==Weapon Perks== | ==Gameplay== | ||
Similarly to [[Trinity Ghoul]], Ticuu's Divination fires three arrows per one unit of ammo spent, with these arrows capable of causing explosions under the right circumstances. Otherwise, however, the two bows function massively differently. | |||
When firing from the hip, Ticuu's Divination will fire three [[Solar]] "darts" that home in on enemies and "mark" them - signified by flames running over their body - but deal very low damage. The enemy or enemies the darts will home towards are designated to the user by the target having a red rectangle over them. Enemies closer to the crosshair will be prioritized, and the weapon can lock on to three enemies at once, one for each dart. When firing while aiming, these darts are combined into a single arrow that flies in a normal trajectory and deals far more damage without any homing; marked enemies struck by the aimed darts will release a fiery explosion from their bodies, doing huge damage to both them and any enemies near them. These explosions will also happen if a marked enemy is killed by something while still marked, and will be significantly stronger if the aimed shot is both perfectly-drawn, and hits the target in the head. | |||
Compared to most bows, which are strictly single-target damage weapons due to their slow effective "fire" rate but high damage, range and accuracy, Ticuu's Divination just as effective against several enemies as it is lone ones thanks to its Sacred Flame explosions. Multiple weak enemies can be cleared out by just two shots from this weapon. However, while the idea of a homing bow that fires three arrows at once sounds very powerful on paper, the Divination's homing "darts" are, as mentioned above, very low-damage for a bow. While this makes the weapon highly adept at harassing and suppressing enemies at longer ranges, it also means the weapon will struggle to secure kills unless its wielder alternates between hip-fired and aimed shots with each arrow nocked, constantly triggering Sacred Flame explosions, which - by contrast - deal remarkably solid damage. | |||

*'''Causality Arrows:''' Arrows fired while aiming down sights cause Sacred Flames to instantly detonate.

==Trivia== | |||
*Before Season 15 gave all Primary-ammo-using weapons unlimited reserves, Ticuu's Divination was noted for its terrible ammo efficiency; its need to constantly fire arrows to cause explosions rapidly ate through the weapon's supply of arrows, which was in stark contrast to most other bows, which were very ammo-economical. Other "low-damage-but-high-fire-rate" weapons such as [[Malfeasance]] shared this issue. | |||
*The weapons seems to have residual time effects around itself. [[Banshee-44]] notes that he believes he always had the bow's [[Exotic Catalyst]], but doesn't remember getting it.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quest]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/banshee-44-points-piercing-forever-2 Points Piercing Forever 2]''</ref> More worryingly, the weapon messes with the gunsmith's internal chronometer, and he feels like it was always meant to be in [[The Guardian]]'s hands.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Quest]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/banshee-44-points-piercing-forever Points Piercing Forever]''</ref> | |||
