Purification of Light: On hitting a Weak Point, inflicts Dispel on the enemy with a set chance.
When two or more enemies are hit by a single shot, there is a high chance to land a Critical Hit on the enemies while also increasing Critical Hit Damage and applying this buff to the attack.

Hitting an enemy triggers a chance to remove its buffs. This effect can activate on multiple enemies simultaneously due to bullet penetration, which also guarantees a crit and increases crit damage when piercing two or more enemies.

What are Sniper Rifles

Can Deal the Highest Single-Shot Damage from Afar

Sniper rifles are, no doubt, the weapon with the highest damage from a single shot. This weapon performs exceptionally well in dealing the most damage to weak spots. However, due to its low ammo capacity and fire rate, it's difficult to use sniper rifles on fast-moving targets that constantly run toward you. Even in boss fights, where the boss may move around a lot, it's easy to miss a shot.
