Tysis

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

Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:
 * Highest base status chance of any secondary weapon.
 * With the right combination of mods, the Tysis can be modded to have a 100% status chance, guaranteeing a proc with every shot.
 * Innate  Damage makes the Tysis very effective against Grineer as well as Fossilized Infested.
 * This enables the addition of or  damage as standalones, as well as other elemental combinations.
 * Due to the Tysis's lack of physical damage, it is guaranteed to proc elemental damage types.
 * Pinpoint accuracy.
 * This weapon's projectiles are not affected by gravity.

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.
 * Fairly low damage.
 * Physical damage mods (such as Razor Shot) will have no effect on the Tysis.

Tips

 * A status chance of 182.50% may be obtained by combining Stunning Speed, Sure Shot, Jolt, Pistol Pestilence, Scorch, and Frostbite. However, there is no benefit to a status chance above 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.
 * It is recommended to mod the Tysis for  damage when dealing with Grineer, allowing it to deal extra damage to Napalms, Bombards and Elite troops.
 * Adding damage makes this weapon ideal for tackling Infested Ancients, as Fossilized enemies take more damage from both elements.

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 (e.g. Hemoptysis would refer to spitting blood).
 * The head of the Tysis vaguely resembles the head of a Goblin shark.
