Effects
Rapid-Fire Shots (30/sec) Charging Disabled 0.4x primary weapon damage

Verity Beam is a Primary Weapon for Nina. When equipped, holding down the attack button will rapidly fire a stream of projectiles at a rate of 30 shots per second, however, the player's primary weapon damage will be multiplied by 0.4. These projectiles fly straight horizontally, but have a slight bit of random vertical spread. These shots cannot be charged by normal means, but half-charged shots can still be fired if the player has the Dracopent set bonus active, as well as fully charged shots if they also have Dracopent's Claw and the Resonant Buster. However, regardless of what levels of charged attacks the player can use, Verity Beam cannot be used with Plasma Beam, Chaos Beam, Sage Beam, or Sniper Beam.

Against bosses, attacks will not trigger boss i-frames, but they will only deal 0.4x their normal damage (1.6 base damage).

Shots which hit enemies with Verity Beam will only restore 0.15 energy, instead of 0.5.

Trivia

• Only the act of charging is disabled. Verity Beam can still fire charged shots by means other than manually charging, including shots which were already charged prior to equipping Verity Beam.
• Verity Beam is likely based on the 20XX Power Vera, as it has a similar name and firing style.

History

• Release 1.00.15(?): Fully charged shots from Verity Beam now trigger the effects of Burn for Glory.
