Phage GUIDE
Understand Phage
Useful when…
- Use its held trigger for continuous beam fire.
- Consider its 90-round magazine and two-second reload when evaluating its firing rhythm.
What are its attack properties?
The normal attack is hitscan, listed at speed 12, with multishot 7. It deals 5 viral damage and lists 19% critical chance, a 2× multiplier, and 15.5% status chance. The supplied values do not specify how status chance applies across the seven multishot beams.
What handling properties are listed?
Phage has a held trigger, 90-round magazine, two-second reload, and 50% listed accuracy. It is a primary shotgun with a Mastery requirement of 11 and one Naramon polarity.
How do other shotguns behave?
Steflos fires an energy projectile that grows as it travels and lasts longer after hitting an enemy. Felarx has a Void pistol form. Hek is described as a tight-spread shotgun suited to medium range when its recoil is managed. These descriptions identify different handling features from Phage's continuous beams.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its held-fire attack is a continuous hitscan beam with multishot 7.
- The weapon lists 50% accuracy and a two-second reload.
- The listed viral damage and status chance do not specify per-beam status behavior.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Inferring status-event frequency from multishot 7.
- Assuming the beams chain between enemies.
