Introduction
The Calamity is a close to mid-range (up to 600 meters) heavy energy weapon.
Strategy
The Calamity is the heavy electric beam weapon version of the light Spark and medium Scourge.
The Calamity is essentially a large mid-range taser that locks onto a target and fires an electrical arc that sticks to a single target and does continuous damage as long as you remain locked-on. It has to empty its clip in order to reload, meaning this weapon must be fully discharged while locked onto a target before reloading.
The Calamity has the special ability to inflict more damage the closer it is to the target so it works well for both mid- and close-ranged engagement. It's similar to the Zeus but with a much longer discharge and a decrease in damage the further away the target is. The weapon is best used for sustained DPS and for hitting fast, agile bots.
More optimal choices for close-in engagement include Redeemer and Ember, but the Calamity's extra range allows much more versatile attacks and adaptability to most situations.
