Did you hear something?
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 Tediore-made assault rifle “stop-only” that always lands a critical on dying enemies (under 35% health). It has higher base damage than previous Tediore weapons, and pierces bosses whose health has been reduced. It appeared as a single unit in the Halloween Horrors of Kairos event.
🧩 Red text source “Did you hear something?” is a wordplay on the weapon name “Murmur”. A faint sound = murmur, picked up by “Did you hear?” making a pun directly tied to the name. Primary source confirming it as a quote from a specific work is unverified (the external original source is (unverified)).
What kind of assault rifle? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Tediore-made AR. Unique effect is critical guaranteed on enemies below 35% health
- Weak enemies can be reliably finished with critical damage = finisher / excels at shredding
- Compared to previous Tediore weapons, base damage is higher, and it has high rating in boss fights
- Because it’s from a limited-time event, after the event acquisition difficulty increases
Unique effect (mechanics)
Executor: Enemies with health under 35% receive a guaranteed critical hit.
- In-game: Executor — Deals Critical Damage to enemies under 35% Health.
- Web (Lootlemon): Guarantees a critical hit on targets below 35% health
- Significantly higher damage than previous Tediore AR = excellent in boss fights
- Weakness: Effect triggers only after enemies are reduced below 35% = early shredding must be done manually / guaranteed crit only in later phase
