Today we're looking at the limited release niode flame weapon the Evaporator Flare. Please note it is no longer available in the shop. The level requirement for this one is 16, which unless I am misreading the shop is the lowest available level flame weapon.
So in going with that seeing as there is no weapon listed in the shop to compare it to in lower levels we'll instead be looking to the higher level weapon.
That weapon would be the level 19 Red Plasma. It sports a straight damage of 27, a speed of 105, and has the weapon ability of Burn at 6%.
The Evaporator Flare beats it in straight damage capability, looses by a couple points in speed, but increases the Burn weapon ability by 1%, and adds a Precision as a bonus at (3).
Even though this is the lesser level weapon it seems to have many upgrades over its bigger cousin. Equipped to a flame mecha with built in bonuses to not only fire damage but having your Precision rating augmented not only by equipment, but also by weapon bonuses seems quite the win, win situation. I'm beginning to see why it is only released in limited quantities. Being available to low levels as it is, and equipped with some of the lighter tonnage mecha it could make for one mean arsenal of fire through and through. Hope you got them when you could, they were a hell of a deal.
