Effects
Damaging Zone on Fully Charged Shot Zone deals 3 base damage, scaling off Power Strength (per hit, 3 hits)

Plasma Beam is a Primary Weapon for Nina. When equipped, firing a fully charged shot at an enemy will leave a lingering damage zone for 0.5 seconds, dealing 3 base damage for up to 3 hits. The damage of this zone scales off of power strength, rather than attack strength. Additionally, fully charged shots will always pierce through enemies, even if the shot doesn't kill. Plasma Beam cannot be used with Verity Beam.

  • An enemy can now only have one lingering damage zone spawned on it per 0.5 seconds, preventing situations where weapons like Scatterblast spawned multiple zones on a single enemy.
