Red Text
See, I told you they'd listen to Reason.
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.
When charged and fired, an Order-made sniper that fires three wide‑spreading penetrating railgun projectiles. Critical Damage +40% is applied, balancing ease of hitting and firepower. It assumes a charge usage typical of Order weapons.
🧩 Red Text Origin The unique ability name “Ultima Ratio Regnum” is Latin for “the king’s final argument (= cannon / force)”, a wordplay on the red text “See, I told you they’d listen to Reason.” — a sarcasm equating force with persuasion. There is secondary information that it quotes Neal Stephenson’s novel Snow Crash, but the primary DBs (Lootlemon/MentalMars) have it unconfirmed = the source from an external work is (unverified).
What kind of sniper rifle? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Order-made charge sniper (≈0.9‑second charge). No element (Kinetic)
- After charging, fires the entire magazine in a 3‑round burst. The projectiles spread wide and penetrate, making it easy to hit even with precise aiming
- Critical Damage +40% applies — firepower scales enough to aim for the head
- The charge wait makes it a “create a firing timing” type. It’s satisfying to line up enemies on a line and pierce through multiple at once
Unique Effect (Mechanics)
Ultima Ratio Regnum: After charging, fires wide, penetrating triple railgun projectiles. Critical Damage +40%.
- In-game: Fires wide, penetrating triple railgun shots with +40% Crit dmg
- Web (Lootlemon): After a ~0.915s charge, fires the entire magazine in a 3‑round burst of piercing railgun shots, each dealing 100% kinetic gun damage, with +40% Critical Damage.
- Weakness: Due to charge time, close‑range and reaction while taking damage are weak
Correction note (web verification) The previous entry listed the element as “Fire”, but Lootlemon / MentalMars confirm it as No element (Kinetic / Physical). This article corrects it to no element.
