How to play

Laurel - Fundamentals

• Double 3-Pings:
  • After any 3-Ping the next orb pinged will be considered a 3-Ping
  • This bonus does not stack with Matrix Pings (entering Matrix will override the Core Passive)

• All 3-Pings fill her Core Passive gauge:
  • Each 3-Ping fills 1/4 of the gauge (15 points, 60 max)
  • Matrix Pings and the free 3-Ping provided by Laurel's Core Passive also give 15 points
  • If the gauge is full no extra points will be obtained

• Hold Basic Attack to enter Annihilation State:
  • You will get one Annihilation Orb for each 3-Ping (1 orb per 15 points)
  • Pinging Annihilation Orbs will generate a large amount of energy
  • Basic Attacks will deal Dark DMG but generate no energy
  • Each Basic Attack drains 5 points from the Core Passive gauge
  • Emptying the Core Passive gauge, swapping out or using Signature Move will exit Annihilation State

Laurel - Additional Information

• Core Passive details:
  • Annihilation Orbs can be used while doing other actions or while on the ground
  • Ending Annihilation State early will remove all unused Annihilation Orbs
  • Activating Matrix in Annihilation State will generate one Annihilation Orb
  • Exiting Annihilation State also sorts all orbs in the order of Red-Blue-Yellow

• Advanced techniques:
  • Dodging shortly after a Yellow Orb Ping skips the animation but still does full damage
  • Dodging shortly after a Red Orb Ping skips the animation but does less damage
  • Doing one basic attack before each 3-Ping allows Laurel to generate orbs while attacking
  • To maximize damage it's recommended to save Matrix until Annihilation State is activated with full gauge: four 3-Pings + 5 Annihilation Orbs with the Flamel set will fully charge Laurel's Signature Move
  • Basic attacks during Core Passive still generate orbs, the orbs however get deleted if they appear while in Annihilation State
    • Since an orb is generated every 1.5 seconds while attacking, activating Annihilation State with only 1/4 of the gauge and doing 3 basic attacks is a fast way to sort orbs while also generating them
