Weapon Mechanics
| Primary behavior | A slowdown zone that damages enemies over time |
|---|---|
| Base cadence | 5 base damage and 5s base cooldown before run bonuses. Fire-rate and cooldown bonuses can reduce cooldown, but runtime cooldown is floored at half the base value. |
| Level scaling | Area denial slow field. L2/L4/L6/L8 improve field size, hold time, and the capstone request-throttle lock. |
| Role | Controls territory; area, duration, and enemy pathing determine how much value it gets. |
| Family bonus | Network-family weapon. Often controls lanes, packets, zones, or score-friendly enemy flow. |
| Evolution route | At Lv8, pairs with Dark Mode Lv1 to evolve into Firewall Rule. |
