Tips and Details

  • Nasod Scout, Oberon, and Ophelia are all able to cast an electronball. Ferdinand cannot, however.
    • A summon will always fire the same amount of electron balls as you do, so if you fire 2 due to [Enhanced], the summon will as well.
    • With all three summons active, the maximum total of electron balls fire is 4, or 8 with [Enhanced].
    • In PvP, the electron balls fired by summoned units can only deal 1/3 of their normal damage.
  • The skill acts very similarly to normal electron ball commands, but due to being an active skill, it can be thrown out at any point during a normal command combo.
    • Like normal electron balls, this skill also deals two hits; an initial hit that only damages the first enemy it comes into contact with and a second hit that deals splash damage to any enemy within range. A delay before casting is also present so if you are hit, the cast will be canceled and the skill will go on cooldown, though no MP will be consumed
    • Due to its larger size, the electron ball's explosion hit can hit behind certain enemies it comes into contact with, allowing it to bypass certain shielded enemies.
  • You can charge the skill while it is still on cooldown, allowing you to use it fully charged when it comes off cooldown later.
  • The charge can be dissipated at no MP cost by releasing the skill key during attack animations where it will fail to deploy. (Ex. >>^Z, ^Z, ^X, >>X, >>^X)
    • Additionally, upon reaching 3rd job, switching to the additional skill slot will also cancel the charge.
  • The skill's hitstun is rather low, so enemies may be able to escape a combo sometimes.
  • Compared to Mega Electron Ball: Overpower and Mega Electron Ball: Flash, this skill has the most range when charged, but it has less damage than a charged Overpower and travels slower than Flash.
    • This is also the only one of the three where the Regenerating (2) trait only lowers the cooldown to 60% instead of 40%.
    • The lack of damage compared to Overpower is more than made up for by the fact that this is the only path with more than 1 summon. Additionally, with Electron Upgrade, this version also has a faster (instant) charge time compared to Flash.
  • If the [Enhanced] effect triggers and you have all 3 summons out, the skill can deal a maximum total of 11,272% (2,252% in PvP) Physical Damage. With Empowered, it can deal a total of 13,526.4% (2,702.4% in PvP) Physical Damage.
