Understand Ceti Lacera
Useful when…
- Use normal attacks for mixed Impact, Puncture, Slash, and Electricity damage with a 40% listed status chance.
- Use regular or heavy slams when you want area Electricity damage, accounting for their separate damage and falloff profiles.
- Consider its Naramon polarity when planning compatible mods.
What do its attacks do?
Normal attacks list 216 damage: 100 Electricity, 66 Slash, 38 Puncture, and 12 Impact. They have 20% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, 40% status chance, and a listed speed of about 1.08. A regular slam deals 432 Electricity in an area, with falloff beginning at 0 m and reaching 50% reduction at 8 m. A heavy slam deals 648 Electricity in an area, with falloff beginning at 0 m and reaching 30% reduction at 9 m. These slam damage and status values are separate from the normal-attack profile; each slam lists 45% status chance.
Handling and mod planning
The listed melee range is 2.5 m, follow-through is 0.5, and blocking angle is 60°. Heavy attacks have a 0.4-second wind-up, and the combo duration is 5 seconds. The weapon has one Naramon polarity, which can inform mod-slot planning when a selected mod matches it. These handling figures describe the weapon; they do not determine a modded build’s final damage.
How does it compare with other melee types?
Coda Motovore is a hammer with a described wheel buff that matches the physical damage type it has been modded for. Dark Dagger is a short-range dagger, and Dragon Nikana is a mastery-rank-8 nikana. These are different weapon types and the supplied descriptions do not establish them as direct upgrades or replacements for Ceti Lacera.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Requires mastery rank 12.
- Normal attacks list 20% critical chance and 40% status chance; the slam modes have their own damage and status values.
- Listed melee range is 2.5 m.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the Electricity-only slam damage as the normal attack's damage split.
- Applying normal-attack status chance or damage values to a slam mode; each listed attack mode has its own profile.
- Assuming a different weapon type described alongside it is a direct upgrade.
