[Coda Catabolyst] is now up: Click here for the guide on that!
Empty Slot is Magnetic Might & Element is Radiation
Weapon Information
The Coda Catabolyst is the Coda variant of the Catabolyst with increased Base Damage, Status Chance, DPS and no stats decreased with a Mastery Lock of 17.
The Coda Catabolyst can be obtained by vanquishing a Technocyte Coda and using live heartcells to obtain the weapon from Eleanor at Hollvania.
The Coda Catabolyst comes with 1 V Polarity Slots, making the builds in this guide require 4 Forma.
Coda Element
The Coda Catabolyst has the option of having a Bonus Coda Element based off what was chosen when purchasing the weapon from Eleanor. For this guide I suggest Radiation, allowing the weapon to have the most flexibility against all factions. However, with Valence Override one can have a lot more options and freedom, where I will utilize this in the Builds section.
Advantages
Reloading throws a grenade that explodes in a 5-7 meter radius upon impact.
Maximum beam range has a small blast radius allowing for it to hit multiple enemies.
Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
Disadvantages
Must be manually reloaded due to reload mechanic.
Linear Damage Falloff from 9m to 19m.
Damage ramps up to 100% over 0.6 seconds and after firing stops for 0.8 seconds it decays.
Explosions cause Self-Stagger.
