Understand Braton
Useful when…
- Use Normal Attack for straightforward hitscan automatic fire.
- Consider the separate Incarnon attacks only when evaluating that form's distinct direct and area damage.
Normal and Incarnon attack profiles
Normal Attack is hitscan at 8.75 shots per second, dealing 7.92 Impact, 7.92 Puncture, and 8.16 Slash damage. It has 12% critical chance, 1.6× multiplier, and 6% status chance. Incarnon Form is separately listed as hitscan, dealing 20 Impact, 28 Slash, and 2 Puncture damage, with 30% critical chance and 3× multiplier. Its Incarnon Form AoE is another separate attack: 50 Heat damage with 3 m falloff and 10% damage reduction at the end.
Handling and fitting
Normal fire has a 45-round magazine and a 2-second reload, with 28.57 listed accuracy. Braton requires no Mastery Rank and has no listed polarity in the supplied properties. Its straightforward hitscan attack avoids projectile travel, but its 6% normal status chance and 12% critical chance are modest starting values for those investment directions.
Alternatives by use
Braton Vandal is described as a special version with slower fire but higher accuracy and damage. Gorgon instead has a large magazine and reaches high fire rate after a short wind-up. Afentis is a speargun with a throw that pins or stuns, and can provide a nearby ally buff when thrown onto the ground.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Normal fire has modest critical and status chances.
- No polarity is listed in the supplied properties.
- Incarnon attacks have distinct damage and area behavior from normal fire.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Applying Incarnon attack values to Normal Attack.
- Treating the Incarnon area heat attack as part of its direct hit.
- Assuming the Vandal, Gorgon, or Afentis uses Braton's hitscan attack behavior.
