Understand Zylok Prime
Useful when…
- Measured normal fire with a twelve-round magazine.
- A separate charged Incarnon attack with hit-scan and radial components.
Normal attack
The normal hit-scan attack lists 210 damage per shot: 63 Impact, 21 Puncture, and 126 Slash. It has 12% critical chance, a 2.4× multiplier, and 36% status chance. Its listed speed is 1.8, with a duplex trigger and 12-round magazine.
Incarnon Form attacks
The separate Incarnon Form has a listed 0.6-second charge time, speed 1, 26% critical chance, and 40% status chance. Its hit-scan attack lists 200 Impact and 300 Puncture damage. Its separate radial attack lists 700 Heat damage, with falloff ending at 6 meters and 60% reduction. These mode-specific values are not additions to the normal attack; activation and charge conditions are not specified.
Mastery and comparisons
Zylok Prime requires Mastery Rank 13 and lists Naramon and Madurai polarities. Compared with standard Zylok, the Prime’s normal attack lists 210 rather than 140 damage; its magazine holds 12 rather than 8 rounds, and its critical and status chances are 12% and 36% rather than 8% and 26%. Catabolyst is described as a short-range stream of corrosive bile with an ammo-bladder grenade on reload; Cyanex uses homing ricochets and Gas clouds; Kraken fires two quick shots per trigger pull. Their descriptions indicate different behaviors, not a universal performance ranking.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The duplex trigger and listed speed describe measured firing.
- The Incarnon attacks have a separate damage profile and listed charge time.
- Activation and charging conditions for Incarnon Form are not specified.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Combining normal and Incarnon damage as one attack.
- Assuming an Incarnon activation or charge condition from the listed charge time.
