CODEX

Add lethal staccato percussion to Octavia's melodies with this masterpiece assault rifle.

Tenora Prime is the Primed variant of the Tenora assault rifle, acting as a direct upgrade with some expense to the Alternate Fire's fire rate. Tenora Prime was released alongside Octavia Prime and Pandero Prime.

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 Prisma Gorgon, Soma/ Soma Prime, and Telos Boltor for the second highest critical chance of all fully automatic rifles, behind Battacor and Acceltra.
- Above average critical multiplier.
- Very high 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 Quellor and Stahlta for the highest critical chance of all charge-up rifles.
- Tied with Battacor and Stahlta for the highest critical multiplier of all charge-up rifles.
- High status chance.
- 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:

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.

Notes[edit | edit source]

As a Signature Weapon, Tenora Prime 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 Prime's charge shot deals 28 damage for every 1 ammo consumed (a total of 280 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 in the primary category and shared only with Aksomati Prime.
