Understand Nagantaka
Useful when…
- Compare the Semi-Auto and Burst Shot entries by their listed damage and speed values without inferring the speed unit.
- Note the description's conditional headshot effect and Garuda-specific Punch Through.
Attack entries
Semi-Auto lists 1.6 Impact, 143.1 Slash, and 14.3 Puncture damage, with 15% critical chance, 2.3× multiplier, and 39% status chance. Burst Shot lists the same damage and chances; its speed is listed as 5, while Semi-Auto speed is listed as 2.5. Both entries list projectile speed 100.
Description and handling
The description says alt-fire releases a barrage of bolts, all bolts have a chance to cause Slash Status, and headshots have a chance to increase reload speed. It does not explicitly map the Burst Shot entry to alt-fire. When wielded by Garuda, the weapon gains slight Punch Through. The magazine holds nine rounds and the reload is 2.3 seconds.
Comparing weapon descriptions
Nagantaka Prime is a related crossbow whose description also identifies an alt-fire barrage. Basmu is described as using explosive bolts or chaining plasma beams, while Tenora is described as machine-gun fire or a charge shot. These are distinct stated mechanics.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Both listed attack entries have 39% status chance and 15% critical chance.
- The headshot reload effect is described as a chance; its probability and magnitude are unspecified.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Interpreting Burst Shot speed 5 as shots per second or an established relation to Semi-Auto.
- Reading “impact” as Impact damage when describing its Slash-weighted components.
