Tips and Details

  • The spear itself has no hitbox whatsoever, and will simply fly through any enemies harmlessly until it hits the ground or a platform.
  • The spear can be fired at any time, be it while in midair, while casting another skill, or even while it is still forming during its own casting animation.
    • The only exception to this is - as the tooltip states - while you are being attacked and in hitstun.
  • When you turn around, the spear will linger briefly before fading out and fading back in behind you. As a result of this, it is possible to have the spear fire behind you when turning around too quickly.
  • The skill will gain Combination points upon being fired and dealing damage as long as it was initially cast from Ciel, like any other Lu Switching Skill, even if fired while on Lu. This allows it to grant you gauge mid-Combination Skill, allowing you to gain any relevant benefits from the next Combination Skill's bonus effect immediately should you want to use two back to back.
  • The spear checks for platforms the moment it is fired. As it floats roughly a platform above and behind you, it can often get stuck on the platform above you instead.
    • This can be mitigated by firing it immediately upon cast, while it is still low enough to not hit the platform above.
    • It will also ignore walls, though it will still explode at the nearest platform's height.
  • The explosion can reach up to 2 platforms high normally. After increasing its size 4 times however, it will just barely reach up to 3 platforms high.
    • The explosion's horizontal range is roughly the size of the lower blue ring effect that appears around the star symbol on impact, making it rather small even at its largest size.
  • The pulling effect at maximum size is incredibly tiny, and can hardly be noticed at all outside of enemies hit by the spear's impact, merely pulling them closer to the center.
  • The skill can serve a similar purpose to Flick Shot for Lu with the Light Trait, allowing it to grant you 4 Combination Points for 160 MP, which can prove quite helpful as MP is harder to come by on Lu than Ciel, thanks to Soul Extortion.
  • This skill will deal an extra hit in Free Training.


Trivia

  • The skill is visually identical to that of Sefirot Phantasma, this path's second Hyper Active skill, albeit much smaller and using a normal Soul Spear instead.
