CODEX

Forged for veterans of the Scarlet Spear conflict, this Lacera has been modified to enhance nimbleness and lethality.

The Ceti Lacera is a variant of the  Lacera that sports improved critical chance and attack speed with some expense to status chance.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Electricity damage.

Advantages:

• Innate  Electricity damage – effective against Machinery and Robotic.
• High  Slash damage – effective against health.
• High critical chance.
• Slam Radial Damage deals ​ Electricity damage.
• Second highest status chance of all blade and whips, behind  Lacera.
• Tied with  Mios for the fastest attack speed of all blade and whips.
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages

• Innate  Electricity damage – less effective against Alloy Armor.
• Low  Impact damage – less effective against shields.

Comparisons:

• Ceti Lacera (Normal Attack), compared to Lacera (Normal Attack):
  • Equal base damage, but different composition:
  • Higher base critical chance (20.00% vs. 5.00%)
  • Lower base status chance (40.00% vs. 45.00%)
  • Higher average damage per tap (259.2 vs. 226.8)
  • Higher burst DPS (279.93 vs. 207.97)
  • Higher sustained DPS (279.93 vs. 207.97)
  • Higher attack speed (1.08 vs. 0.91)
  • Higher Mastery Rank required (12 vs. 7)
  • Lower disposition (●●●●○ (1.15x) vs. ●●●●● (1.31x))

Acquisition

The Ceti Lacera's blueprint could be purchased from Little Duck on the Scarlet Spear Flotilla Relay during Operation: Scarlet Spear for 20,000  Scarlet Credits.

The blueprint was obtainable from Father during Operation: Orphix Venom for 2,000  Phasic Cells.

The blueprint can currently be purchased from Daughter during the October 2021 Nights of Naberus event for 125  Mother Tokens.

Notes

• ​When combining elements the innate  Electricity damage is added last, unless another mod adds this type.
• The fourth attack of the stanceless/Claws of the Drake combo as well as the Heavy Attack use the whip to ragdoll and pull enemies towards the player.
• The Slam Radial Damage has a 40% chance to inflict the ​ Electricity status effect, but is unaffected by status chance mods.

Trivia

• Ceti is the plural form of Cetus, a Latin term for "sea monster".
  • As a reward for the Scarlet Spear event, it likely takes its name from Tau Ceti, one of the closest stars to Earth and the likely homeworld of the Sentients.
• This is currently the only Ceti-type weapon.
