  • Electron attacks can pierce and will home in on enemies.
  • Beam attacks will be converted into multiple homing spears.


Tips and Details

  • Any affected attacks will also suffer a decrease in MP regeneration, but the projectiles will have increased range.
  • Once you unlock this passive, El Crystal Spectrum will only do its activation animation when used initially, and changing modes occurs instantly instead, including in midair. This also means no more hitstun can be dealt past the initial cast however.
  • When targets are not within homing range, the homing projectiles will scatter out randomly.
  • For any projectiles that gain piercing properties due to this skill, the range it can travel is based on where it last hit an enemy.
    • For example, if the range of the attack is 700, and it hits an enemy far into its range, the next enemy it can home into can be anywhere within 700 of the location of that enemy, significantly extending a skill's reach.


Trivia

Reactive Mode special icon.
  • In NA, Induction Mode is renamed to Reactive Mode.
  • The icon that appears when switching to Reactive Mode has a caption saying "Induction Mode. System All Green".
