Ignis Wraith

The Ignis Wraith is the Wraith version of the flamethrower, featuring improved critical chance, status chance, and magazine size.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals damage.
*Beam:
**Beam has a thickness of 0.15 meters, largest beam thickness of all continuous weapons.
***Because of this and the pinpoint accuracy, 's penalty is negligible on this weapon.
**Consumes 0.5 ammo per tick of damage.
**Damage ramps up from 35% to 100% over 0.6 seconds when firing. After firing stops for 0.8 seconds, the damage decays back to 35% over 2 seconds.
**Limited beam range of 27 meters (+3m blast radius at the endpoint resulting in a total range of 30m).
*** can be equipped to extend the maximum range.
*The zone of impact or maximum beam range has a spherical blast radius of 3 meters, allowing it to hit multiple enemies at once.
**Can benefit from ().
**Area of effect can headshot (bug).
**Area of effect does not inflict self-stagger and has no Damage Falloff.
**Multishot has no effect on the radial damage like other AoE continuous weapons.
**Longer reach (27 meters vs 20 meters)
*A fully built Ignis Wraith may be sold by Baro Ki'Teer in the Concourse section of the Tenno Relay for and . Note that Baro Ki'Teer's stock changes with each appearance, and this weapon may not be available on a succeeding appearance.
**Unlike other weapons sold by Baro Ki'Teer, the built Ignis Wraith is not tradeable.
*The blueprint is available to research for Clans rank 10 and above in the Chem Lab.
*The blueprint may also be purchased from Ticker in Fortuna during the Star Days event (February) for 25 Advances Debt-Bonds.
This weapon can be sold for .
==Notes==
*The Ignis Wraith's hit detection is composed of two parts:
**A perfectly accurate central beam that reaches up to 27 meters. This beam has a 0.15-meter thickness, unlike other beam weapons whose beams are very narrow.
**A spherical blast with 3 meters radius appears at the zone of impact or at maximum range.
***Punch through affects the location of the weapon's area of affect. The weapon's area of affect is applied at the final point of contact where the beam ends rather than whenever the beam punches through an enemy or object.
** only affects the beam range, not the beam thickness and the area of effect.
**() only affects the area of effect, not the beam thickness and the beam range.
*When combined with other elemental mods, such as , it will no longer deal the original fire damage, losing its high bonus versus Infested (+50%).
*The Ignis Wraith's spherical AoE can destroy rockets launched from a Bombard's .
**This only works if the Ignis deals or damage. Building for or will not produce this effect.
*The Ignis Wraith can deal headshots and target enemy weak spots.
==Tips==
* and apply damage to the weapon. They do not act like base damage mods, but rather stack with the innate damage of the weapon.
*Adding , , or additional damage makes the Ignis very effective versus Grineer / Corpus / Infested, respectively.
*It is a wise idea to equip a long-ranged weapon in your secondary slot when using the Ignis Wraith.
*It is unwise to have Specters equip this gun as they only fire on targets when they are ~10m away from them.
* can be equipped to the Ignis Wraith, causing enemies to deal damage on death to other nearby enemies. This aids in crowd control and quicker elimination of weaker and closely-grouped enemies.
*Due to its nature of AoE, this weapon is particularly effective against destructible projectiles.
*Adding as a second results in an increase of damage. The reduction of accuracy will cause the beam to slightly waver, which is a negative for most weapons, but is arguably a benefit for the Ignis as the effective AoE spread will widen slightly.
**The loss in accuracy is small enough that the central beam will still land headshots consistently at maximum distance, even with equipped.
*The Ignis Wraith is designed to deal with crowds, spreading low damage but hitting all enemies in range, where most other weapons (besides explosive dealing AoE weapons) are single or multi-target. In other words, the larger the crowd, the better the weapon becomes at distributing damage compared to most other weapons.
*The Ignis Wraith is very useful in reactor core Sabotage missions, as its spherical AoE allows it to destroy several exposed reactor cores at once.
*Shade's can activate even if the Ignis Wraith is being fired, so long as the fire key is held down upon Ghost's activation.
**This is more effective on the Wraith variant, as it has 50 more magazine capacity over the original, allowing more time to be cloaked and deal damage.
* can also be equipped on the Ignis Wraith, greatly increasing the range of its central beam. This will also move the spherical AoE forward by the same distance.
*The radius of the spherical AoE can be increased with .
==Trivia==
*Ignis Wraith could previously be obtained from:
**Introduced in Operation: The Pacifism Defect event. The exact form in which the weapon can be acquired differs depending on the level of participation during the event:
***All participating players in Clans that achieved the specified Clan Participation Score (e.g. 260 for Ghost clans) received an Ignis Wraith blueprint at the end of the event.
***All players in a Clan that achieved the specified Victory Score during the event (e.g. 4,000 for Ghost clans) immediately received a complete Ignis Wraith with a free weapon slot and a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst.
***Clans that placed within the top 10% scoring clans in their tier received Research for the Ignis Wraith in the Clan Dojo's Chem Lab at the end of the event. The research costed 5,000 , 1,000 , 4,000 , 2,500 , and 2,000 at Ghost Clan tier.
**The yearly February Star Days event had Ticker in Fortuna sell the blueprint for 25 .
**Prior to the blueprint could be traded between players.
*The Ignis Wraith was hinted at by a forum post sent by Rebecca Ford regarding the then-upcoming The Pacifism Defect event that was an Acrostic, a form of writing where the first letter of each line spells out a word or words. The message, with the first letter of each line bolded for clarity, read as follows:
==Bugs==
*The flame effect will vanish when pressing the fire button in short bursts, causing the weapon to sometimes be firing invisible flames.
