CODEX

A blood-red variant of this destructive flamethrower.

The Ignis Wraith is the Wraith version of the  Ignis flamethrower, featuring improved critical chance, status chance, and magazine size.

Characteristics

This weapon deals  Heat damage.

Advantages:

• Innate  Heat damage – effective against Cloned Flesh, Infested, and Infested Flesh.
• Good critical chance.
• High critical multiplier.
• Very high status chance.
• Pinpoint accuracy.
• Large magazine size.
• High ammo capacity.
• Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
• Beam has a thickness of 0.15 meters, largest beam thickness of all continuous weapons.
  • Because of this and the pinpoint accuracy,  Heavy Caliber's penalty is negligible on this weapon.
• The zone of impact or maximum beam range has a spherical blast radius of 3 meters, allowing it to hit multiple enemies at once.
  • Can benefit from  Firestorm ( Primed) and  Amalgam Furax Body Count.
  • Explosion does not inflict self-stagger and has no falloff.
• Innate infinite punch through against bodies.

Disadvantages:

• Innate  Heat damage – less effective against Proto Shields.
  • Damage cannot be increased with  Impact,  Puncture or  Slash mods.
• Damage ramps up from 35% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 35% over 2 seconds.
• Limited beam range of 27 meters (+3m blast radius resulting in a total range of 30m).
  •  Sinister Reach can be equipped to extend the maximum range.
• Innate punch through does not apply to surfaces, requiring punch through mods.
• (bug?) Multishot has no effect on the radial damage.

Comparisons:

• Ignis Wraith (Normal Attack), compared to Ignis (Normal Attack):
  • Higher base damage per projectile (35 vs. 33)
    • Higher  Heat damage (35 vs. 33)
  • Higher total damage (35 vs. 33)
  • Higher base critical chance (17.00% vs. 11.00%)
  • Higher base critical multiplier (2.5x vs. 2.0x)
  • Higher base status chance (29.00% vs. 27.00%)
  • Higher average damage per tap (43.92 vs. 36.63)
  • Higher burst DPS (351.4 vs. 293.04)
  • Higher sustained DPS (8676.54 vs. 4726.45)
  • Larger magazine (200 vs. 150)
  • Larger max ammo capacity (800 vs. 750)
  • Faster reload time (1.7 vs. 2)
  • Higher Mastery Rank required (9 vs. 5)
  • Lower disposition (●○○○○ (0.55x) vs. ●○○○○ (0.60x))
  • Longer reach (27 meters vs 20 meters)

Acquisition

This weapon was awarded from Operation: The Pacifism Defect event. The exact form in which the weapon can be acquired differs depending on the level of participation during the event:

• All participating players in Clans that achieved the specified Clan Participation Score (e.g. 260 for Ghost clans) received an Ignis Wraith blueprint at the end of the event.
• All players in a Clan that achieved the specified Victory Score during the event (e.g. 4,000 for Ghost clans) immediately received a complete Ignis Wraith with a free weapon slot and a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.
• Clans that placed within the top 10% scoring clans in their tier received Research for the Ignis Wraith in the Chem Lab at the end of the event.

A fully built Ignis Wraith is now potentially sold by Baro Ki'Teer in the Concourse section of the Tenno Relay for 250,000 Credits 250,000 and 550 Ducats 550. Note that Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with each appearance, and this weapon may not be available on a succeeding appearance.

The blueprint was available from Ticker in Fortuna during the Star Days event for 25  Advances Debt-Bond.

The blueprint is now available from Veil Proxima Grineer-controlled territory Abandoned Derelict Caches in Empyrean missions.

The blueprint can be traded, although the recipient must have a Mastery Rank of at least 9. However, the fully built version from Baro Ki'Teer is not tradeable. Because of its ease of accessibility thanks to The Pacifism Defect and Empyrean, many players are willing to give away a blueprint copy for free.

Source	Chance	Expected	Nearly Guaranteed
Main Blueprint	8.7%	11 – 12 Rotation B Caches	76 ± 25 Rotation B Caches

Notes

• The Ignis Wraith's hit detection is composed of two parts:
  • A perfectly accurate central beam that reaches up to 27 meters. This beam has a 0.15-meter thickness, unlike other beam weapons whose beams are very narrow.
  • A spherical blast with 3 meters radius appears at the zone of impact or at maximum range.
    • Punch through affects the location of the weapon's area of affect. The weapon's area of affect is applied at the final point of contact where the beam ends rather than whenever the beam punches through an enemy or object.
  •  Sinister Reach only affects the beam range, not the beam thickness and the area of effect.
  •  Firestorm only affects the area of effect, not the beam thickness and the beam range.
• When combined with other elemental mods, such as  Cold, it will no longer deal the original fire damage, losing its high bonus versus Light Infested (+50%). Thus, it is advised to add  Toxin damage to create  Gas damage to kill Light Infested. Add  Electricity +  Toxin to create  Corrosive damage, and add  Cold to create  Blast damage to kill Heavy Infested.
• The Ignis Wraith's spherical AoE can destroy rockets launched from a Bombard's  Ogris.
  • This only works if the Ignis deals  Heat or  Blast damage. Building for  Radiation or  Gas will not produce this effect.
• The Ignis Wraith can deal headshots and target enemy weak spots.

Tips

•  Hellfire and  Wildfire apply  Heat damage to the weapon. They do not act like base damage mods, but rather stack with the innate  Heat damage of the weapon.
• Adding  Corrosive,  Magnetic, or  Gas in addition to  Heat damage makes the Ignis very effective versus Grineer / Corpus / Infested, though less effective against Corpus Proto Shields.
• It is a wise idea to equip a long-ranged weapon in your secondary slot when using the Ignis Wraith.
• It is unwise to have Specters equip this gun as they only fire on targets when they are ~10m away from them.
•  Combustion Beam can be equipped to the Ignis Wraith, causing enemies to deal damage on death to other nearby enemies. This aids in crowd control and quicker elimination of weaker and closely-grouped enemies.
• Due to its nature of AoE, this weapon is particularly effective against destructible projectiles.
• Adding  Heavy Caliber as a second  Serration results in an increase of damage. The reduction of accuracy will cause the beam to slightly waver, which is a negative for most weapons, but is arguably a benefit for the Ignis as the effective AoE spread will widen slightly.
  • The loss in accuracy is small enough that the central beam will still land headshots consistently at maximum distance, even with  Sinister Reach equipped.
• The Ignis Wraith is designed to deal with crowds, spreading low damage but hitting all enemies in range, where most other weapons (besides explosive dealing AoE weapons) are single or multi-target. In other words, the larger the crowd, the better the weapon becomes at distributing damage compared to most other weapons.
• The Ignis Wraith is very useful in reactor core Sabotage missions, as its spherical AoE allows it to destroy several exposed reactor cores at once.
• Shade's  Ghost can activate even if the Ignis Wraith is being fired, so long as the fire key is held down upon Ghost's activation.
  • This is more effective on the Wraith variant, as it has 50 more magazine capacity over the original, allowing more time to be cloaked and deal damage.
•  Sinister Reach can also be equipped on the Ignis Wraith, greatly increasing the range of its central beam. This will also move the spherical AoE forward by the same distance.
• The radius of the spherical AoE can be increased with  Firestorm.

Trivia

• The Ignis Wraith was hinted at by a forum post sent by Rebecca Ford regarding the then-upcoming The Pacifism Defect event that was an Acrostic, a form of writing where the first letter of each line spells out a word or words. The message, with the first letter of each line bolded for clarity, read as follows;

Rebecca Ford's Encrypted Message ▾▾

It's coming - but not today. The earliest it will release is tomorrow.

Good news - we're working on our first Clan Operation in quite some time to be a part of this, so please bear with us as we get all the details in

Nice order.

If you are in a competitive Clan: The moment the Operation begins, your Clan Roster is locked in. Clan membership changes that occur after the

Start of the Operation will not be reflected in the Leaderboards.

Wise move: Prepare!

Rally!

Act now!

If you wish to readjust your membership, do so before the Operation begins!

This is advanced warning.

Heads up!

Bugs

• The flame effect will vanish when pressing the fire button in short bursts, causing the weapon to sometimes be firing invisible flames.
