Understand Tenet Glaxion
Useful when…
- Hold fire for sustained cold hitscan damage.
- Consider it when its stated ability to hit up to four enemies at once fits clustered engagements.
Attack profile
The Normal Attack deals 34 Cold damage per listed hit and is hitscan. It fires at 12 per second, with 20% critical chance, a 2.2x critical multiplier, and 40% status chance. The magazine holds 90 rounds and reload takes 2 seconds.
When to consider it
The description highlights a photon beam that strikes up to four enemies at once, making its stated multi-target property a reason to consider it when enemies are grouped. Its damage listing is entirely Cold; adding other damage types would depend on the build rather than the weapon's listed base attack.
Comparisons and tradeoffs
Ax-52 offers an aiming headshot condition and improved ammo efficiency when hip-firing, while Coda Synapse is described as a corrosive beam with increased beam length, punch-through, and status chance. These are different stated properties, not proof of overall superiority. Glaxion's 40% status chance makes status-oriented investment plausible, while its critical chance is 20%.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed base damage is only Cold.
- The weapon uses a held trigger, so sustained fire consumes magazine ammunition.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not interpret the four-enemy description as a guarantee of a particular chaining range or target selection.
- Do not conflate the Coda Synapse's listed beam length and punch-through features with the Glaxion.
