Understand Lato
Useful when…
- Use the normal attack for hitscan shots at a listed speed of 4.5 and accuracy 18.18.
- Consider its separate Incarnon Form when its higher listed per-shot physical damage and critical values fit your needs.
What does each attack do?
The normal attack is hitscan, with a listed speed of 4.5, 40 total physical damage split among Impact (10), Puncture (10), and Slash (20), 10% critical chance, a 1.8× critical multiplier, and 6% status chance. The Incarnon Form is separately listed as hitscan at speed 3.5, with 64 physical damage (Impact 16, Puncture 16, Slash 32), 16% critical chance, a 2.6× critical multiplier, and 6% status chance.
How does it handle?
Lato fires semi-automatically, has accuracy 18.18, a 15-round magazine, and a 1-second reload. Its normal attack is hitscan, so the listed profile does not require leading a projectile in flight. The normal damage split is balanced across Impact, Puncture, and Slash, while its 6% status chance is modest in the listed properties.
What is a sensible investment decision?
Lato requires no Mastery Rank, has a rank cap of 30, and lists no starting polarity. It offers an accessible way to use a semi-automatic hitscan sidearm, though its base normal attack has 40 listed total damage and 10% critical chance. If you want a later Lato variant, the supplied comparisons show Lato Prime with higher listed critical values and damage, and Lato Vandal described as trading slower fire rate for higher accuracy and damage; those are distinct equipment choices, not upgrades automatically applied to Lato.
When is another sidearm a better fit?
Lato Prime and Lato Vandal preserve a single-pistol format, but have higher Mastery requirements (14 and 7 respectively). Akstiletto Prime is a dual-pistol weapon, so it is a different handling choice rather than a direct Lato variant. The comparison descriptions alone do not establish that any candidate is universally preferable.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The normal attack has a 6% status chance and 10% critical chance.
- Incarnon Form has a separate profile; activation and charging conditions are not given.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not combine the normal and Incarnon damage figures into one shot profile.
- Do not mistake the 6% status chance for 6% on top of the stated damage; it is a separate attack property.
- Do not assume a Prime or Vandal comparison entry means the variant is automatically available or a direct upgrade path.
