Understand Arca Scisco
Useful when…
- Consider the described five-successive-hit condition when evaluating its use.
- Use its listed semi-automatic hitscan attack and 36-round magazine as the baseline handling facts.
Successive-hit description
The description says the weapon analyzes strikes and achieves maximum damage output after five successive hits. It does not quantify the damage change or specify how misses, pauses, or aiming affect the condition.
Normal attack
The normal attack fires at about 4.67 shots per second and lists 60 damage per shot: 36 Puncture and 24 Slash. It has 18% critical chance, a 1.6× critical multiplier, and 26% status chance. Magazine capacity is 36, reload time is 2.2 seconds, and listed accuracy is 32.
Other conditional pistols
Knell is scoped and its description says headshots briefly enable rapid fire, critical damage, and no ammo use. Sepulcrum's primary fire fuels a separate lock-on secondary fire. Athodai Prime's description says weak-point kills trigger Overdrive. These are distinct conditions from Arca Scisco's described successive-hit condition.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The description ties maximum damage output to five successive hits but does not quantify the change or explain the condition's implementation.
- The semi-automatic attack has a 36-round magazine and 2.2-second reload.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the five-hit condition grants a particular numerical bonus or lasts a particular duration.
- Assuming aiming is required for the condition to work.
