Understand Kuva Sobek
Useful when…
- Consider its automatic normal attack and listed damage profile when selecting a shotgun.
Normal attack properties
The normal attack is automatic, with listed speed 2.5. It deals 57.75 Impact, 9.63 Slash, and 9.63 Puncture; the weapon lists multishot 5. Critical chance is 21%, critical multiplier 2.3×, and status chance 21%. The attack lists falloff parameters starting at 25 and ending at 40, with reduction 0.4805; units and precise interpretation are not supplied. The magazine holds 20 and reload takes 2.1 seconds. Its description calls out reload speed, critical chance, and status chance as notable qualities but gives no numeric comparison baseline.
Damage profile
The listed normal attack has much more Impact damage than Slash or Puncture. Its listed falloff parameters are 25–40 with reduction 0.4805, without units or further interpretation.
Shotgun comparisons
Kuva Drakgoon is described as a flak cannon that can fire wide or concentrated bursts, with larger magazine capacity and reload speed. Tenet Arca Plasmor's blasts ricochet and have greater range, with slower fire and reload. Cedo has a glaive alternate fire and gains damage for each status effect affecting a target. These descriptions identify different mechanics and features.
Requirements
Kuva Sobek has a Mastery requirement of 15, a listed accuracy value of 9.09, and a 20-round magazine. The accuracy value is given without an interpretation in the data.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed damage profile is strongly Impact-weighted.
- Falloff parameters are given as 25–40 with reduction 0.4805, but no units or precise interpretation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating multishot 5 as a stated count of pellets per volley.
- Treating falloff values 25–40 as distances or reduction 0.4805 as a specified effect throughout that interval.
- Inferring a range judgment from accuracy 9.09.
