Sun Spot! Sun Spot run! Run Spot run!
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.
The Legendary pistol, a “shoot-through” type that gets heavier per shot as the magazine empties. It is Order-made and has the unique ability “Eclipse” that increases damage the more you fire. The more you fire without sparing remaining rounds, the higher the firepower, making it an aggressively inclined weapon.
🧩 Source of the red text “Sun Spot! Sun Spot run! Run Spot run!” is a parody of the classic phrase from the children’s English learning book series “Dick and Jane” (“Run, Spot, run!” is a representative excerpt) (MentalMars/Fandom). The weapon name “Sunspot” (solar sunspot) and the repetitive beginner reader style are combined in a wordplay.
What kind of pistol? (Beginner’s perspective)
- Legendary pistol (Order-made). With the unique ability “Eclipse”, damage increases the closer the magazine is to empty.
- The more you fire, the heavier each shot becomes = works well with a playstyle that shoots through without sparing remaining rounds.
- The balance of reload frequency and number of shots is key. A playstyle that leverages the firepower in the latter half of the magazine is suitable
Unique effect (Mechanics)
Eclipse (Eclipse): magazine emptiness damage increases accordingly.
- In-game: Eclipse — Damage scales based on the emptiness of the magazine
- Web (Lootlemon): Eclipse — Damage scales based on the emptiness of the Magazine.
- The later part of the magazine (when few rounds remain) makes each shot heavier
- Weakness: In the early magazine, damage does not increase, and mismanaging reloads causes you to miss out on the benefit
