Understand Kompressa
Useful when…
- Firing a projectile attack with a separate explosive component.
- Considering status-focused use based on the listed 30% status chance for each attack entry.
Projectile and explosion
The Normal Attack is a projectile with listed speed 40 and 2 Viral damage. The separate Explosion entry lists 42 Viral damage, with falloff ending at 2.4 meters and 20% reduction. Both entries list 6% critical chance, a 1.8× critical multiplier, and 30% status chance.
Handling
Kompressa fires automatically, with listed fire rate 3.33, magazine size 12, reload time 1.8 seconds, and accuracy 3.77. The projectile attack distinguishes it from a hitscan shot. Its listed critical chance is 6%, compared with a 30% status chance on each attack entry.
Requirements and comparison
Kompressa requires Mastery Rank 8 and has a rank cap of 30. Kompressa Prime requires Rank 13 and lists 16% critical chance and 36% status chance; its separate Explosion entry lists 46 Viral damage, with falloff ending at 2.8 meters. Zymos has a described headshot-triggered spore behavior, a different mechanic from Kompressa's globule attacks.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The separate Explosion entry lists falloff ending at 2.4 meters.
- Critical chance is listed at 6%; status chance is 30% on each attack entry.
- The attack is a projectile, and accuracy is listed as 3.77.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Combining the projectile and explosion entries as a single damage figure.
- Assuming the listed status chance applies independently to each globule.
