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 damage.

Advantages:

• Primary Fire shoots bullets in a fully automatic fashion.
  • High damage – effective against armor.
    • Near-equal physical damage distribution – effective against all factions, Sentient fighters and Shadow Stalker.
  • Very high critical chance.
  • Good status chance.
  • Fire Rate and accuracy increase as the trigger is held with near-perfect accuracy once spool-up is complete, after respectively 9 and 40 shots.
• 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:
  • Requires a spool-up of respectively 9 and 40 shots before optimal fire rate and accuracy are achieved.
    • Fire rate starts at 40% of its listed value and increases by 7.5% per shot
• Alternate Fire:
  • Low and 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.

Notes

• As a Signature Weapon, Tenora gains a bonus effect with  Octavia or  Octavia Prime, where headshot kills with the Alternate Fire have a 20% chance to instantly refill magazine.
  • The refilled ammo is automatically deducted from ammo reserves, and does not generate ammo.
  • 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 in the primary category and shared only with  Aksomati Prime.

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.

Media

• Tenora in Codex.
