*Each tick and the final explosion can damage and proc status independently.
*Tendrils do not require line of sight to latch onto enemies, but cannot pull enemies through walls.
*Will not pull or damage enemies inside a Nullifier bubble. Will deal damage to the bubble on the arrow hit and on explosion, but not on pre-explosion damage ticks. This is the case whether firing outside the bubble or from within the bubble. 
* causes the arrow to explode immediately after landing.
* only affects the radius of the final blast, and does not increase the range of appendages.
*Direct hits on enemies will immobilize them during the tendril pull as they panic, including enemies with Overguard.
==Tips==
*Because of the weapon's appendages pulling enemies into a cluster, it synergizes extremely well with Warframe ability augment mods that require enemies within the said abilities' area-of-effect to trigger, such as with 's and 's .
*Good primary weapon choice for Specters, because of its crowd control abilities and high base damage.
*Can be used to pull enemies into 's Gaze to ensure their armor is reduced (or removed) before the explosion takes place.
==Trivia==
*A Proboscis is the elongated, tube-like mouthpart on insects like butterflies, mosquitoes, etc.
