Notes[]
Soul Swarm projectiles
- Killing enemies with the Tatsu Prime will make it store up to a maximum of 5 Soul Swarm charges, with 1 charge gained per kill. These charges can then be discharged upon performing a slide attack, releasing seeking projectiles that home in on enemies within 30 meters, dealing 96 Radiation damage, stuns them upon impact, and has a chance of inflicting Radiation proc. The number of projectiles launched is equivalent to the number of charges stored.
- Soul Swarm charges can only be stored for a maximum of 120 seconds, with the timer refreshing when a new charge is gained.
- When used by Revenant/ Revenant Prime, the maximum number of stored Soul Swarm charges is increased to 9.
- Soul Swarm projectiles will home in on enemies within range even if the player is facing away from them.
- All charges are launched at once against the current number of available enemies, meaning that if there are fewer enemies than there are projectiles, it is possible for a single enemy to be hit by multiple projectiles at once.
- Enemies stunned by these projectiles are also open to finishers.
- Maiming Strike does not make the projectiles deal critical damage.
- Ivara's Navigator, allows control over 1 Soul Swarm projectile.
- The weapon's default stance is Wise Razor.
- Heavy attacks with this weapon have a guaranteed Slash proc.
