Astilla

Separate the slug from the explosion

The Slug Impact is a projectile traveling at a listed speed of 120. It deals 70 Impact damage, with a 17% critical chance, 1.9× critical multiplier, and 33% status chance. The Glass Explosion is a separate AoE attack: it deals 78 Slash and 42 Puncture, with the same listed critical and status values. Its falloff is listed from 0 to 2.4 with a 0.3 reduction; no distance unit is specified. Do not treat the two attacks as one damage type or assume the explosion has the slug's 40-to-60 falloff values.

Firing and upgrade considerations

Astilla fires automatically at 4.33 attacks per second, holds 16 rounds, and reloads in 2 seconds. Its 33% status chance makes status investment a reasonable consideration; its 17% critical chance and 1.9× multiplier are more modest listed starting values, so weigh critical upgrades against the build you intend to use rather than assuming a final result. The weapon has listed Madurai and Naramon polarities for slot planning and requires Mastery Rank 10. Gara's signature version is described as having a larger ammo pool; that description should not be applied to the ordinary weapon's listed 16-round magazine.

Related shotgun options

Astilla Prime is described as a Prime form of Gara's signature glass-slug shotgun. Cedo instead combines a ricocheting elemental glaive with precision buckshot and has a described damage increase for each status effect on a target. Corinth offers a distinct alternate fire that explodes mid-air and knocks down nearby enemies. The descriptions point to different attack patterns; they do not establish a universal ranking.

Limitations and tradeoffs

• The slug travels before impact, and the explosion has its own area falloff values.
• The 16-round magazine and 2-second reload interrupt sustained fire.
