The item’s signature line, and the half that decides which Aniimo wants it. It does not change with the rarity.
How to use the Vanguard's Whistle
The Core effect is the mirror of the Finisher Bell: 25% more actual damage while the target is above 70% HP, and nothing after that. It opens fights rather than closing them, which suits an Aniimo swapped in for the first burst.
10 other carried items share the Damage Amp Base effect: Ferocious Fang, Explosive Gloves, Fission Needles, Ambusher's Cloak, Capacitous Battery, Destiny's Dice, Echoing Grimoire, Finisher Bell, Heartseeker Pendant, Supreme Elixir. The Core effect is what separates them.
