Tips and Details

Non-super armor enemies are pushed significantly by this skill, which may cause a loss of hits, especially in the case of Spectrum mode.
The skill's final hit will launch enemies, though in Reactive and Fusion mode the homing hits have a chance of catching the enemy again by themselves.
As this skill generates its own force field, you can change the trajectory of the beam with the up and down keys without El Crystal Spectrum.
- The force field counts for Ultra Optical Investigation's Critical Rate and Maximize bonuses (and they will apply even to the beam prior to the field), but not for Code: Recovery - Breaker.
- The force field will have no effect on any other skills such as Energy Needles.
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.
Since force fields from El Crystal Spectrum appear between you and the large force field from the skill itself, it is possible for you to deal field-enhanced damage with the beam prior to it passing the large field. Ensure you are standing far enough away so enemies are behind the larger field.
When using Spectrum mode, it is actually possible to, with very precise positioning (and not consistently), to deal both the pre-field damage and the spectrum pre-field damage for a total of 12 + 36 hits. This is not actually more damage however, since these hits occur prior to the large force field.
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.
- 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 17,118% (5,508% in PvP) Magical Damage while Awakened, with the Heavy trait and in Fusion mode, making it slightly better than Spectrum mode for single targets.
