Notes

• Spores has a spreading radius of 15 meters.
• The quills cause ~80%  Puncture and ~20%  Impact damage.
  • Quill damage is affected by  Bite and elemental mods.
  • Quills can apply status effects normally, according to their current damage types.
• Enemies hit by quills are then afflicted by spores, similar to  Saryn's  Spores, which inflict  Viral damage every second and apply  Viral procs.
  • Each spore deals damage and applies  Viral procs independently.
  • Spore damage is not affected by mods.
  • Unlike  Spores, spore damage does not increase over time.
  • A maximum of 10 spores can spawn per enemy.
  • Spores can be spread by shooting or hitting it or the afflicted enemy being killed by an external source of damage.
    • Saryn's  Toxic Lash will also burst all spores on a target.
  • Spores remain active and spread as long as Panzer Vulpaphyla is alive. If Panzer Vulpaphyla dies and enters larval state (Panzer Devolution), the larva can fire Quills and initiate a new instance of Spores. These Spores remain active and spread only during this larval stage. When larval stage ends and Panzer Vulpaphyla respawns in full form, the larval Spores will end.
• Pairs well with  Hunter Recovery, Healing the Warframe for a percentage of the damage done by both the Quills and the Spores produced.
