Understand Galariak Prime
Useful when…
- Attacking targets affected by multiple Status Types.
- Using its high-puncture normal attack, which has a 32% status chance.
- Using separate slam attacks against nearby enemies.
Status-based critical chance
The weapon gains a percentage of critical chance for each Status Type affecting its target. The amount per type is not specified. Normal attacks list 234 total damage, mostly puncture, with 19% critical chance, a 2.5× multiplier, and 32% status chance.
Attack modes
Normal attacks deal 234 listed total damage and have 32% status chance. Regular slams deal 702 Impact damage in an area, with 50% falloff at the 8-unit endpoint. Heavy slams deal 1,170 Blast damage, with 30% falloff at the 9-unit endpoint. Each slam lists 10% status chance.
Handling and build details
The weapon has two Madurai polarities, a one-second heavy-attack wind-up, and a five-second combo duration. Applying multiple Status Types can support its stated trait, but the amount of its critical-chance gain per type is unspecified.
Comparisons
Coda Caustacyst is another scythe, described as having improved damage, status chance, and critical damage; Galariak Prime has the higher listed critical multiplier, 2.5× versus 2.3×. Coda Hirudo is a sparring weapon and Coda Mire is a sword, so they represent different melee types.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The per-Status-Type critical bonus is unspecified.
- The signature trait depends on Status Types affecting the target.
- Slam attacks have lower listed status chance than normal attacks.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming a fixed critical-chance increase per Status Type.
- Applying the normal attack's 32% status chance to the slam attacks.
- Expecting its trait to add critical chance when the target has no Status Types.
