Understand Fang
Useful when…
- Use for close-range dual-dagger attacks when its listed range is suitable.
- Note its Vazarin polarity when considering the weapon's listed configuration.
What do its attack modes do?
Normal attacks deal 108 total damage: 75.6 Puncture, 16.2 Impact, and 16.2 Slash. They have 8% critical chance, a 1.5× critical multiplier, and 16% status chance. The regular Slam Attack deals 216 Impact in an area, with 50% falloff from 0 to 6 metres. Heavy Slam deals 324 Blast in an area, with 30% falloff from 0 to 7 metres. Both slam modes list 10% status chance. The direct Heavy Attack is separately listed at 216 damage.
What do its handling and requirement indicate?
Fang has a listed range of 1.65 and attack speed of 0.917. Its Mastery requirement is 0, and its listed polarity is Vazarin. These details describe its requirement and listed handling; they do not specify when or how it is acquired.
How do the listed alternatives differ?
Caustacyst is a scythe with 9% critical chance and a 2× multiplier; its description says heavy attacks unleash an acid wave and leave corrosive sludge. Dual Kamas Prime is a dual-sword weapon with 20% critical chance and a 2× multiplier. Furax Wraith is a fist weapon with 30% critical chance and a 2.7× multiplier. These are different weapon types, so their listed descriptions do not establish that they handle like Fang.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed melee range is 1.65.
- Normal attacks list 8% critical chance and 16% status chance.
- Slam attacks list damage falloff by distance.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not apply the normal attack's 16% status chance to slam modes; they list 10%.
- Do not infer acquisition timing from Fang's Mastery Rank 0 requirement.
