Styanax's speargun matches his might. Throw Afentis to pin an enemy and nearby enemies will also be stunned. Throw Afentis onto the ground to buff allies with Ballistarii Might. The buff increases reload speed, fire rate, and ammo pools and reduces recoil. Allies who kill enemies with Ballistarii Might maintain the buff temporarily when they move away from Afentis.

As Styanax struck and struck again with the Afentis, making little headway against the relentless Leviathan, a final desperate scream from Aria achieved the impossible.
It awoke Darro.
From out of those thousands of fused bodies, a single mind was suddenly saying no.
Latching his remaining arms around his tormentor's throat with the very last of his life's strength, the doomed Darro distracted the Philanthropist long enough for Styanax to act.
One last act of love and protection, for his sister.
But the Warframe hesitated. It seems he understood the importance of Darro's rebellion.
If one mind could turn upon its master... why not all of them?
With but a gesture, he gave the captive minds their freedom.
Suddenly awakened and aware of their hellish plight, the damned townspeople tore at the Philanthropist's exposed face, the Leviathan's body coming apart as arms broke free from the mass, clawing for revenge.
Together they dragged the screaming Philanthropist down, rending and tearing.
In that moment, we can be assured the Philanthropist knew the depth of his failure.
His defeat.
Without worshipers, a god... is nothing.

And Styanax delivered the final, merciful stroke.
Afentis is a speargun that serves as the Signature Weapon of  Styanax. It shoots ballistic projectiles that embed itself on a surface or enemy before exploding, dealing high  Blast damage but is burdened by low fire rate and low magazine. When thrown with Alternate Fire it impales enemies onto surfaces; impacting the ground instead produces a field that boosts ally Weapons' reload speed, fire rate, and reserve ammo, and reduces recoil.



Characteristics[]
This weapon deals primarily  Blast damage.
Primary Fire shoots ballistic projectiles, causing a small 3 meter explosion after 0.8 seconds on impact with a surface or enemy.

Alternate Fire throws a duplicate of the Afentis, allowing the player to keep using the speargun instead of switching to their secondary arm:
Throwing the spear consumes 1 ammo, then reloads the weapon.
If it hits an enemy, they are impaled to the surface for 20 seconds.
Shockwave inflicts self-stagger, despite dealing no radial damage.
If it does not hit an enemy, the spear produces a 5 meter Ballistarii Might field.
The field lasts for 10 seconds.
Killing an enemy while player is within the Ballistari Might field will maintain the buff for 40 seconds which counts down upon leaving the field.
Ballistarii Might grants the following buffs:
+50% reload speed
+20% fire rate
+100% reserve ammo
-50% recoil.
The buff affects both primary, secondary, melee, and atmospheric Archguns.
Only one spear can be deployed at a time. Throwing the spear again will remove existing spears.
Thrown spear is unaffected by multishot.
Reloads 33% of the magazine per second while holstered.

Notes[]

Tips[]
When fighting from a holdout position in Survival and Defense missions, plant the Ballistarii Might field well within squadmates' reach  so that everyone can easily benefit from the added firepower.
Note that triggering the extended Ballistarii Might buff will not automatically grant the bonus ammunition reserves, so players must manually pick up the extra ammo while the buff is active or, alternatively, use a Squad Ammo Restore deployable for quick replenishment.
Bugs[]
Afentis is able to equip  Vigilante Supplies, but not any other Ammo Mutation mod.
Vigilante Supplies also does not function properly, picking up and consuming secondary ammo boxes without giving ammunition to the Afentis.
