Understand Gorgon
Useful when…
- Use the fully spooled normal attack for sustained automatic fire from its 90-round magazine.
- Use the Incarnon projectile or its separate heat AoE when that form is available and fits the encounter.
Normal attack and handling
The normal attack is listed as Fully Spooled: a hit-scan automatic shot at 12.5 rounds per second, dealing 18.75 Impact, 3.75 Puncture, and 2.5 Slash damage. It has 17% critical chance, a 1.5× critical multiplier, and 9% status chance. The description notes a short wind-up before high fire rate; the 90-round magazine supports sustained firing, but listed accuracy is 12.5 and reload time is 4.2 seconds.
Incarnon attacks are distinct
The Incarnon Form is listed as a projectile attack at 0.833 shots per second, with 120 shot speed and 120 flight, dealing 20 Impact, 20 Slash, and 60 Puncture. Its separate Incarnon Form AoE attack deals 750 Heat damage, with a listed falloff profile from 0 to 5 and 10% reduction. These are distinct from the normal attack; do not combine their damage figures or assume how the form is activated, since activation details are not provided here.
Investment and comparisons
The normal attack’s 17% critical chance and 9% status chance support considering critical-oriented upgrades, though investment depends on your build. The Gorgon requires Mastery Rank 3 and has a 30-rank cap. Quellor is another rifle described as having a hefty magazine and a short-range cryo-blast, while Tenet Tetra has a grenade-launcher alternate fire that spends the whole clip. Those alternatives offer different handling and attack behavior; their descriptions do not establish them as direct replacements.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The standard attack needs a brief spool-up to reach high fire rate.
- Low listed accuracy and a 4.2-second reload can make sustained fire harder to manage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating Incarnon projectile and AoE figures as part of the normal attack’s damage.
- Ignoring the normal attack’s wind-up and low listed accuracy when expecting immediate precise fire.
