Forbidden Secret Manual (II) is needed to unlock this skill, available through the Power of Transcendence Skill Quest or Item Mall.

The damage of the spears will decay in intervals as they travel. Each interval will deal 2, 1, and 2 hits, respectively, on most medium sized targets, assuming they are the only target and the skill was used at a slight distance away from point blank.
While Energy Needles does not create its own force field, the spears can react to fields summoned by other sources.
- When the skill passes through any field, it will no longer have damage decay, making all the fields vastly increase total damage dealt.
- This skill does not suffer from reduced damage in Reactive mode, making that field essentially just remove the damage decay at no other benefit or penalty.
- In Fusion mode, the damage is only reduced to 50% instead of 25%, essentially obsoleting Spectrum mode as there are no further differences between the two.
- One of the easiest methods of ensuring most if not all needles are affected by a field is by holding Sweep Rolling.
Transcendence buff only increases the damage of the first needle fired.
Any electric needles created will gain the effects of Code: Recovery - Breaker only if the buff is in effect.
- Using Code: Recovery - Breaker after casting Energy Needles will affect the newly created electric needles.
- If the buff expires while there are still electric needles being created, newly created electric needles will not gain the buff effects.
