Understand Grattler
Useful when…
- Automatic explosive fire in Archwing combat.
- Using its projectile and explosion components while accounting for projectile travel and explosion falloff.
Projectile impact and explosion
The weapon fires at about 6.25 shots per second. Each listed projectile impact deals 15 Impact, 15 Slash, and 120 Puncture; its separate explosion deals 205 Blast. Both attack entries list 25% critical chance, a 2× multiplier, and 25% status chance. The explosion’s falloff ends at 9 metres, with 70% reduction at that endpoint.
Handling
Grattler is automatic, with a 30-round magazine and 4-second reload. Its accuracy is listed as about 16.7, and its projectile speed is 250. The base polarity is Madurai. Its attack entries describe separate impact and explosion components, not two selectable firing modes.
Related weapons
Grattler requires mastery rank 4, compared with rank 13 for Kuva Ayanga. Kuva Grattler retains the explosive-shell concept and is described as reaching maximum fire rate instantaneously. Larkspur’s weapon description calls its normal attack a wild initial attack that locks on to a target and chains to nearby targets; it also has an explosive projectile mode. These descriptions indicate different attack patterns, not a universal performance ranking.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Accuracy is listed as about 16.7.
- The projectile has travel time.
- Explosion damage falls off to a listed 70% reduction at its 9-metre falloff endpoint.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating impact and explosion as one attack with identical behavior.
- Treating the 9-metre falloff endpoint as a discrete blast radius.
- Assuming Larkspur’s described lock-on behavior establishes reliable precision or a specific target-selection mechanic.
