*With infinite ammo and no reload, the Grimoire can benefit greatly from Fire Rate mods to increase damage output.
*Multishot significantly helps charging alternate fire meter, as individual projectile hit contribute toward charging it.
==Lore & History==
=== Albrecht's Notes ===
After Albrecht's pilgrimage into the Wall of Lohk, he began documenting important events and details of his research. The pages of his Grimoire soon became full of records detailing the experimentations, Albrecht's journey to Duviri, and the purpose behind the Vessels.
=== Voruna's Continuity ===
The Grimoire was first mentioned in 's Leverian exhibit. During The Collapse, when the betrayed and hunted down any nearby Orokin, Executor Tuvul would attempt to perform one last Continuity ritual on himself to escape his demise. Arriving in the Circulus, Tuvul would use the profane knowledge contained within pages of Albrecht's Grimoire to imbue a bowl of Kuva with eldritch energies.
His Continuity was ultimately thwarted by Voruna who, now fused with her wolf pack, promptly tore the Executor apart. Albrecht's codex was later retrieved from the site by Drusus Leverian, who used it to aid in his telling of Voruna's story.
=== The Kalymos Sequence ===
=== The Whisper Self ===
Copies of Albrecht's eldritch book may sometimes spontaneously materialize within his Laboratories. Unbinding the tome and looking too deeply into its pages will summon a dark mimic, which will then punish the reader harshly for their meddling. Once unbound, a doppelgänger of the Tenno's Operator will crawl up from the ground, and will then mimic the appearance of the Warframe.
During battle, the Whisper will use numerous abilities from various other Warframes, all while laughing gleefully. Once banished, they will drop a Melee Arcane Enhancement and an Albrecht's Notes Fragment.
==Trivia==
*A grimoire is a book of magical spells and invocations that allows the user to cast spells, create magical talismans, and summon spirits.
