*While it looks like the beam appears instantly, it actually travels forward quickly, resulting in it losing hits the further away an enemy is. At max range, including the range increase from a Level 4 [[Spectrum Dynamics]], the skill will only deal 7 hits total. Positioning the skill so enemies are directly behind the large field is advised for maximum damage. | *While it looks like the beam appears instantly, it actually travels forward quickly, resulting in it losing hits the further away an enemy is.

*When | *When an enemy overlaps with the large field or any [[El Crystal Spectrum]] fields, it will take damage interchangeably from either section of the skill: | ||
**In Normal mode, an enemy overlapping with the large field will take 6 hits from both sides. | |||
**In Amplify mode, an enemy overlapping with either one of the fields, but not both, will take 6 hits from both sides in respect to the field they overlap. An enemy that overlaps both will take 4/5/3 hits from before either field, after the normal field, and after both fields respectively. | |||
**In Spectrum mode, an enemy overlapping with the large field will take 18 hits from both sides. An enemy overlapping with the normal field will take 6 hits before the field, and 30 hits after the field, though for some reason, every other use of the skill will actually cause the enemy to take both sides fully, 36 hits after the field and 12 hits before the field. This is still slightly less damage than simply landing the skill after both fields however, despite the extra hits. | |||
*When using '''Reactive''' or '''Fusion''' mode, if an enemy is between the large field and you, they will typically take 2 additional pre-field damage hits, and rarely one or both of these 2 additional hits will cause more homing projectiles to show up, raising the max hit count to 66. Using the skill point blank during these modes is thus entirely beneficial. | *When using '''Reactive''' or '''Fusion''' mode, if an enemy is between the large field and you, they will typically take 2 additional pre-field damage hits, and rarely one or both of these 2 additional hits will cause more homing projectiles to show up, raising the max hit count to 66.

**For some reason, in either of these modes, standing with your back to an enemy causes the pre-field beam to deal damage to the enemy directly behind you as if it's already passed through the Reactive/Fusion field, dealing 10/30 additional hits. These hits are relatively weak, as they do not gain the large field's bonus from the skill itself. The most damage this skill can do using this trick is {{formatnum:{{#expr: ((317*0.25*30) + (634*0.25*60))*1.44}}}}% ({{formatnum:{{#expr: ((102*0.25*30) + (204*0.25*60))*1.44}}}}% in PvP) Magical Damage while Awakened, with the '''Heavy''' trait and in '''Fusion''' mode, making it slightly better than '''Spectrum''' mode for single targets. | **For some reason, in either of these modes, standing with your back to an enemy causes the pre-field beam to deal damage to the enemy directly behind you as if it's already passed through the Reactive/Fusion field, dealing 10/30 additional hits.
