Cero

cero (Spanish: "zero") is a ranged item in item asylum. It makes the user charge and fire a large beam.
==Functionality==
cero has no physical appearance when equipped. 
Clicking anywhere on the screen will cause the user to be immobilized and charge for 2 seconds, after which the user will blast out a red beam from their mouth (team-colored if playing on team-based gamemodes) in the direction they are facing, dealing a consecutive 6 damage per tick to anyone caught in the beam's range. 
cero has a 7 second cooldown after use.
===Synergy ===
If the player has hero blade or legion kata in their inventory or the RogueWoken ELIM special modifier is active, the beam will change to a shadow gun; a barrage of shots made of shadow. The player can freely move for a short while upon charging the shadow gun, and becomes immobilized upon firing. The shots the user fires are directed towards the user's point of aim, unless they are using shift lock or first person, where they will fire in their facing direction. This deals a consecutive 9 damage per tick, as well as a brief period of hitstun to anyone caught in the range of the gun. 
shadow gun also has a 7 second cooldown after use.
==Tips== 
*Use this against an unaware group of players fighting, as it will net the user a couple of free kills.
* This weapon works best in small or enclosed maps (even both) such as dropship, due to the large hitbox the beam provides and little running space for the user's foes.
*Be wary as charging or firing the beam does NOT grant you invincibility frames while immobilized. It's best to use this far away from players and avoiding people having a spammable weapon, or by hiding behind obstacles as the beam can traverse through walls.
*While range for said beam is large, transforming it into its shadow gun form will shorten the hitbox massively, resulting in the user having to be closer to their enemies to deal damage.
*Using this with Distraction is recommended, as when Cero is equipped the user will be completely invisible (the small glowing ball appears when charging Cero).
*If you unequip Cero while it is still charging, the cooldown does not start, allowing the user to cancel the attack if they know they will miss.
*You can attempt to aim cero while charging by using first-person or shift lock to hit your enemies more accurately.

==Trivia==
*The tooltip and cooldown bar of the item changes upon using the synergy with hero blade or legion kata.
*This is the 3rd item added to the game to have more than one tooltip, following necromancer's scythe and apologist.
**Since the two mentioned items have their tooltips picked by random, this is also the first item whose tooltip changes conditionally and not randomly, followed by smile and esto es el fin.
***However, the tooltips of those items change depending on factors outside the game, making cero the only weapon in the game whose tooltip is affected by in-game factors.
