Exard Scaffold

The Exard Scaffold (or community-denoted as "x5x") is a scaffold used in Amp construction, that allows the weapon to perform an alternate secondary fire function (default ). The Exard fires a rapid-fire barrage of explosive projectiles that detonate on contact with enemies or the environment. When fired, the Exard will continue firing until the Amp's energy is spent.
The blueprint is sold by Little Duck for standing and requires a rank of Agent to purchase. It is also a possible rank-up reward for advancing to Agent with Vox Solaris.
==Characteristics==
This weapon deals mostly damage.
Advantages:
*Innate damage – effective against Sentient-type enemies.
**Can reset any damage adaptation built up by Battalysts, Conculysts and Shadow Stalker.
**Can damage Teralyst, Gantulyst and Hydrolyst's impervious shields.
**Can destroy the otherwise impervious Vomvalyst's spectral form.
**Can change Profit-Taker Orb's shield weakness.
*Good critical chance.
*Very high status chance.
*Shots explode in a 1 meter radius on impact with a surface or enemy.
**Initial hit and explosion apply status separately.
**Explosion does not need direct line of sight to deal damage and will penetrate walls.
*Can immediately re-enter Void Mode after firing stops.
*Does not use ammo pickups; energy regenerates over time.
**Has a 2 second delay after the weapon stops firing before regenerating energy.
***Regenerates 30 energy per second; takes 3.33 seconds to regenerate a fully depleted energy meter.
Disadvantages:
*Below average critical multiplier.
*Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
*Explosion has a headshot multiplier of 1x and cannot trigger headshot conditions.
*Explosion has linear Damage Falloff from 100% to 70% from central impact.
*Very inaccurate at range.
*High recoil.
*Consumes entire energy bar at a rate of 165 energy/second.
==Notes==
*As each of the Exard's shots consumes 20 Amp energy, the Exard can normally fire a total of 5 shots per burst before it depletes an Amp's energy supply. Braces that increase Amp energy capacity, such as the Clapkra Brace, Anspatha Brace, and Suo Brace, can increase the amount of shots fired.
