Regular Instincts can come in one of five Rarity tiers. Rarity provides a major boost to an Instinct's value and potency. An Instinct has a chance of being of a higher tier when first encountered, or upgraded in tier when encountered again if you already possess it. The chance for this occurring can be improved by investing in Runic Gate upgrades.
The base values for Blasting Bolts's effect per Rarity tier is as follows:
- Common: 15% chance; 4 damage
- Uncommon: 25% chance; 8 damage
- Rare: 35% chance; 12 damage
- Epic: 50% chance; 16 damage

Regular Instincts can be upgraded to the next Rank when acquired again after the first time in a Cycle. Upgrading an Instinct to the next Rank will provide a minor boost to its value. Blasting Bolts receives +%? chance and +? damage bonus per Rank.
