On hitting an enemy, if the player has any shield, they will launch a homing missile that deals 40% (+40% per stack) total damage with a proc coefficient of 0.2. In addition, the first Plasma Shrimp the player acquires gives shield equal to 10% of their maximum health.

Notes

• Correction: The in-game description of +50% total damage per stack is incorrect.
• Having any number of Plasma Shrimps will make the shield bar pink, instead of the normal blue color. This includes other shield sources such as Personal Shield GeneratorPersonal Shield Generator

  Increase max health by 100% (+100% per stack). Reduce movement speed by 50% (+50% per stack).: when the player's maximum health is modified, the amount of shields they gain is increased or reduced by the same amount.
• The missiles fired by Plasma Shrimp act differently than every other missile in the game, rapidly homing on the target while ignoring other enemies and terrain. If the original target dies, missiles will not search for a new target.

Tips

• Any damage with a proc coefficient greater than 0.0 triggers the Plasma Shrimp. This makes attacks with lower coefficients very effective, since it effectively increases the proc coefficient of them by 0.2.
  • The Plasma Shrimp can be especially useful on skills that can quickly fire multiple projectiles, such as Bandit'sBanditThe Bandit is a high-skill combo character that can dish out devastating backstabs while weaving in and out of stealth.

  • It's worth noting that Plasma Shrimp activates on-hit items more frequently and quickly than AtG Missile Mk. 1AtG Missile Mk. 1

    Luck is on your side.
    All random effects are rolled +1 (+1 per stack) times for a favorable outcome., AtG Missile wins out if triggering Proc Coefficient is as low as 0.5; any lower than this, and Shrimp Missile is still productive. These numbers don't necessarily apply to activating on-hit effects. This theory does not account for increased stacks of AtG Missile Mk. 1s which has more single damage potential than Plasma Shrimp.
• Although the Plasma Shrimp is more effective at stacking status effects on enemies than the AtG Missile Mk. 1 in nearly all cases (since it adds +0.2 proc coefficient while the AtG adds 10% of the original), its low proc coefficient means that the extra stacks inflicted will have extremely low duration. However, this is still useful for attacks that have a low proc coefficient themselves.

Lore

"I believe there is a benefit to attacking from behind an impenetrable defense. Some may call it cheating, they may call you a coward, even... I call them targets. History is written by the winners, after all."
