Understand Scyotid
Useful when…
- Use the Auto mode for its four-projectile toxin and Puncture attack.
- Use the Semi mode when you want the described cluster snare and its toxin AoE attack.
Separate attack modes
Auto is a projectile attack listed at 2.4 speed, with 24% critical chance, 2.4× critical multiplier, and 18% status chance. Its listed damage is 8 Puncture and 32 Toxin. Semi is a separate AoE attack listed at 1.6 speed, with 8% critical chance, the same 2.4× multiplier, and 32% status chance; it lists 40 Toxin damage. The description says the cluster snare scatters on impact, seizes nearby enemies, and drags them together. The figures do not specify range or duration for that effect.
Handling and investment
The weapon has a 40-round magazine, listed multishot of four, and 1.6-second reload. It has a Naramon polarity. The provided crafting details list a 15,000 build price, 12-hour build time, two barrels, two gauntlets, a blueprint, and one Orokin Cell. These figures describe the listed recipe and do not establish current availability. Consider which attack mode you expect to use: the Auto entry has higher listed critical chance, while Semi has higher listed status chance and the snare description.
Other throwing weapons
Cantare's description emphasizes blades that return on reload and increase allies' Reload Speed when returning blades strike enemies. Fusilai is described as Gara's glass throwing knives, with increased projectile speed in Gara's hands. Castanas are remotely triggered electrical projectiles. These have different stated effects, so compare them by whether you want Scyotid's described snare, Cantare's reload-related ally benefit, or remote electrical detonation rather than assuming they share the same role.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Semi has lower listed critical chance than Auto, although its status chance is higher.
- The snare's range, duration, and other numerical behavior are not specified in the provided properties.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not apply Auto's critical chance or status chance to the Semi attack.
- Do not assume a numerical snare range or duration from the descriptive effect.
