Understand Glaxion
Useful when…
- Sustain fire on a target to make use of its 12 shots per second and 34% status chance per shot.
- Use its all-Cold damage profile when that damage type suits the target or your chosen build.
How it fires
The normal attack is a continuous, held-trigger hit-scan beam. Each hit deals 26 Cold damage; the listed attack has 8% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 34% status chance. Its 80-round magazine and 2.2-second reload support sustained firing, though the magazine still needs regular replenishment.
Build and investment
The 34% status chance makes status-oriented upgrades a natural direction, while the 8% critical chance gives less reason to prioritize critical chance without other build support. This is conditional build advice, not a final damage estimate. The rifle has a 30-rank cap and requires Mastery Rank 8; no special upgrade track is listed.
Alternatives and limits
The Amprex is another beam rifle, but its description emphasizes electricity that arcs between nearby enemies, a distinct use when chaining across groups matters. Boltor and Boltor Prime instead fire bolts, so they do not reproduce Glaxion’s beam handling. The listed Glaxion damage is entirely Cold, and its stats do not specify an innate freeze duration or crowd-control effect; do not infer one from the description.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Low listed critical chance compared with its status chance.
- The damage profile is entirely Cold, with no listed physical or other elemental damage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating its Cold damage or flavor description as proof of a specific freeze duration or guaranteed crowd control.
- Building around critical chance without accounting for its listed 8% base critical chance.
