Optical Shot fires two penetrating projectiles simultaneously with each activation. Both projectiles pass through all enemies in their path, dealing damage to every target along the line. The Chinese name 光暗射击 ("light-dark shot") reflects the dual nature of the two simultaneous beams.

• Fires 2 penetrating projectiles per activation
• Each projectile pierces through all enemies it contacts — no stopping on first hit
• Amount increases the number of projectile pairs fired per activation, multiplying total damage
• Most effective when enemies form lines or clusters that the projectiles can pass through

Hold Caroma's Mana, level Optical Shot to MAX, then open a treasure chest after 10:00 (evolved form name to be confirmed).

Securing Caroma's Mana mid-game prevents missing the evolution window.

• Dual simultaneous penetrating shots deal significant damage against multiple lined-up enemies in a single activation
• Amount scaling multiplies the number of projectile pairs — each extra pair linearly increases total DPS
• Penetration makes the weapon efficient against dense enemy formations and corridors
• Bracer (projectile speed) effectively extends range and contact time against slow enemies

• Fixed or limited firing direction means scattered enemies are harder to hit consistently
• Damage potential is lower in open areas with sparse, spread-out enemies
• Unlocking requires 2,000 kills with Albus — a dedicated farming run is often necessary
• Against single close-range targets, melee weapons typically deliver better damage efficiency

Albus, who is required to unlock Optical Shot, is the most natural fit. Wide-open stage layouts where enemies naturally funnel into lines or clusters amplify the penetrating dual-shot advantage.

The key to maximizing Optical Shot is creating situations where the projectile lines pass through multiple enemies. Adjust your position relative to enemy movement so they naturally funnel into the beam paths — enemies that march in columns are ideal targets.

Duplicator is the highest-value investment: each extra projectile pair from Amount is equivalent to adding another fully-powered Optical Shot activation, making it more cost-effective than raw Might increases at high amounts.

Stacking Bracer alongside Amount creates a field of fast-moving, high-density penetrating beams that sweep across enemy formations, achieving outstanding zone coverage in the mid and late game.

Q. Is getting 2,000 kills with Albus time-consuming? A. Picking a stage with high enemy density and running a dedicated farming run makes it manageable. Once unlocked, Optical Shot becomes available for all characters.

Q. What does "penetrating" mean exactly? A. Normal projectiles stop on the first enemy they hit. Penetrating projectiles pass through enemies without stopping, hitting every target along the flight path. This makes them exceptionally efficient against densely grouped enemies.

Q. Do both projectiles fire in the same direction? A. Both fire simultaneously, but they may travel at slightly offset angles or positions. This spread means the combined width of coverage is wider than a single projectile — useful for catching enemies just off the direct center line.
