Understand Rakta Cernos
Useful when…
- Use charged shots for higher listed damage per arrow.
- Use uncharged shots when you want to fire without the 0.3-second charge.
Charged and uncharged attacks
Both attacks have 35% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 15% status chance. An uncharged arrow deals 211.5 Impact, 11.75 Slash, and 11.75 Puncture. The charged arrow takes 0.3 seconds and deals 423 Impact, 23.5 Slash, and 23.5 Puncture. The bow has a one-arrow magazine and a 0.6-second reload. Its uncharged projectile speed is 70, compared with 100 for the charged projectile.
Handling and investment
Rakta Cernos requires Mastery Rank 12 and has two Madurai and one Naramon polarity. Its listed status chance is 15%, compared with 35% critical chance. The supplied record lists no special ability or upgrade track.
Other bow profiles
The standard Cernos requires Mastery Rank 6, and its description characterizes it as a high-Impact bow. Cinta's description highlights quick successive arrows, a shock wave, and a fully charged shot, giving it a different described firing profile.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The one-arrow magazine requires reloading between shots.
- Charging increases listed damage but takes 0.3 seconds.
- Both attacks are projectiles, with different listed speeds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating charged and uncharged arrows as having the same listed damage.
- Ignoring projectile travel when aiming.
