The Tenora is 
Octavia's signature assault rifle, which features two different firing modes: a standard full-auto fire mode that increases fire rate and accuracy the longer it shoots, and an Alternate Fire mode that fires a single powerful, charged shot. Has a chance to instantly refill magazine after a headshot charged shot kill while being used by Octavia.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
This weapon deals primarily 
Puncture damage.
Advantages:
- Primary Fire shoots bullets in a fully automatic fashion.
- High
Puncture damage – effective against armor.
- Near-equal physical damage distribution – effective against all factions, Sentient fighters and Shadow Stalker.
- Tied with Baza Prime and full-auto Fulmin for the third highest critical chance of all fully automatic rifles, behind Prisma Gorgon/ Soma/ Soma Prime/ Telos Boltor, and Battacor/ Acceltra.
- Good status chance.
- Fire Rate and accuracy increase as the trigger is held, with near-perfect accuracy once spool-up is complete.
- High
- Alternate Fire charges a single, powerful shot.
- Tied with Battacor for the second highest critical chance of all charge-up rifles, behind Quellor.
- Tied with Battacor and Stahlta for the highest critical multiplier of all charge-up rifles.
- Charge is automatic and does not need to be held down.
- Pinpoint accurate.
- Innate 1 meter punch through.
- Tied with Battacor for the second highest critical chance of all charge-up rifles, behind
- High magazine size and ammo reserves.
Disadvantages:
- Primary Fire:
- Low base damage; very reliant on its critical multiplier potential.
- Ill-suited against Object-based health as it nullifies any critical hits.
- Requires a spool-up of 9 shots before optimal fire rate and accuracy are achieved.
- Low base damage; very reliant on its critical multiplier potential.
- Alternate Fire:
- Low Impact and Slash damage – less effective against shields and health.
- Uses 10 ammo per shot.
- The weapon fires as soon as it has reached a full charge, which can lead to premature firing.
- Low status chance.
- Low
- Poor ammo efficiency.
- Slow reload speed.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- When used by Octavia, headshot kills with the Alternate Fire have a 20% chance to instantly refill magazine.
- No weak spots other than actual heads will trigger this effect.
- Tenora's charge shot deals 24 damage for every 1 ammo consumed (a total of 240 damage with max consumption of 10 ammo) per shot. This is of equal ammo efficiency to its primary fire.
- Heavy Caliber's accuracy penalty will be very apparent even at full spool.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Tenora is the Catalan word for Tenor, one of the highest classical male singing voices.
- Tenora may also be a reference to a type of Catalan Shawm, an oboe-like woodwind instrument typically used in Catalonia.
- While there are other weapons with spool-up time, like the Soma and Gorgon series, its accuracy being increased the longer the trigger is held is currently unique to the Tenora.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
- Spent ammo cartridges will always use the default color scheme of the weapon.
- Riven mods that increase recoil above 55% appear to drain 11 ammo instead of 10 on charged shots.
