Coda Caustacyst

How its attacks differ

Normal attacks deal 20 Impact, 75 Puncture, 70 Slash, and 120 Corrosive damage, with 19% critical chance, 2.3× critical multiplier, and 41% status chance. The charged Corrosive Wave is a projectile with a one-second charge time; it deals 225 Corrosive damage with 9% critical chance and 41% status chance. The separate Corrosive Pool attack lists 145 Corrosive damage, zero critical chance, and 100% status chance. Slam attacks have their own profiles: a regular slam deals 570 Impact in an area, while a heavy slam deals 855 Blast. These mode values should not be conflated.

Handling and build considerations

The weapon has 2.9 m listed range, 0.6 follow-through, a five-second combo duration, and one Madurai polarity. Its normal attack rate is listed as 1. The notable listed critical profile is 19% chance with a 2.3× multiplier, while normal attacks and the wave both have 41% status chance. Those numbers support considering both critical and status investment, but the best balance depends on the build; the provided figures do not establish a final damage result or a required mod setup.

When another Coda melee fits better

Coda Mire is a sword with listed 18% critical chance and 2.4× critical multiplier; its description highlights improved critical and status properties. Coda Hirudo is sparring equipment with 34% critical chance and 3.1× multiplier. Coda Pathocyst is a glaive whose description notes occasional enemy-seeking miasmites while in flight or on contact. These are different weapon types and mechanics; consider them when you specifically prefer sword, sparring, or thrown-glaive handling over Caustacyst’s charged wave and corrosive pool.

Limitations and tradeoffs

• The charged wave requires a one-second charge.
• The wave’s listed critical chance is 9%, lower than the normal attack’s 19%.
• Its 2.9 m range and 0.6 follow-through describe a melee scythe profile; the projectile is a separate attack mode.
