Understand Euphona Prime
Useful when…
- Use the slug for a focused projectile shot with 30% critical chance and a 2.5× critical multiplier.
- Use buckshot at close range, accounting for its low critical chance and listed falloff.
- Factor its five-round magazine, two-second reload, and three Madurai polarities into your weapon setup.
Slug and buckshot profiles
The slug is a projectile with 30% critical chance, a 2.5× critical multiplier, and 2% status chance. Its listed damage is 292.5 Impact, 16.25 Puncture, and 16.25 Slash. Buckshot is hitscan, with 2% critical chance, a 2× multiplier, and 9% status chance. Its listed damage components total 88: 66 Slash, 17.6 Puncture, and 4.4 Impact. Buckshot falloff starts at 6 m; the listed reduction is 98.86% at the 12 m endpoint. Spread behavior is not specified.
Handling and signature
Euphona Prime fires semi-automatically at a listed 1.5 attack speed, with a five-round magazine and a two-second reload. Its slug is a projectile and buckshot is hitscan. The description identifies it as Banshee Prime’s signature shotgun sidearm but does not specify an additional signature effect.
Related burst pistols
Kraken fires two quick shots with one trigger pull; Kuva Kraken fires three and can alt-fire the rest of its magazine in a burst. Sicarus Prime fires rapid bursts. These descriptions establish different firing patterns, not a universal damage advantage over Euphona Prime.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Buckshot’s critical chance is much lower than the slug’s, and its listed damage reduction is severe at the 12 m falloff endpoint.
- The five-round magazine and two-second reload are relevant handling constraints.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not apply the slug’s critical stats to buckshot.
- Do not describe buckshot as spread-style; its supplied attack type is hitscan and spread behavior is unspecified.
- Do not treat the 98.86% falloff reduction as occurring throughout the 6–12 m interval; it is listed at the 12 m endpoint.
