root@maliwan-db:~$ cat description.txt

A legendary Maliwan nova shield that creates a strong singularity when it breaks, dragging nearby enemies toward you before following up with a shock nova. It is best used to disrupt crowds, pull enemies out of cover, and create quick Second Wind opportunities.

root@hyperion-db:~$ cat notes.txt

Its effect only triggers on a full shield break. The shock nova that follows can hit extremely hard, which makes it excellent for mobbing.

It can roll the Grounded prefix through a Maliwan capacitor for shock immunity, but it cannot spawn with other elemental immunities. It has strong synergy with Gaige, Krieg, and Maya. In The Pre-Sequel, the Doppelganger can pass it to Digi-Jacks for area control, though despawning can prevent the nova from going off. The pull can also affect the Cara-Van, and triggering it at point-blank range can damage you.
