Cernos Prime

What are the normal bow modes?

Cernos Prime lists three multishot. Its uncharged horizontal/vertical shot travels at 70 m/s and deals 82.8 Impact, 4.6 Slash, and 4.6 Puncture, with 35% critical chance, a 2× multiplier, and 30% status chance. The charged horizontal/vertical shot takes 0.5 seconds, travels at 95 m/s, and deals 165.6 Impact, 9.2 Slash, and 9.2 Puncture with the same critical and status values. The bow has one arrow loaded and a 0.65-second reload.

How does its handling compare?

The regular Cernos is described as high Impact and suited to hunting highly shielded enemies; its detailed record lists 36% critical chance, a 0.5-second charge, and single multishot. Cernos Prime instead lists three multishot and 30% status chance, with slightly lower critical chance at 35%. Daikyu's description emphasizes added power and range from its demanding draw, while Cinta offers quick shots, a shock wave, or a fully charged focused shot. Consider these when the Cernos Prime projectile pattern or charge handling is not the desired fit.

What should I prioritize?

Its two Madurai polarities are useful for planning compatible mod placement. The supplied details do not name upgrade tracks or specific mods, so a precise build or final damage figure is not supported. Keep the charged and uncharged shot profiles separate when evaluating any investment, since the charged mode takes time but lists twice the damage per shot profile.

Limitations and tradeoffs

• The charged attack takes 0.5 seconds, while the uncharged shot has lower listed damage.
• The three-multishot profile has lower listed per-shot damage values than the base Cernos; the attack patterns and records should be compared on their own terms.
