Overview
While firing, periodically summons Sparkling Queenfish for a laser volley. Cooldown does not tick while you keep firing.
Research note
I believe research into this specimen could lead to advancements in laser pointer technology.
Mechanics
Each shot while cooldown is ready summons 4 plus your domain layer count Sparkling Queenfish in a roughly 160° arc behind your aim direction. They line up about 12 tiles behind you and fire lasers one by one starting after about 0.3 seconds, roughly 0.2 seconds apart.
Lasers extend along your live aim direction for about 100% weapon damage plus 35% per domain layer. Worm body segments take ×0.75 damage; Devourer of Gods head and tail take ×1.33.
Cooldown does not advance from volley start until every fish has left the screen. Sustained fire cannot start the next round early. After the last shot, fish exit after about 0.8 seconds and fly off-screen about 1.5 seconds later.
Tips
The rhythm is fixed and works well against large stationary bosses. To start another round, wait for all fish to leave, stop firing, and let cooldown finish.
