Understand Prisma Burst Laser
Useful when…
- Consider it when a burst projectile attack fits your companion weapon choice.
- Compare its attack entry with other companion weapon descriptions and listed characteristics.
Attack and damage
The Normal Attack is a projectile and lists 18.7 Puncture, 2.2 Impact, and 1.1 Slash damage. It lists 18% critical chance, a 2.1× critical multiplier, and 10% status chance. The separate weapon-wide critical multiplier field is 2.15×; these are distinct listed values.
Burst properties
The detailed properties list a burst trigger, 15-round magazine, fire rate about 2.14, reload time about 0.01 seconds, and accuracy 100. The accuracy scale or units are unspecified. The attack entry lists projectile speed 40 and flight 40; the units are unspecified, so these values do not establish a measured distance-per-time speed.
Other companion weapon descriptions
Burst Laser is also described as firing small bursts of lasers. Burst Laser Prime fires laser bursts and lists 20% critical chance with a 2.3× multiplier. Cryotra fires icy grenade volleys that chill the blast zone, a different attack style from Prisma Burst Laser's projectile attack. These details support comparing their characteristics without establishing a universal replacement choice.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its attack damage is weighted toward Puncture and its attack entry identifies projectile fire.
- The Normal Attack lists a 2.1× critical multiplier, while the separate weapon-wide field lists 2.15×.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assign the separate 2.15× weapon-wide critical multiplier to the Normal Attack entry, which lists 2.1×.
- Do not treat projectile speed 40 as hitscan or as a measured speed with known units.
- Do not interpret accuracy 100 as a percentage or a known scale.
