CODEX

Firing high-velocity blades, this weapon can also be used as a battle-saw, shredding anything unfortunate enough to get into range.

The Panthera is a Tenno blade launcher that launches circular sawblades. It also possesses an Alternate Fire that levitates a spinning saw blade in front of it, dealing continuous damage to enemies within range.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:

• Primary fire is tied with  Zhuge for the highest base damage of all fully automatic rifles.
  • High damage – effective against health.
• Alt-fire allows for close quarters attacks that can deliver devastating procs in a short amount of time and staggers enemies.
• Alt-fire has very high critical chance.
• Both firing modes have very high status chance.
  • Alt-fire can reach 100% status chance with  Thermite Rounds,  Rime Rounds,  High Voltage, and  Malignant Force.
• Primary fire has pinpoint accuracy.
• Primary fire projectiles can bounce, enabling them to hit multiple targets.
• Can use the Panthera-exclusive  Disarming Purity Augment mod.
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Low and damage – ineffective against shields and armor.
• Primary fire has low critical chance.
• Primary fire projectiles have travel time.
• Alt-fire has an extremely limited range of 6 meters.
• Primary fire consumes 2 rounds per shot.
• Both firing modes have the slowest fire rate of all fully automatic and continuous weapons.

Acquisition

The Panthera's blueprint can be acquired from the Market for 20,000 Credits 20,000.

Notes

• The Panthera's primary fire mode shoots fast-moving sawblades that will ricochet off walls and enemies up to three times.
• The Panthera has a secondary fire mode initiated by holding down the alternate fire key (default MMB ). This levitates a spinning sawblade up to 6 meters in front of the weapon, dealing continuous damage to enemies that make contact with it, as well as staggering them. While active, the secondary fire consumes ammo continuously (modified by fire rate) per enemy being damaged.
  • The sawblade floats out of the weapon towards its levitation point, taking around half a second to reach its maximum range. The sawblade retracts back into the launcher once the trigger is released.
  • Punch Through allows the secondary fire mode to hit enemies behind cover as long as the enemy is within the secondary fire's range, and the punch-through depth is sufficient to penetrate through the intervening cover.
  • Can use both  Combustion Beam and  Sinister Reach. Combustion Beam works on kills made by the secondary attack and also the primary attack.
  • The primary fire mode cannot be used while this is active.
• Although the Foundry will claim that the Panthera can be crafted if a  Hikou Prime is present in the inventory, it won't allow the Hikou Prime to be consumed to build the weapon.
• Compared to the  Miter (based on the ranged attacks and on uncharged shots):
  • Lower total damage on uncharged attacks (100.0 vs 125.0)
    • Higher damage (20.0 vs. 6.25).
    • Higher damage (10.0 vs. 6.25).
    • Lower damage (70 vs. 112.5).
  • Faster fire rate (3.0 vs 0.526).
  • Larger magazine size (60 vs 20).
    • Primary fire consumes 2 ammo per shot, compared to one ammo per shot for the Miter.
  • Larger ammo capacity (540 vs 72).
    • Uses rifle ammo, unlike the Miter, which uses the relatively rarer sniper ammo.

Tips

• The Panthera has a high chance of cutting corpses into pieces, making it an ideal candidate for a Desecrating  Nekros to bring along, as the game considers the cut corpses as separate entities, essentially giving multiple corpses to desecrate from a single enemy and thus yielding more chances to create more drops.
  • This also applies to the secondary fire, which will not consume ammo when used on a corpse.
• As of update 24.2.15 Heavy Caliber affects this weapon differently. It increases the spread between shots with multishot. resulting in a uniform spread not randomness.
• Although the Panthera has lower total damage compared to uncharged Miter shots, it has higher and damage, making it more effective against shields and armor.
• Multishot mods cause the sawblades to be fired adjacent to each other if no accuracy penalty mods are equipped. This may cause the blades to miss when firing directly at far targets.

Bugs

• Despite [DE]Megan stating in Hotfix 21.0.9 that Panthera's Alt-Fire now benefits from explosion radius mods, it is still unable to equip  Firestorm, which is the only mod that could possibly increase this radius.
• Although fall-off distances are given in the primary fire specs, there is no damage fall-off.
• The blades shot from the gun with any punchthrough Mod equipped will go through terrain, but not enemies.

Trivia

• Panthera is a genus within the Felidae family that includes the tiger, lion, jaguar and leopard. They are characterized by morphological structures in their throats that allow them to roar.
• Despite the green decal depicted in the Panthera's portrait, the default decal color of the Panthera is blue.
• This is the third weapon that requires two different pre-made weapons in order to craft (following the  Redeemer and the  Tipedo), and the first weapon that requires weapons from 2 different factions (the Tenno-made  Hikou and the Grineer-made  Miter).
• The Miter, one of the prerequisite weapons needed to construct the Panthera, is similar in that it also fires sawblades.
  • The Miter's sawblades are horizontally aligned, whilst the Panthera launches vertically aligned sawblades.
• The blades fired by Panthera have a design within the disc similar to the  Glaive.
