CODEX

The Scoliac Whip is a nasty parasitic growth of sinew and bone that inflicts heart stopping  Toxin damage with attacks.

The Scoliac is an  Infested whip with  Toxin damage on its slam attacks.

Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  Slash damage.

Advantages:

• High  Slash damage – effective against health.
• Slam Radial Damage deals  Toxin damage, bypassing Shields and Proto Shields.
• Decent critical chance.
• Second highest status chance of all whips, behind  Galvacord/ Secura Lecta.
• Stance slot has polarity, matching the  Coiling Viper.
• Innate polarity.

Disadvantages:

• Low  Impact and  Puncture – less effective against shields and armor.
• Slam Attack has innate  Toxin damage – less effective against Machinery, Robotics, and Fossilized.
• Tied with  Lecta and  Secura Lecta for the lowest critical multiplier of all whips.

Acquisition

The Scoliac's blueprint can be researched from the Bio Lab in the dojo.

Notes

• The Slam Radial Damage has a 29% chance to inflict the  Toxin status effect, but is unaffected by status chance mods.

Trivia

• The Scoliac's name may be derived from Scoliosis (derived from Ancient Greek σκολίωσις skoliosis “obliquity, bending”), a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved unnaturally.
• The Scoliac was the first whip revealed, shown in Livestream 14. However it was introduced after the  Lecta.
• When the Infested lab was revamped the Scoliac's model could be seen in a container, along with the  Embolist, shortly before the Scoliac was actually added into the game.
• This is the second whip to be added to the game (following the  Lecta), and the third research melee weapon available (following the  Prova and the  Dual Ichor).
