Tips and Details

  • While each individual cluster can deal up to 7 hits, multiple explosions cannot deal damage to the same enemy simultaneously.
    • On large, unmoving enemies with one continuous hitbox, this results in each further cluster only dealing 2 additional hits, as the previous 5 land at the same time as the last 5 of the cluster preceding it.
    • If an enemy moves through the drop zone quickly however, or there are a varying amount of platforms below where you cast it from, more (or less) missiles of each cluster can potentially deal damage. Theoretically speaking, the skill can thus hit with every single missile of each wave, though this is not realistically viable.
  • Mecha Drop will follow the curves of a map, but it may find itself traveling off the map quite often due to the large gap between each cluster's spawn point, even on very weak curves.
  • Enemies on top of platforms will only take damage if they are close enough to where the missiles land, as they will only explode on contact with the ground.
  • The clusters will slightly lift hit targets.
    • Due to the strength of their hitstuns, they are capable of skipping certain boss mechanics or keep a boss in place consistently, which can be noted when facing Herbaon that will not teleport when hit by this skill.

NA

  • Where the Land Runners explode is heavily influenced by your character's size.
    • Using the skill while under the effects of a Dwarf's Potion, Blue Mystic Flask or the like currently causes the skill to pass through floors and one platform instead of exploding on contact with the ground on the same height as the caster.
    • While being under any effect that increases your body size instead, such as Fighter Potion or Natal Chart, the Land Runners will explode a platform above the caster.


Trivia

  • While at first glance the skill has nothing to do with any Land Runners, despite the icon showing a falling Land Runner and the description mentioning them specifically, the robots are actually attached to the side of the missiles that the plane drops.
  • When cast, a shadow of an aerial bomber can be seen passing through.
