Fires a defensive disc projectile. The "defensive" qualifier suggests the disc serves a dual role — dealing damage to enemies it contacts while also providing some form of player protection or obstruction function. The disc-shaped projectile may intercept incoming threats or create a barrier-like presence in addition to its offensive contact damage. Level scaling increases projectile count, damage, and coverage.

Unlocked by reaching level 5 with Discus during a run.

Max Discus (Lv 8), carry Pal Migliano, and open an elite-drop chest after 10:00 to evolve. The post-evolution weapon name is currently unconfirmed from available data.

• Defensive projectile may simultaneously deal damage and provide protective coverage
• Disc shape suggests broad contact area for hitting multiple enemies simultaneously
• Straightforward unlock condition (reach level 5 in a run)

• Evolution destination currently unknown
• "Defensive" classification may trade raw offensive output for protective utility
• Requires reaching level 5 for consistent unlock

• Imelda: +10% Growth speeds leveling — reaches both the level 5 unlock threshold and Lv8 faster
• Survivability-focused builds: defensive disc function pairs with protection-oriented strategies
• Characters with projectile count bonuses: more simultaneous discs increase coverage

• Pal Migliano: mandatory for evolution (top priority)
• Spinach: +10% Might raises disc damage
• Duplicator: Amount increase deploys more discs simultaneously for wider coverage
• Candelabrador: wider area extends disc reach and effective coverage zone

• IX Divine Bloodline: crit compounding on disc hits raises DPS
• III Tragic Princess: more projectiles increase simultaneous disc deployment

• Early (0–10 min): Level Discus and add Duplicator to increase simultaneous disc count. The defensive nature of the projectile allows aggressive positioning — discs provide some protection while dealing damage.
• Mid (10–20 min): Secure Pal Migliano and push to Lv8 for evolution.
• Late (20+ min): Post-evolution defensive discs provide both enhanced damage output and protective coverage. Candelabrador extends reach to catch enemies at greater range.

Q: How do I unlock Discus?
A: Reach level 5 with Discus during a run — after that threshold, it becomes consistently available.

Q: What does "defensive projectile" mean?
A: The disc may intercept enemy attacks or create a protective obstruction in addition to dealing contact damage. The exact defensive mechanic is visible during gameplay.

Q: What does Discus evolve into?
A: The evolution destination is not confirmed in current available data. Carrying Pal Migliano and opening a chest at Lv8 after 10:00 triggers the evolution.
