==Notes==
*At close range, the MOA will always prefer melee attacks over shooting the equipped weapon.

** Can be increased by equipping status chance-increasing mods on the MOA's equipped weapon.
*Melee attacks have no (or a very low) base critical chance.
**Can achieve critical hits when the MOA is buffed by .
*Melee attacks trigger and , unlike .
* does not apply to melee attacks.
*Hard Engage is NOT affected by the MOA's equipped weapon stats, including any innate elements. Hard Engage is, however, affected by most of the weapon's equipped mods.
**The weapon's type (such as Shotgun, Rifle, or Pistol) will determine which mods are available.
**Multishot, Fire Rate, Reload, and Ammo mods have no effect, due to not applying to melee attacks.
**Mods that increase Impact damage, such as , will increase the damage dealt.
**() may be a good candidate; like Hard Engage, it primarily deals Impact damage, has usable Status Chance, and poor Critical stats, and can utilize multiple +Damage mods (() , , and ), since multishot does not apply.
**Hard Engage can proc modded elements from the MOA's equipped weapon via . The status chance seems to be Hard Engage's hidden status chance.
==Trivia==
*Currently the only rare/non-common mod exclusive to MOAs.
**In addition, as one of the mods with a max rank of 5, it ends up costing significantly more to max, compared to other MOA mods.
