Tips and Details

The Sparrow Factory is considered a summoned unit for Mecha Generator, and it can be killed. The individual Sparrows are not.
- Allies can pass through the factory, while enemies cannot.
- The summoned unit can be used to deal with certain boss patterns that require standing still in a specific spot, ex. Rosso's Time Bomb in Elrianode Training Grounds.
- It can also be utilized to prevent an enemy from charging at you, although it might get destroyed first.
Each Sparrow is capable of dealing 3~4 hits per second.
- Due to its dynamic path-finding, the hit count massively varies between casts, even from the same spot or if summoned directly on top of an enemy so the Sparrows start hitting as soon as they possibly can.
- As all the Sparrows will explode the moment the factory itself expires, the earlier ones summoned will do more hits over the course of the skill than the later ones, as they will have been active for longer.
- On average, regardless of where it is summoned, the Sparrows will hit about 125 times, though hit counts of over 200 are possible. Naturally, larger bosses will have an easier time connecting more hits.
Only the first hit of each Sparrow will provide hitstun in PvE. In PvP, none of the hits apply hitstun.
The skill can easily attack enemies across the entire map, though it needs at least one enemy nearby for the Sparrows to start tracking in the first place.
If this skill is reused while the first factory is still active, the first factory will be destroyed.
In PvP, the summoned Sparrows will have their homing range approximately halved.

Trivia

This skill is based on the DFO shared Mechanic skill Sparrow Factory.
