Rating
Holy Laser (also known as Laser Cross) is an S-tier evolved ball crafted from Laser Horizontal and Laser Vertical. The moment it lands, it fires both a horizontal and a vertical laser beam at the same time, forming a cross (+) shape that catches every enemy sharing the same row or column in a single burst.
Where each parent laser covers only one axis, Holy Laser covers both simultaneously. This doubles the potential targets per shot and makes it one of the most efficient area damage balls in the game when enemies are spread across the field.
Raw single-target damage is not Holy Laser's strength, but its cross coverage scales exceptionally well with damage-boosting passives and multi-ball strategies — every instance of the cross can hit a large portion of the enemy field.
How to Obtain
- Recipe: Laser Horizontal + Laser Vertical
Both parent lasers are strong standalone picks, so the decision to fuse them depends on your build. If you have consistent row and column coverage needs, Holy Laser is the clear upgrade.
When to Pick
- Enemies spread across multiple rows and columns simultaneously
- You want to maximize hits per shot without sacrificing fire rate
- You're running damage-amp passives that benefit from wide pierce coverage
- Boss is grouped with surrounding minions across both axes
Best Characters
| Character | Synergy | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Area-dominant builds | S | Cross coverage hits the most targets per ball |
| Damage amplifier builds | A | Passives apply across every enemy on both axes |
| Boss-targeting builds | A | Hit boss and surrounding enemies with one cross shot |
Recommended Passives
| Passive | Synergy |
|---|---|
| Laser damage up | Boosts every laser ray in the cross simultaneously |
| AOE damage increase | Multiplies damage across all enemies hit per cross |
| Pierce enhancement | Increases effective reach of both laser rays |
| Cooldown reduction | More frequent crosses increase overall output |
| Multi-ball | Multiple crosses firing simultaneously cover almost the entire field |
Tips
- Time shots when row and column are both populated — the cross hits more targets per shot than either laser alone when enemies span both axes
- Aim at the boss center — cross coverage naturally wraps in surrounding minions
- Know when the single-axis parents outperform — in stages where enemies cluster only horizontally or vertically, one parent laser may serve the same purpose more cheaply
- Stack multiples — two Holy Lasers firing stagger their crosses and essentially carpet the field each volley
TL;DR
Holy Laser merges both laser parents into a cross-shaped burst that hits all enemies on the same row and column simultaneously. S-tier, exceptional area efficiency, best with damage-amp passives and multi-ball setups.
