Effect and Behavior
Deals area damage around the player with a glass-like attack pattern. Damage output increases while moving — maintaining constant movement is the key to maximizing DPS with this weapon. It synergizes specifically with Orologions (time-freeze pickups), gaining bonus output near them. It also deals additional damage against ice-type enemies and frozen enemies. Level scaling increases area coverage and base damage.
Unlocked by leveling Glass Fandango to 7 in a run. Evolution requires Ebony Wings — the weapon obtained from leveling Peachone (Pure White Dove) to level 7. Because Ebony Wings is itself a weapon, the full path to Celestial Voulge demands running two weapons simultaneously: Glass Fandango and Peachone.
Evolution Conditions
Max Glass Fandango (Lv 8), hold Ebony Wings (obtained by leveling Peachone to level 7), and open an elite-drop chest after 10:00 to trigger the union evolution into Celestial Voulge.
Acquiring Ebony Wings requires a parallel build: level Peachone to 7 during the same run. This means the full Celestial Voulge path occupies two weapon slots (Glass Fandango and Peachone) through most of the run.
Celestial Voulge Effect
After union the weapon may deal critical damage and has a chance to freeze enemies on hit. Additionally, Orologions on the field are converted into Starry Heavens — more powerful versions of the time-freeze pickup. The crit-freeze combination enables burst damage spikes against frozen enemies that exceed what either effect delivers alone.
Strengths
- Movement-based damage bonus rewards active, mobile positioning
- Unique Orologion synergy — converting time-freeze pickups into stronger Starry Heavens is a distinct tactical advantage
- Frozen and ice-type enemy bonus applies to a meaningful range of foes
- Post-union crit + freeze + Orologion conversion creates a multi-layered power system
Weaknesses
- Union requires Ebony Wings — demands a parallel Peachone-to-level-7 build consuming two weapon slots
- Stopping reduces DPS — passive or static play undermines the weapon's main scaling mechanic
- Orologion synergy is stage-dependent; stages without many clock pickups limit the bonus
- Freeze bonus is situational without ice-type enemies
Recommended Characters
- Gennaro: extra projectile count increases area attack density
- Imelda: +10% Growth speeds both Glass Fandango and Peachone to their targets faster
- Characters with movement speed bonuses: compound with the movement-based damage scaling
Recommended Passives
- Candelabrador: wider area expands surrounding attack coverage — top priority
- Spinach: +10% Might raises base damage across the attack
- Bracer: movement speed increase makes maintaining the movement bonus easier
- Clover: crit rate stacks with Celestial Voulge's crit-freeze synergy
Synergistic Arcanas
- IX Divine Bloodline: crit compounding with freeze-boosted hits for major DPS spikes
- IV Soul Eater: movement speed bonus ensures the movement-based damage scaling is consistently active
Strategy and Tips
- Early (0–10 min): Level Glass Fandango and Peachone in parallel. Always keep moving to maintain the movement damage bonus. Collect Orologions from the field to build time-freeze density.
- Mid (10–20 min): Level Peachone to 7 to get Ebony Wings. Then max Glass Fandango + hold Ebony Wings → union evolve into Celestial Voulge.
- Late (20+ min): With Celestial Voulge active, Orologions become Starry Heavens — use their converted time-stop zones to set up crit-freeze combinations. Keep moving to maintain the damage multiplier.
FAQ
Q: How do I get Ebony Wings?
A: Level Peachone (Pure White Dove) to level 7 in the same run. Plan to run Peachone alongside Glass Fandango from the start.
Q: What does the Orologion synergy actually do?
A: After evolving into Celestial Voulge, Orologions on the field convert into Starry Heavens — stronger versions of the time-stop pickup that interact with the evolved weapon's crit-freeze output.
Q: What happens if I stop moving?
A: The movement-based damage bonus drops, reducing DPS. Stay mobile — prioritize movement routes that pass through enemy clusters rather than standing still to fight.
