Overview

Unlock — Found in the field by breaking pre-determined destructible objects. Specific area not confirmed pre-launch. [uncertain — exact location]

Mechanics

Holds to spray a continuous cone/area of fog. The fog damages multiple enemies on contact and persists long enough to chain together kills — the 'Fogburst' achievement requires eliminating 6 enemies in one continuous spray. Likely consumes Joules per second of spray rather than per use. Best against rooms full of weaker enemies or chokepoints. Lost on death. Specific damage type (poison, electric, plain) is suggested as poison by the GoNintendo review but not confirmed by official sources. [uncertain — damage type]
