Understand Sancti Castanas
Useful when…
- Throw and remotely detonate projectiles when you want control over detonation timing.
- Use the mid-flight detonation entry when detonating before embedding, and distinguish it from the embedded detonation entry.
Detonation modes and damage
Both listed modes deal Electricity damage and have a 2× critical multiplier. Mid-Flight Detonation has 24% critical chance and 34% status chance; Embedded Detonation has 24% critical chance and 10% status chance. Each lists 300 Electricity damage and radial falloff from 0 to 3.6 with 40% reduction. The entry describes the weapon as a remotely detonated electrical trap. Do not transfer the mid-flight status figure to the embedded mode.
Handling and setup
It has an Active trigger, two-round magazine, one-second reload, and a listed fire rate of about 3.33. The projectile speed and flight are listed as 60. Its three polarities are two Madurai and one Vazarin, useful when fitting mods compatible with those slots.
When another secondary fits better
Aksomati Prime is described as dual pistols, while Knell depends on headshots to briefly become a rapid-fire, no-ammo weapon. Rakta Ballistica is a crossbow with burst and charged shots.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The magazine holds only two projectiles and the weapon's active, remote-detonation handling is less immediate than ordinary direct-fire pistols.
- The embedded mode has 10% listed status chance, compared with 34% for mid-flight detonation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume both detonation modes have the same status chance.
- Do not treat a two-round trap magazine as a sustained-fire magazine.
