Understand Sancti Tigris
Useful when…
- Use at close range, where shotgun falloff is less severe.
- Take advantage of the high listed Slash share in its attack damage.
Trigger and damage profile
The normal attack is hitscan, with a Duplex trigger, a listed fire rate of 2, and six pellets. Damage totals 210 per listed attack: 168 Slash, 21 Impact, and 21 Puncture. Critical chance is 15%, critical multiplier 1.5×, and status chance 14%. The weapon's magazine holds two rounds, so its trigger behavior and reload rhythm matter more than a large-capacity shotgun's sustained fire pattern. The input does not further explain the precise duplex trigger interaction.
Range and investment
Damage falloff starts at 8 meters and reaches a listed 57.14% reduction at 20 meters. Its 1.5-second reload follows the two-round magazine. Mastery Rank 12 is required, and three starting polarities—Vazarin, Naramon, and Madurai—can inform compatible mod selection. Given its short range and small magazine, prioritize a build that supports close-range use and your chosen firing rhythm.
Other shotgun behaviors
Arca Plasmor is described as a plasma shotgun that staggers targets, while Astilla fires glass slugs. Coda Bassocyst has a special alternate fire that swarms non-Mercy-vulnerable targets or performs a ranged execution against vulnerable ones. These are distinct attack concepts; use those descriptions to identify a different desired mechanic rather than treating them as equivalent to Sancti Tigris's duplex-trigger pattern.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Two rounds per magazine limit sustained fire.
- Damage falls off beginning at 8 meters, reaching a substantial reduction at 20 meters.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the two-round magazine to support continuous shotgun fire.
- Using it beyond close range without accounting for falloff beginning at 8 meters.
