Understand Heliocor
Useful when…
- Its fatal strikes perform a Codex scan when a Codex Scanner is equipped and has an available charge.
- Its Normal Attack, Slam Attack, and Heavy Slam Attack have separately listed damage profiles.
Codex scanning
A fatal strike performs a Codex scan when a Codex Scanner is equipped and has an available charge.
Normal attack and slam profiles
Heliocor requires Mastery Rank 9. The listed Normal Attack profile has 280 damage: 238 Impact, 28 Puncture, and 14 Slash, with 38% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 12% status chance. Its attack speed is 0.833, and its listed range is 2.5. The Slam Attack is an AoE attack listing 560 Impact damage, with falloff from 0 to 9 and reduction 0.5. The Heavy Slam Attack is a separate AoE attack listing 840 Blast damage, with falloff from 0 to 10 and reduction 0.3.
Related weapons and distinct mechanics
Synoid Heliocor's description says Heavy Attack kills recompose enemies as allies and that any fatal strike performs a Codex scan. Arca Titron's description says successive kills build an electron charge unleashed on slam attacks. Amphis is described as a staff that connects with multiple enemies per strike and enables shock damage on jump attacks.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Codex scanning is described with an equipped Codex Scanner and an available charge condition.
- The Normal Attack and two slam modes have distinct listed damage values and types.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting a scan without an equipped Codex Scanner and an available charge.
- Attributing Synoid Heliocor's Heavy Attack ally-recomposition effect to Heliocor.
