NotesEdit

The 81 Corrosive damage is dealt in 3 ticks of 27 damage, over the course of 2 seconds. This allows a single dart to proc multiple times.
- If the dart punches through an enemy, they will instead receive 1 tick.
Tysis needles retain their course after piercing their first target, possibly penetrating multiple targets without losing accuracy.
Tysis needles will be invisible if the energy color is Black, making target leading harder as you can't estimate travel speed and deviation effectively.

TipsEdit

A status chance of 182.50% may be obtained by combining Stunning Speed, Sure Shot, Jolt, Pistol Pestilence, Scorch, and Frostbite. However, there is no benefit to a status chance above 100%.
With its high status chance, the Tysis may be used as a softening weapon against Grineer. Corrosive effects stack, allowing another weapon to easily deliver the killing blow.
- It is recommended to mod the Tysis for Radiation damage when dealing with Grineer, allowing it to deal extra damage to Napalms, Bombards and Elite troops.
Adding Blast damage makes this weapon ideal for battling Infested Ancients, as Fossilized enemies take more damage from both elements.

TriviaEdit

The Tysis' needles may stretch targets if they are already pinned to the wall by another weapon's projectile (like the Boltor).
This is the second Infested weapon available on the Market. The first was the Mire.
- The Tysis is the first Infested sidearm to be non-clan exclusive.
The Tysis may derive its name from the suffix "-ptysis", which typically refers to spitting out substances (e.g. Hemoptysis would refer to spitting blood). It may also be based on Phthisis, the ancient Greek name for Consumption, AKA Tuberculosis, which was named such for "eating its victims from the inside".
The head of the Tysis vaguely resembles the head of a Goblin shark.
