Red Text
Finish the song!
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
A multi‑element assault rifle made by Vladof that sprays fire and cold alternately (or simultaneously with double barrel). Huge magazine + high rate allows continuous fire, can cover fire and ice weaknesses simultaneously, a versatile AR. The name and red text are references to ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ (Game of Thrones).
🧩 Red text source “Finish the song!” is a jab at the fact that author G.R.R. Martin has still not completed the series of the original novel A Song of Ice and Fire (Lootlemon / MentalMars / Game Rant). The weapon name “Aegon’s Dream” and the unique effect name Prophetic are references to the prophetic dream of Aegon I Targaryen described in House of the Dragon. The behavior of firing fire (Incendiary) and ice (Cryo) simultaneously itself is a pun on “Ice and Fire”.
What kind of assault rifle? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Made by Vladof, so high rate of fire + large capacity magazine are its hallmark. The more you keep firing, the more satisfying.
- Shots fire fire (Incendiary) and cold (Cryo) alternately. One barrel can cover two elements.
- While double barrel (Extra Barrel / under barrel) is active, fire + cold are fired simultaneously. Switching ammunition raises fire rate and wind‑up.
- Can damage enemies regardless of elemental weakness = beginner‑friendly rifle that doesn’t require you to consider elements.
Unique effect (Mechanics)
Prophetic: double barrel simultaneously fires Incendiary (fire) and Cryo (cold).
- In‑game: Fire/cold alternate each shot. When double barrel is active, both elements fire simultaneously.
- Web (Lootlemon): Prophetic - Double barrel shoots Incendiary & Cryo
- Always spawns with Extra Barrel (under barrel), and switching reduces rate and wind‑up time.
- 2025-10-23 patch increased base damage +35% (unverified, from patch notes).
