Tysis

The Tysis is an Infested sidearm that fires corrosive bolts, which are capable of wearing down heavy armor easily.

Characteristics
Advantages:
 * The Tysis is tied with the Galatine's Charged Attack for the highest status chance of any weapon.
 * Innate  Damage makes the Tysis very effective against Grineer as well as Fossilized Infested.
 * This enables the addition of Electric or Toxin damage as standalones, as well as other elemental combinations.
 * Pinpoint accuracy.
 * This weapon's projectiles are not affected by gravity.
 * Due to the Tysis's lack of physical damage, it is guaranteed to proc modded elemental damage types such as viral and radiation.
 * With the addition of the Jolt and Malignant Force mods, the Tysis can be modded to 100% status chance.
 * Unlike other Infested sidearms, the Tysis's blueprint is obtainable on the market.

Disadvantages:
 * Innate Corrosive Damage deals less damage to Proto Shields.
 * Needles fired from this weapon have a travel time, requiring the user to lead their shots.
 * Relatively low fire rate.
 * Requires Mastery Rank 4 to craft.
 * No polarity slots.

Acquisition
The Tysis is purchasable for. Its blueprint may be purchased for.

Tips

 * A status chance of 122.5% may be obtained by combining Stunning Speed, Sure Shot, Jolt and Pistol Pestilence. Although, this is superficial as there is no potential benefit for status chance to reach beyond 100%.
 * With its high status chance, the Tysis may be used as a softening weapon against Grineer. Corrosive effects stack, allowing another weapon to easily deliver the killing blow.
 * If equipped with a  elemental, the Tysis can also be used as an Anti-Corpus weapon.
 * It is recommended to mod the Tysis for  damage, allowing it to deal extra damage to Napalms, Bombards and Elite troops.

Trivia

 * The Tysis' needles may stretch targets if they are already pinned to the wall by another weapon's projectile (like the Boltor).
 * This is the second Infested weapon available on the Market. The first was the Mire.
 * The Tysis is the first Infested sidearm to be non-clan exclusive.
 * The Tysis may derive its name from the suffix "-ptysis", which typically refers to spitting out substances (i.e. Hemoptysis would refer to spitting blood).
 * The head of the Tysis vaguely resembles the head of a Goblin shark.
