Strategy
Tips
- Aim for the head as this weapon one shots the head, but not the body. Use Burning Tiara and around level 7 modules to do more damage, making it 1 shot to body.
- Be careful when aiming, as it has only one capacity per use, meaning that you will pay dearly if you misfire.
- Switch to a backup weapon in case you are out of ammo.
- Try to hide after shooting as this weapon's fire rate is shocking.
- Avoid using Three Category Spam with this weapon, as its input and output delay relative to its very low rate of fire practically renders it impossible for 3cat usage.
Counters
- Any high-capacity Sniper, area damage or Primary weapons can outclass its users.
- Attack its users while they are reloading or cooling down.
- Move around randomly so they will have a hard time aiming at you.
- Try to flank the user with high mobility weapons so they cannot hit you.

Trivia
- This is one of the few snipers that does not feature a reload animation.
- It has the slowest firerate for a sniper in the game, even beating out One Shot.
- It looks very similar to Sentence, having many shared characteristics.
- Like the Mammoth, it makes a sort of whirlwind/swirl, when it shoots.
- Similar to Sharp Snowflake, the player still puts the projectile back into the weapon when you are out of ammo, and you will not be able to shoot until you pick up more.
- This would be considered a true railgun since it fires a physical projectile.
- It having the
attribute make no sense, as not only does it have no projectile, but shots go through surfaces.
