Red Text
Such devastation... This was my intention.
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 Legendary pistol of Order with fire element that fires two homing rockets each time you reload. Since reload is the trigger for damage, the more you go through the shoot→reload cycle, the more follow‑up rockets you get. It’s a gun that meshes with builds that increase reload speed.
🧩 Origin of the red text “Such devastation… This was my intention.” is a reference to a line from a character in Final Fantasy XIV (Mobalytics). It evokes a passage reminiscent of Emet‑Selch’s narration about destruction in the game’s “Black Vilan” (The primary confirmation of the specific character is (unverified)).
What kind of pistol? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Order-made fire-element pistol. Order has a manufacturer trait that allows charging to fire multiple rounds at once
- With the unique ability “Kismet”, fires two homing rockets each time you reload. Each rocket deals up to 2× card damage
- Since reload is the damage trigger, the more you go through the shoot→reload cycle, the more follow‑up damage you get. It synergizes well with reload‑speed builds
Unique effect (mechanics)
Kismet: on reload, deals up to 2× card damage with two homing rockets.
- In-game: Kismet — fires two homing rockets on reload
- Web (Lootlemon): Kismet - On Reload, fires 2 Homing Rockets that deal up to 2x Card-Damage each.
- Fire element makes it strong against unarmored, flesh enemies. Because the rockets home, they are easy to hit moving targets.
- Order’s charge mechanism also allows firing multiple rounds at once, and the higher the reload speed, the more shots and rocket rotations you get.
