Understand Vadarya Prime
Useful when…
- Consider its listed charged attack properties when evaluating its sniper profile.
- Treat the described chain lightning as chance-based, separate from the listed status chance.
Attack properties
The Normal Attack is hitscan and lists 400 Electric damage, 40% critical chance, 2.8× critical multiplier, and 18% status chance. It has a listed charge time of 0.8 seconds, charge trigger, 16-round magazine, and 2.6-second reload.
Chain effect and mod slots
The description says struck enemies become lightning rods, with a chance to attract chain lightning that can jump to nearby enemies. The chance value and jump range are not supplied. This described chance is distinct from the listed 18% status chance. Madurai and Naramon polarities are listed for compatible mods.
Other sniper descriptions
Rubico is described as a long-range revolver-style rifle and has listed 30% critical chance and 3× multiplier. Komorex is described as a bi-modal sniper with zoom-dependent properties. Coda Sporothrix is described as firing a virus-laden barb that continues damaging its target before exploding. These descriptions do not establish a direct damage ranking against Vadarya Prime.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The attack has a listed 0.8-second charge time.
- The described chain lightning is chance-based; its numeric chance and jump range are unspecified.
- The magazine holds 16 rounds and reload takes 2.6 seconds.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Equating chain-lightning chance with the listed status chance.
- Assuming a chain chance value or jump range that is not supplied.
- Interpreting listed fire rate 2.8 as shots per second or as a specified relationship to charge time.
