About this weapon

Its damage is low, and relative vulnerability isn't much use at low level. On the other hand, with this weapon you'll finally be able to give real help to the other level-301, strength-pumped leeks in your team compositions, by multiplying the damage your allies can deal. That way, you'll win back the respect you deserve.

Its second effect, Relative Vulnerability, lowers the target's relative shield by 8 points for 2 turns (stackable). The next damage dealt to the target is then amplified by a multiplicative factor of 0.08, and this happens every time the weapon is used.

Relative Vulnerability is simply a negative relative shield, calculated with the classic Resistance formula.

Take a look at the Tutorial by level: Level 12, for more information.

Damage per TP: 6.25 to 7.5 (not counting the vulnerability)

Investigation

How does it work?
The electric arcs generated by the weapon create an acceleration corridor for neutrinos, to send them straight into your enemies' faces. The trouble is that neutrinos are very hard to observe, because they barely interact with matter. You have to build underground observatories, far from any disturbance, just to detect a few neutrinos a day. So this weapon was built purely on a scientific theory, with no easy way to check how it works. The Sun, for instance, emits a huge quantity of neutrinos: billions of solar neutrinos pass through our bodies every second, without interacting with them at all. That's why this weapon does so little damage. Our fellow scientists are still fighting among themselves over why it generates relative vulnerability. There are indeed three possible origins of the neutrino: the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino). It's also possible that the neutrino is a tachyon, a particle imagined by Gerald Feinberg in 1967, which travels faster than light while still respecting the postulates of special relativity. According to Lorentz invariance, a particle with non-zero mass cannot travel at a speed greater than or equal to the speed of light in a vacuum, which underpins the theory of relativity and the current Standard Model. However, in the lab, its measured speed is 299,799.9 ± 1.2 km/s, i.e. 7.4 km/s faster than light, but given the uncertainty, the photon may well still be the fastest. The neutrino is currently classified in the lepton family, one of the subfamilies of fermions. A lepton is an elementary particle with a spin) of 1⁄2 that is not sensitive to the strong interaction. Besides the neutrinos created by nuclear reactions in the Sun and those coming from beta decay in nuclear power plants, physicist leeks also study neutrinos created in particle accelerators (as in the K2K and CNGS/OPERA experiments). It all started with a buddy of mine who wanted to build a particle accelerator in his living room. And the rascal pulled it off. But since he had no idea what to do with it, he handed it over to the military. [...]
I don't get it...
Like all Weapons, you press here and repeat until there are no enemies left.
Okay, that I get. And what about the name?
The military didn't understand it any better than you did, but they liked the name of the particle.
I can see why: with a name like that, this weapon is seriously cool.
Miss, before you stands one of the most scientifically advanced weapons ever built, whose very existence was still a wild gamble just 5 years ago. And those military morons turned it into a low-level weapon to hand out to new recruits... Do you at least know what an arithmetic progression is? This weapon has the potential to finish off any enemy!
Personally, I prefer the Shotgun. Especially since your accelerator isn't very practical: it only works diagonally.
