Understand Boar
Useful when…
- Use Normal Attack at close range, where the spread and damage falloff are less limiting.
- Consider the separate Incarnon Form when that form is available and you want its listed heat attack.
Normal Attack and Incarnon Form
Normal Attack is hitscan with eight multishot, 12.1 Impact, 3.3 Puncture, and 6.6 Slash damage listed per attack. Its critical chance is 10%, multiplier 1.5×, and status chance 7.5%. Damage falls off from 15 to 25 m, with 50% reduction at the end. Incarnon Form is a separate hitscan entry: 20 Heat damage, 7.5 attack speed, 18% critical chance, 1.8× multiplier, and 20% status chance. Do not combine these mode statistics.
Handling and practical investment
Normal fire runs at about 4.17 shots per second from a 20-round magazine, with a 2.7-second reload. The listed accuracy is 5, matching the description's warning about low accuracy and recoil. Boar requires Mastery Rank 2. Close positioning helps keep its spread and 15–25 m falloff from undermining the intended use.
Alternatives
Hek is described as having a tight spread and being efficient at medium range if its recoil is managed. Corinth offers a heavy blast and an explosive alternate round that knocks down nearby enemies. Arca Plasmor is described as a plasma shotgun whose blasts stagger targets. Those descriptions indicate different ranges or attack behaviors; they do not make these weapons automatic upgrades over Boar.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Low accuracy and recoil make distant or sustained fire harder to control.
- Normal Attack has substantial falloff from 15 to 25 m.
- Normal fire has a 2.7-second reload.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using normal fire at range despite its low accuracy and falloff.
- Mixing Incarnon Form stats into Normal Attack expectations.
- Treating multishot as the listed critical or status chance.
