Fleuret carries an inverted Speed mechanic: rather than affecting movement or projectile velocity as it does for most weapons, the Speed stat converts into a damage multiplier. Each point of Speed raised via passives or arcanas increases the damage output of Fleuret's attacks. This makes Speed-stacking passives disproportionately effective here compared to other weapons.

Glimmers activate the Crystalline Carve tech — a distinct powerful hit separate from normal attack output. Fleuret requires no passive item as evolution material; reaching max level (Lv 8) alone triggers self-evolution into Fibonacci Spritz, leaving all passive slots free for damage and utility.

Max Fleuret (Lv 8) and open an elite-drop chest after 10:00 to trigger self-evolution into Fibonacci Spritz. No additional passive item is required.

• Speed as damage multiplier: stacking Speed via Bracer provides much higher damage returns than on conventional weapons
• No evolution material required — all passive slots stay free for other upgrades
• Crystalline Carve tech adds burst damage potential on glimmer procs
• Fibonacci Spritz evolution opens the cross-weapon trigger mechanic

• Speed-to-damage mechanic requires understanding to build optimally
• Crystalline Carve tech only fires on glimmers — not reliably controllable
• Initial acquisition requires finding it in a run
• Post-evolution, Fibonacci Spritz needs External Interferer for its next evolution

• Imelda: +10% Growth reaches max level faster, getting Fibonacci Spritz sooner
• High-Speed characters: Speed's damage multiplier function makes base Speed bonuses directly valuable for attack output
• Multi-weapon characters: Fibonacci Spritz's cross-weapon trigger grows in value with more strong weapons equipped

• Bracer: Speed increase converts to damage multiplier — directly amplifies Fleuret's attack output (top priority)
• Spinach: +10% Might multiplies with Speed's damage modifier for compounding per-hit damage
• Duplicator: Amount increase raises simultaneous output
• Wings: additional Speed stacking further amplifies the damage multiplier

• IX Divine Bloodline: crit compounding on Crystalline Carve tech and standard hits raises DPS
• XX Silent Old Sanctuary: Speed bonus directly amplifies damage multiplier

• Early (0–10 min): Level Fleuret and grab Bracer early — Speed's damage multiplier effect means Bracer is a higher priority here than on most other weapons. All passive slots are available for damage since no evolution material slot is consumed.
• Mid (10–20 min): Reach Lv8 and open a post-10:00 elite chest for self-evolution into Fibonacci Spritz. Speed stacked during the Fleuret phase carries over as movement speed for mobility.
• Late (20+ min): Operate as Fibonacci Spritz — the spiral spray weapon with cross-weapon trigger. Secure External Interferer if available for the next evolution step.

Q: How do I unlock Fleuret?
A: Find it in a run, level it to max, and fully evolve it — after completing the evolution, it becomes consistently available in subsequent runs.

Q: Why does Speed increase Fleuret's damage?
A: Fleuret has a weapon-specific mechanic that converts Speed into a damage multiplier instead of applying it as movement or projectile speed. Bracer and Speed-boosting arcanas directly raise attack output on Fleuret in a way they do not for most other weapons.

Q: Does Fleuret need a passive item to evolve?
A: No — it self-evolves at max level (Lv 8) when an elite-drop chest is opened after 10:00. All passive slots remain free throughout the Fleuret phase.
