Tips[]
- Despite being a sniper rifle primarily intended against single targets, the exploding barbs make Sporothrix equally valuable as a crowd control weapon. Aiming at grouped enemies is a good way of maximizing the weapon's effectiveness.
- There are several ways to make use of the Sporothrix's high critical damage by adding flat critical chance bonuses:
- An Adarza Kavat with Cat's Eye can give your weapons an additive 60% boost to critical chance.
- Likewise, Smeeta Kavat's Charm can guarantee orange crits as one of its possible effects.
- With another player using the Mutalist Quanta's Alternate Fire, shooting through the orb adds a flat +25% critical chance, in addition to +25% critical damage and extra Electricity.
- Harrow's Covenant can add up to +50% additive crit chance, or +200% on headshots, after absorbing enough damage.
- A fully ranked Arcane Avenger has a 21% chance upon receiving damage to grant +45% flat critical chance.
- An Adarza Kavat with
