Understand Hespar
Useful when…
- Combat using its normal and heavy attack profiles.
- Using regular or heavy slams, which have separate area damage entries.
Attack profile and handling
Hespar requires Mastery Rank 12. Its normal attack deals 280 listed damage split among 134.4 Slash, 112 Impact, and 33.6 Puncture, with 24% critical chance, a 2.2× critical multiplier, and 28% status chance. Listed attack speed is 1 and range is 2.8 m. Heavy attack damage is listed as 5,040, with a 1-second wind-up; these values do not specify an animation or use pattern.
Slam attacks
A regular slam lists 560 Impact area damage, with 50% falloff by 8 m. A heavy slam lists 840 Blast, with 30% falloff by 9 m. These are distinct from the listed heavy-attack value and normal physical damage.
Other weapon mechanics
Caustacyst is a scythe whose description names a Heavy Attack acid wave and corrosive sludge. Tenet Grigori is a scythe whose Heavy Slide Attack launches a spinning energy disk. Quassus is a warfan, and its description names scattered ethereal daggers; it is a different weapon type.
Distinct attack entries
The 5,040 heavy-attack value is separate from normal attacks and both slam entries. The supplied values identify damage and wind-up, but do not establish a particular heavy-attack animation or recommended use pattern.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The weapon requires Mastery Rank 12 and has one listed Madurai polarity.
- Its heavy-attack value is listed separately from normal and slam damage, with a 1-second wind-up.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the listed heavy-attack damage as a slam or normal-hit value.
- Inferring a heavy-attack animation or use pattern from damage and wind-up alone.
