Cantare

Automatic thrown-blade secondary whose returning blades can grant allies reload speed.

Released Jun 18, 2024

Cantare is a thrown secondary for players who want to combine projectile attacks with a reload-triggered return mechanic. Its blades lodge in the battlefield and return when reloading; if returning blades hit enemies, Cantare empowers allies with increased Reload Speed. This makes the return path part of the weapon’s practical support value, rather than treating a reload only as downtime.

Cantare GUIDE

Understand Cantare

Useful when…

  • Hitting enemies with blades as they return during reload to grant the described ally reload-speed benefit.
  • Using an automatic thrown secondary with a six-blade magazine.

How the return effect works

Cantare’s description says blades lodge into the battlefield and return upon reload. The reload-speed benefit applies when those returning blades strike enemies, empowering allies. Therefore, the support effect depends on enemies being in the returning blades’ path; simply reloading is not enough according to the stated condition. The amount and duration of the reload-speed increase are not specified.

Attack handling and investment

The Normal Attack is an automatic projectile with 18% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 22% status chance. It deals 63 Slash and 27 Puncture damage. Cantare holds six rounds and reloads in 1.2 seconds; it requires Mastery Rank 10 and has two Madurai polarities. Its listed projectile speed is 70. These details support considering projectile travel and reload timing when trying to line up the return strike.

Related thrown weapons

Fusilai is described as Gara’s silent throwing knives, with increased projectile speed when Gara wields it. Scyotid is described as offering a volley of toxin-laced barbs or a cluster snare. Despair is another throwing-blade option. These descriptions indicate different weapon behaviors; Cantare’s distinctive stated support condition is the returning-blade hit during reload. The description also names Evensong and Harmony as part of Jade’s Ensemble, but the supplied input does not specify any individual set effect to explain.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The reload-speed support effect requires returning blades to hit enemies.
  • Projectile travel and return positioning can affect whether the support condition is met.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not assume every reload grants the reload-speed benefit; returning blades must strike enemies.
  • Do not assume the named Ensemble implies a particular set bonus without a stated effect.
