CODEX

Deadly slashes from the Sigma sword are matched only by the force of the Octantis shield when thrown from the air.

The Sigma & Octantis is a sword and shield combo, available through the Daily Tribute system, as a reward for logging in for 700 cumulative days. This weapon features a special throw attack, which throws the shield at an enemy, damaging them.

Acquisition

• Sigma & Octantis is exclusive to the Daily Tribute system. It will become available every 200 days, beginning at day 300, until chosen as the Milestone reward.

Characteristics

This weapon primarily deals damage.

Advantages:

• Second highest damage of all sword & shields, behind  Silva & Aegis Prime.
  • High damage – effective against health and shields (although and is much better against the respective damage classes).
• Highest attack speed of all sword & shields.
• Aerial attacks throw the shield, damaging enemies.

Disadvantages:

• Low and damage – less effective against shields and health.

Notes

• The throw attack is done by simply tapping the melee button while in mid-air; holding down the button is not necessary, which makes it very fluid.
  • The shield is thrown ~25-30 meters away.
• Throw attacks can be done both while the weapon is fully equipped or with a quick melee attack.
• The thrown shield has a slight homing effect, similar to thrown Glaives, though it is still capable of missing.
• The throw attack can be done in any direction (dictated by your aim), and therefore the usual downward melee slam attack is done by looking straight down.
• Throw attack seems to home in on the closest enemy rather than the enemy being aimed at, making precise targeting difficult.

Trivia

• Sigma & Octantis likely refers to the southern star σ Octantis (Sigma Octantis) whose position near the southern celestial pole makes it the southern hemisphere's pole star.
