Understand Zylok
Useful when…
- Measured normal fire with a duplex trigger and Slash-weighted damage.
- Using the listed Incarnon Form as a separate charged attack with a radial component.
Normal attack
The normal attack is hit-scan, with listed speed 1.8 and 140 damage: 44.8 Impact, 16.8 Puncture, and 78.4 Slash. It has 8% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 26% status chance. The duplex trigger and eight-round magazine describe its normal firing and capacity.
Incarnon Form attacks
The separate Incarnon Form is listed at speed 1 with a 0.6-second charge time, 20% critical chance, and 40% status chance. Its hit-scan attack lists 160 Impact and 240 Puncture damage. The separate radial attack lists 600 Heat damage, with falloff ending at 6 meters and 60% reduction.
Mastery and comparisons
Zylok requires Mastery Rank 6. Kraken is described as a heavy pistol that fires two quick shots with one trigger pull. Kuva Kraken fires three quick shots per pull and can alt-fire the remaining magazine as a burst. Cyanex instead uses ricocheting homing projectiles and Gas clouds. These descriptions show different firing behaviors, without establishing a universal replacement for Zylok.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The normal magazine holds eight rounds.
- Normal and Incarnon attack values describe separate modes.
- Activation and charging conditions for Incarnon Form are not specified.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Combining normal and Incarnon damage values into one attack.
- Assuming an Incarnon activation condition not specified in the facts.
