How to play
Empyrea - Fundamentals
Build Prayer gauge by using Normal Attacks and Pings:
24 points total for a full bar
Normal Attacks build 1 point each
Orbs pinged build 2 points each
Double tap dodge with full Prayer to enter Core Passive (Divine Prayer):
You can ping orbs up to two times in this state
One or two pings of the same color trigger a high damaging fire pillar (Purity Oath)
Two pings of different color trigger a vortex that explodes after a short time (Chaos Oath)
Pinging nothing returns to normal without spending Prayer
Each Orb pinged adds 1 Amplification stack, and 3-Pings add 4 stacks
Final damage is multiplied by the number of Amplification stacks
Press Signature Move and activate Core Passive to enter Empyreal Prayer:
You can ping orbs up to three times in this state
Ping Orbs to generate Amplification stacks, same rules as Core Passive
After all three Pings or after time runs out Time Lag Calculation is triggered and Empyrea performs Empyreal Oath
Empyreal Oath damage is also multiplied by each stack
Empyrea - Additional Information
Core Passive details:
Basic Attacks and Pings still generate Prayer even if no enemy is hit
Chaos Oath's explosion can be dodged to trigger Matrix
At Core Passive level 22 an extra Orb is generated when entering Divine Prayer
The color of the orb generated this way is chosen at random from the orbs currently available
Signature Move details:
Activating Signature Move creates 6 orbs, 3 of which will form a 3-Ping
There is enough time to use 2 to 3 orbs before activating the Core Passive
This can be useful to create 3-Pings to maximize Empyreal Oath's damage
There is enough time to do 3 Basic Attacks before activating the Core Passive, enough to generate one extra Orb
Advanced techniques:
To maximise damage it's recommended to use her Signature Move while the 10 second Amplifier class skill buff is active.
For this reason if enough energy is reached after 10 seconds it might be better to save Signature Move for when Empyrea gets switched in next
Dodging shortly after a Red Orb Ping or a Blue Orb Ping skips the animation but still does full damage
Saving 3-Pings for Core Passive / Signature Move is highly recommended, as there is no benefit to using 3-Pings instead of single orb Pings to build Prayer
