## Description and Alternative Items

*For the alternative items, see Living Flame*

Binary Star is an upgraded Living Flame. It is a Blast Seal whose living fire seeks enemies through walls.

Each living flame released by Binary Star can seek out enemies through the wall and prime them guaranteed, as long as they aren’t invulnerable to fire. When a Living Flame touches an enemy, it does the mentioned damage once, then applies a fire damage over time that is dependent on the javelin’s power level and total fire/elemental damage. This means, the fire damage over time can be lower or higher than the mentioned damage in the statistics.

Binary Star has a bug that lets it do weak point damage when targeted at the weak point of an enemy. Any other enemy in the same class can also receive weak point damage if the living flame contacts them.

Binary Star has a high recharge time for a gear that is supposed to damage enemies. So, it is recommended to use items that can increase its recharge rate (or decrease recharge time).

This item has a special ability, which is a procedural perk that can be activated by performing an action mentioned in its masterwork perk.

**Masterwork Perk**: Launches two living flame projectiles that burn enemies.
