Player Notes

 * When thrown, the initial grenade splits up, into 3 (or 5 with the rank 6 evolution power) extra grenades.
 * Damage is per grenade, so if all "split" grenades hit, damage inflicted as well as the force of the grenades will be extremely high. This can be frighteningly effective against any enemy foot-soldier, because on lower difficulties, one "split" grenade can inflict serious damage to weaker enemies or kill them outright. Or an entire grenade can seriously injure or even kill even the strongest foot-soldier (such as Phantoms, or Centurions).
 * Trajectory is very important as the grenade splits in a forked pattern. This can be devastating against enemies spread out if used correctly. Alternately, it can diminish most of the effectiveness of this grenade power.
 * While attempting to throw the grenade out of tall cover (at least character height) when peeking to your character's left, sometimes instead of flying gracefully toward your enemies, they will bounce off the wall/cover you're peeking out of, landing slightly behind you and doing nothing. Be mindful of your surroundings and make sure you have enough clearance to throw the grenade in the first place, or you may end up wasting what precious few you have.
