Effect and Behavior
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.
Evolution Conditions
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.
Strengths
- 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)
Weaknesses
- Evolution destination currently unknown
- "Defensive" classification may trade raw offensive output for protective utility
- Requires reaching level 5 for consistent unlock
Recommended Characters
- 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
Recommended Passives
- 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
Synergistic Arcanas
- IX Divine Bloodline: crit compounding on disc hits raises DPS
- III Tragic Princess: more projectiles increase simultaneous disc deployment
Strategy and Tips
- 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.
