Combat

Basic Attack

Fires large pollen grains in rounds of three, which bind and orbit around an enemy. Multiple grains can orbit a single target.

Charge Attack

Fires a larger pollen grain that sometimes inflicts poison. The grain moves fairly slowly in a straight line. When hit with a charge shot, any orbs circling any enemy from the normal attack (either from the user, or team members) will explode, dealing damage to other enemies in a small radius. The explosion has a chance of inflicting poison.

Damage

The following damage values represent the weapon at its completed level, without any UV or bonus from other equipment, and are listed as a range found from the first to last floor of each stratum.

Normal shots will do only 1 point of damage against all enemies.

The charge attack shares its damage with Callahan and Iron Slug, while the charge explosions share damage with unexpanded Supernova, and status alchemers. While the shots have the same power as its cousin, Neutralizer, the charge attack is not as strong against neutral targets.
