CODEX

Unload percussive machine gun fire, or strike a heavy chord with a single charge shot. This is Octavia's signature rifle.

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

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 and full-auto Fulmin for the third highest critical chance of all fully automatic rifles, behind Prisma Gorgon/ Soma/ Soma Prime/ Telos Boltor/ Tenora Prime, 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Poor ammo efficiency.
• Slow reload speed.

Comparisons:

• Tenora, compared to Tenora Prime:
  • Lower base damage (24.0 vs. 28.0)
    • Lower Impact damage (7.2 vs. 8.4)
    • Lower Puncture damage (9.6 vs. 11.2)
    • Lower Slash damage (7.2 vs. 8.4)
  • Lower secondary attack damage (240.0 vs. 280.0)
  • Lower secondary mode critical chance (34% vs. 40%)
  • Lower secondary mode status chance (11% vs. 20%)
  • Higher secondary mode fire rate (10 rounds/sec vs. 2 rounds/sec)
  • Lower primary critical chance (28% vs. 30%)
  • Lower primary critical multiplier (2x vs. 2.2x)
  • Lower primary status chance (16% vs. 24%)
  • Lower fire rate (11.67 rounds/sec vs. 12.67 rounds/sec)
  • Smaller magazine (150 rounds vs. 200 rounds)
  • Smaller max ammo capacity (900 rounds vs. 1000 rounds)
  • Different polarities (None vs. )
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (10 vs. 14)
  • Higher disposition (1.1 vs. 0.5)

Notes

• 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

• 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

• 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.
