Understand Lato Prime
Useful when…
- Evaluate the normal attack using its listed semi-automatic handling and 20-round magazine.
- Compare Incarnon Form as a separate listed attack profile; its statistics differ from the normal attack.
Normal and Incarnon attack profiles
The normal attack is hitscan at listed speed 5 and deals 60 physical damage: 6 Impact, 12 Puncture, and 42 Slash. It has 30% critical chance, a 2.6× critical multiplier, and 20% status chance. Incarnon Form is separately listed as hitscan at speed 4, dealing 78 physical damage: 19.5 Impact, 19.5 Puncture, and 39 Slash. It has 36% critical chance, a 3.2× critical multiplier, and 15% status chance. No activation method is specified.
Handling, rank, and polarities
Lato Prime is semi-automatic, with listed accuracy of 18.18, a 20-round magazine, and a 1-second reload. It has one Madurai and one Naramon polarity, a rank cap of 30, and a Mastery Rank 14 requirement. These details do not specify mod effects or final damage.
Comparison with other pistols
The base Lato is described as a highly accurate pistol; its comparison entry does not provide magazine or reload values. Lato Vandal is described as having higher accuracy and damage than the standard Lato, with a slower fire rate. Bronco Prime is a shotgun sidearm described as trading increased magazine capacity and damage for a lower rate of fire. These descriptions do not establish a direct performance ranking against Lato Prime.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Incarnon Form lists lower status chance than the normal attack despite higher critical values.
- Mastery Rank 14 is required; the base Lato’s listed requirement is 0.
- The listed Prime, Vaulted, and Founder tags do not establish current acquisition terms.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Applying Incarnon Form’s values to the normal attack or assuming an activation condition not specified here.
- Inferring the base Lato’s magazine or reload values from its comparison entry.
- Treating snapshot tags as current acquisition instructions.
