Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.

  • Tied with the Miter Miter's charged shot and KuvaNukor Kuva Nukor for the highest status chance of all weapons in the game.
    • Can achieve over 100% status chance with two of the following: Mod TT 20px Scorch, Mod TT 20px Frostbite, Mod TT 20px Jolt, and Mod TT 20px Pistol Pestilence.
    • Innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage can rapidly strip away armor.
  • Pinpoint accuracy.
  • High reload speed.
  • On kill, bodies will follow the dart that killed them, damaging anyone in their path and pinning the corpse to walls.

Notes

  • The 81 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage is dealt in 3 ticks of 27 damage, over the course of 2 seconds. This allows a single dart to proc multiple times.
  • 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.

Tips

  • A status chance of 202% may be obtained by combining Mod TT 20px Stunning Speed, Mod TT 20px Sure Shot, Mod TT 20px Jolt, Mod TT 20px Pistol Pestilence, Mod TT 20px Scorch, and Mod TT 20px Frostbite.
  • 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.
    • The Tysis may be modded for Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage when dealing with Grineer, allowing it to deal extra damage to NapalmsBombards and Elite troops.
  • Adding Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage makes this weapon ideal for battling Infested Ancients, as Fossilized enemies take more damage from both elements.

Trivia

  • The Tysis' needles may stretch targets if they are already pinned to the wall by another weapon's projectile (like the Boltor Boltor).
  • This is the second Infested weapon available on the Market. The first was the Mire 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.
