While the skill fires Electric Spears like Taser Pilum, it has completely unique mechanics related to the current Force Field that are not based on the typical effects of those modes.
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.
The 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.
Each of the spears will miss a hit in Free Training.
