The Red Gourd has no defensive capabilities; for attack, it has single shot, burst shot, scatter shot, Soul-scattering Storm, and the Ninety-nine Spirit Scattering Great Array, totaling five kinds. It's unlikely to gain more abilities in the future; these are essentially all it has. From what we can see so far, this is a purely offensive Spiritual Treasure, with all its abilities focused on damage.
As he pondered, Xin Yun nodded in satisfaction. Although he already possessed a powerful Spiritual Treasure like the Kongtong Seal, overall, the Kongtong Seal was like a missile, a weapon of mass destruction, not suited for all situations.
The Soul-scattering Gourd, on the other hand, combined the multi-functionality and high power of a handgun, rifle, submachine gun, shotgun, and rocket launcher. It could unleash immense power in any situation, and once the Ninety-nine Spirit Scattering Great Array was deployed, its power was enormous.
