CODEX

The Sentient slayer. An offering from Ballas.

Paracesis is Ballas's signature weapon, introduced in Update 23.10 (2018-10-12). Also known as the "Sentient slayer", the weapon can gain additional max ranks after polarization capping at rank 40.

Acquisition

The weapon blueprint is given to the player at the end of the Chimera Prologue.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Slash damage.

Advantages:

• High  Slash damage – effective against health and shields (although  Puncture and  Impact is much better against the respective damage classes).
• Polarizing the weapon increases its max rank by 2, capping at rank 40 after 5 polarizations.
  • Each rank above 30 increases mod capacity.

Disadvantages:

• Lowest base damage of all heavy blades.
  • Low  Impact and  Puncture damage – less effective against shields and health.
• Stance slot has polarity, does not match the Conclave-only  Noble Cadence stance.
• Moderately slow attack speed.

Notes

• The weapon's max rank caps at 40 after 5 polarizations (max rank increases by 2 per Forma added).
  • Additional polarizations can be added when the weapon reaches its new max rank at that polarization level.
  • Each additional rank also gives Mastery Rank Experience, giving 4,000 points in total.
  • Mod capacity scales with the additional ranks, and can reach a total of 90 at rank 40 with an Orokin Catalyst installed and a matching stance mod.

Trivia

• Paracesis is the first weapon:
  • That requires Orokin Ducats and Eidolon Shards to craft, with the latter being exclusively required for Arcane Enhancement, specifically Magus and Virtuos Arcanes.
  • That can be ranked up above 30.

Patch History

Hotfix 23.10.4 (2018-10-16)

• Fixed the Paracesis having incorrect Mod capacity at Rank 30, which resulted in certain Mods not functioning correctly. This also fixes not being prompted that an equipped Mod that you are Ranking up via Endo exceeds the max Mod capacity and to uninstall.
• Fixed ability to Forma the Paracesis for the second time when it is not at its ‘max Rank’.

Update 23.10 (2018-10-12)
