Fork overview
Fork is the Sharp Damage specialist. It raises that stat by 15% with no stated condition or trade-off. Spray Paint uses the same number on Blunt Damage, not Sharp Damage.
What does Sharp Damage mean?
Increases Dylan's Sharp Damage output by 15%.
Sharp Damage is the specific damage stat this Artifact modifies. It is not a blanket +15% to every damage source, melee damage, Secondary Form damage, or Drill damage in general. A Secondary Form is not automatically Sharp.
The page does not claim that final damage rises by exactly 15%. It also does not add a Falter bonus.
Recommended form
Drill
Drill is a Secondary Aberrant Form that deals Sharp Damage. Fork's +15% Sharp Damage matches that dimension.
This match comes from public form data, not from a weapon table inside the Artifact data. Crush is Blunt, and Extend is Raw, so neither is a Sharp match.
View DrillIs Fork good?
It is strong when Sharp Damage is a major part of the build, and limited when your attacks are mostly Blunt or Raw.

Fork vs other damage Artifacts
The percentages match. The useful question is whether your main attacks are Sharp, Blunt, or Raw.
Spray Paint
Spray Paint is the Blunt mirror. Drill points to Fork. Crush points to Spray Paint.
| Field | Fork | Spray Paint |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus | +15% | +15% |
| Dimension | Sharp | Blunt |
| Best-known form | Drill | Crush |
| Condition | None stated | None stated |
Trusted Spanner
Trusted Spanner is also +15% with no stated condition, but it raises Raw Damage. The same number is not the same effect.
Trusted SpannerWater Pistol
Sharp attacks are often useful against a Hiss Shield, and Water Pistol adds critical-hit damage only to a Hiss Shield. Fork is not a fixed +15% shield-damage modifier.
