A Look Back On The Y-31 Phaser Weapon By Pat Willis#224534

First off this is a niode based laser system for levels 8 and up, as you can see it was a limited release weapon. So for those of you who got one let's see how much of a bargain you got shall we?

There are a couple of niode choices at level 8 for weapons, the Frozen Star niode ice weapon, and the Air Shock Niode missile launcher. Frozen Star has straight damage of 35, a speed of  99, crit-kill at 8%, and a freeze of 3%. So it equals out the Y-31 damage wise, looses out on speed, and both have dual weapon abilities so it is really determined by play style which is the best there. Overall the Y-31 has the more solid speed stat though.

The Air Shock has a straight damage of 13, a speed of 95, and the ability of Splash at 8%. Do I even need to get into this here? No? Good, Y-31 clearly the superior weapon here.

Next up is the Dual Gattling  niode slug thrower at level 10. It has straight damage of 14, speed of 114, and the ability of 2x Damage at 15%. again the damage is higher on the Y-31, speed looses out to the Dual Gatt, and the Gatt has a solid weapon ability to it at a higher percentage.

So really it comes down to your play style. The Y-31 has some nice bells and whistles, deals a solid hit and packs extra Precision to it. Overall not hard to see why it sold out so fast, especially at 15% off with the sale currently going on. So for those who got one, good job looks like a solid investment.
