+ | Persona weapons form a psychic bond with the first wielder that equips them. The weapon must be destroyed for a wielder to bond to another persona weapon. Without the Freewielder trait, the wielder must die for the weapon to be held by another. The bond remains broken if the wielder is [[Resurrector mech serum|resurrected]], though they can relink with the weapon. When bonded, persona weapons have no value, both for [[trade]] and for the purposes of [[raid points]]. | ||
− | + | Each individual persona weapon has a certain combination of traits, listed in [[#Persona traits]]. It also has a randomly generated custom name. | |

+ | When a zeushammer hits with its head, its [[EMP]] will stun [[mechanoids]], [[turrets]], and [[mortar]]s for 4.5s, regardless of [[quality]]. After being stunned, mechanoids become 'Adapted' and gain immunity against further stuns for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs), regardless of stun length. | ||
− | == | + | == Analysis == |
− | + | Persona zeushammers boast a significantly higher [[Damage per second|DPS]] than the base [[zeushammer]] or [[monosword]], and can only be used by a single pawn unless they have the Freewielder trait. | |
− | |||
− | + | As a zeushammer deals Blunt damage, it can be better than the [[persona monosword]] when considering armor. Most enemies have much better Sharp % rating than Blunt. But even a regular [[monosword]] has enough {{AP}} to ''completely'' ignore a [[centipede]]'s armor, with the persona monosword also bypassing [[recon armor]] and poor [[marine armor]]. Overall, a regular persona monosword beats the blunt weapon in DPS up to marine armor, only starting to fall off against cataphract. | |

− | |||
− | + | Masterwork and legendary monoswords have so much {{AP}} that they completely outclass the zeushammer in raw DPS. However, the "overkill" mechanics of Blunt damage mean that, if a persona monosword cleanly cuts off a limb, a persona zeushammer would destroy the limb and likely deal damage to the parent body part. This makes the blunt weapon roughly equal or better when fighting humanlike enemies. The sharp weapon is better against any high HP enemies, like centipedes. | |
− | |||
− | + | Due to adaptation, using a zeushammer actually becomes counterproductive when fighting mechs along with [[EMP grenades]] or another source of EMP. All other sources of EMP stun for much longer, and the first stun causes adaptation immediately. The zeushammer retains its niche against turrets, as well as certain other uses of EMP (like breaking [[shield belt]]s). | |
