Understand Kuva Ayanga
Useful when…
- Projectile and explosion attacks in Arch-Gun combat.
- Considering its listed critical values and handling characteristics for a particular build.
Grenade impact and explosion
The grenade-impact entry deals 87 Impact; the separate explosion entry deals 187 Blast. Both listed attack components have 35% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 20% status chance. The explosion’s falloff ends at 9 metres, with 30% reduction at that endpoint. The projectile speed is 300 and the firing rate is about 4.58 shots per second; impact and explosion are components, not separate firing modes.
Handling and fitting
The automatic launcher holds 33 rounds and lists a 1.2-second reload, accuracy of 25, and mastery requirement of 13. It has one base Naramon polarity. Its projectile speed and accuracy are listed handling facts; its attack components retain their separate damage entries.
Other attack patterns
Morgha’s description says its double-barreled primary slugs siphon life essence used to generate a secondary air-burst mortar. Grattler has automatic explosive shells and requires mastery rank 4, compared with Kuva Ayanga’s 13. Larkspur’s description describes a wild initial attack that locks on and chains to nearby targets, plus an explosive projectile mode. These descriptions distinguish their attack patterns without establishing a universal ranking.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The 33-round magazine and 1.2-second reload are listed handling characteristics.
- The explosion has falloff ending at 9 metres.
- Mastery requirement is 13.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating impact and explosion as selectable firing modes.
- Calling the 9-metre falloff end distance a blast radius.
- Assuming full damage throughout the falloff distance.
