Understand Tenet Cycron
Useful when…
- Use when you want the listed hit-scan Heat attack.
- Consider its described nearby-target split when that behavior suits your combat needs.
Normal attack
The normal attack is hit-scan and deals 22 Heat damage per hit, with listed fire rate 12 and 100 accuracy. It has a 40-round magazine and 1.5-second reload. The attack lists 20% critical chance, a 1.8× critical multiplier and 40% status chance.
Mastery and mod fit
Tenet Cycron requires Mastery Rank 14 and has a rank cap of 40, with two Naramon polarities listed. Its normal attack lists 40% status chance and 20% critical chance; mod choices can reflect which of those stats you prefer to emphasize.
Other beam and alternate-fire behavior
Ocucor is described as spawning a tendril toward a nearby target with each takedown. Sepulcrum's primary fire fuels a lock-on secondary fire. The regular Cycron is described as using a regenerating energy disc. These descriptions identify different behaviors from Tenet Cycron's nearby-target split.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed magazine capacity is 40 rounds, and the listed reload is 1.5 seconds.
- The description specifies up to two additional nearby targets for the split disc; it does not describe further chaining.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the split disc can chain beyond the two additional nearby targets described.
- Treating 40% status chance as a guaranteed status effect on every hit.
