x3 Can be traded with Mia for 10 trading points each.
• Every certain amount of given trading points, she restocks more of these chromes.
  • If the player reaches enough trading points in that playthrough to achieve a total of approximately 550 trading points with Mia they will stock an unlimited amount of these chromes.
    • The game only checks for points that have been acquired in that playthrough. This means the player can obtain and spend points as they wish. It does not need to be obtained all at once.

Notes and Tips

• When used on weapons: Increases its Drain Rating on attacks between 30 to 40% (multiplies base drain rating by x1.3 to x1.4), which depends on Weapon Class, and its defense Drain Rating by 50% for all weapon classes. It then lowers the weapon's base damage by 20% (except for halberds, which have an additional but slight penalty, stated below).
• When used on Blood Veils: Increases their drain rating by 50% and lowers 20% of their base Drain Damage and Base Light/Dark Gift Rating.

Trivia

• Halberd weapons have the strange formula of having their base damage reduced by 20% (like all weapons), and their scaling damage by 0.25% (So a x0.80 multiplier of their base damage and x0.975 multiplier of their scaling damage, respectively). The scaling multiplier also varies slightly between upgrade levels, giving higher upgrade levels a slightly higher (but still insignificant) penalty.
• It means that while their damage suffers slightly more than other weapon classes, it's still almost negligible to make a difference.
• There's no apparent reason why this formula is different for halberds, even as far as balancing purposes go, since drain rating is usually better stacked for weapons with fast-attacking movesets.
