Weapon Mechanics
| Primary behavior | Lock one enemy type; matching enemies inside the zone take triple damage |
|---|---|
| Base cadence | 12 base damage and 6s 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 | A typed punishment zone. L2/L4/L6/L8 add bigger pattern fields, stricter same-type payoff, and broader regex ownership. |
| Role | Controls territory; area, duration, and enemy pathing determine how much value it gets. |
| Family bonus | Meme-family weapon. Counts toward Viral Stack and often adds helpers or high-variance pressure. |
| Evolution route | At Lv8, pairs with Overclocked Lv1 to evolve into Pattern Matcher 9000. |
