A sphere of hot plasma suspended in an advanced magnet array, swung wildly from a precarious braid of wires and gizmos.

Overview

Plasma Flail is a handheld weapon consisting of a blazing sphere of plasma held aloft by an advanced magnetic array and tethered to a precarious braid of wires and devices. The magnetic suspension keeps the plasma orb stable enough to be swung, while the spliced cable assembly gives the whole weapon a wild, erratic motion when used. The visual and mechanical design emphasizes unstable energy and makes the flail feel volatile compared with conventional blunt weapons.

In practical terms the Plasma Flail behaves like a flail-type blunt weapon but with plasma aesthetics and magnetically sustained motion. The in-game tooltip omits its blunt bonus damage value; when the weapon is in an uncharged state it deals 6.5 blunt damage. The omission in the tooltip means players must rely on external sources or testing to know its blunt damage contribution rather than trusting the displayed stats alone.

  • Appearance: a hot plasma sphere held in a magnetic array, swung from a fragile-looking braid of wires and gizmos; animations emphasize erratic swinging.
  • Damage: uncharged state deals 6.5 blunt damage. The tooltip does not show the blunt bonus damage explicitly.
  • Handling: behaves like a swung/flail weapon; the unstable tether and magnetic suspension are part of the weapon’s theme and affect presentation rather than introducing hidden mechanics beyond the noted damage omission.
  • Notes for players: verify actual damage values through combat testing because the UI can omit blunt bonus numbers; expect visually dramatic attacks and occasional unpredictability in reach or arc due to the weapon’s described construction.

Do not rely solely on the weapon tooltip for blunt bonus numbers; confirm damage empirically if precise values are required for builds or comparisons.
