On a critical hit, projectile count jumps to its maximum value for that activation. Normal hits fire the standard projectile count; critical hits trigger a full burst. The higher the crit rate, the more frequently the max-burst fires — at near-100% crit rate the weapon effectively fires at maximum projectile count on every activation, dramatically multiplying DPS.

Unlocked via Ruler Sword selection or purchase from the Librarian. Union evolution requires Mannajja — the evolved form of Song of Mana — in addition to Arrow of Goth. Both must be maxed: Arrow of Goth needs to reach Lv 8, and Mannajja requires first evolving Song of Mana.

Max both Arrow of Goth (Lv 8) and Mannajja (Song of Mana evolved, Lv 8), then open an elite-drop chest after 10:00 for the Dies Irae union evolution. Building Mannajja first requires a full Song of Mana evolution run alongside Arrow of Goth.

Dies Irae Effect

After evolution, Alamaric Snipers rain arrows down on enemies. On critical hits, even more arrows fall — the crit synergy extends through to the evolution, making crit-stacking builds the natural progression path.

• Crit-stacking builds directly convert crit rate into projectile burst frequency and DPS
• Near-100% crit rate approaches constant maximum projectile output
• Post-evolution crit-triggered arrow rain devastates dense enemy clusters
• Accessible unlock path through Ruler Sword or Librarian purchase

• Low crit rate makes max-burst rare, leaving the weapon underperforming
• Union evolution costs two weapon slots (Arrow of Goth + Song of Mana path)
• Song of Mana must be evolved into Mannajja before union — a meaningful pre-condition
• Non-crit activations fire standard projectile counts, creating damage variance

• Characters with crit bonuses: every extra crit % directly increases max-burst frequency
• Imelda: +10% Growth speeds both weapons to max level faster
• Gennaro: extra projectile count raises even the non-crit baseline

• Crit-rate raising passives: directly increase burst frequency — top priority
• Spinach: +10% Might raises damage on both crit bursts and normal activations
• Candelabrador: wider area extends arrow range and post-evolution rain coverage
• Duplicator: extra projectile count raises the non-crit baseline

• IX Divine Bloodline: amplifies crits themselves, maximizing the value of each max-burst activation
• XI Celestial Dusting: crit rate bonus pushes max-burst frequency higher

• Early (0–10 min): Level Arrow of Goth and Song of Mana simultaneously. Secure crit-boosting passives early — even moderate crit rate makes a visible difference in burst frequency.
• Mid (10–20 min): Evolve Song of Mana into Mannajja, then max both → Dies Irae union. The arrow rain on crit immediately shines against enemy clusters.
• Late (20+ min): Full crit build makes Dies Irae's arrow rain near-constant. Stack Candelabrador to widen the rain coverage area.

Q: How do I unlock Arrow of Goth?
A: Via Ruler Sword selection or purchase from the Librarian (in-stage shop).

Q: How do I build Mannajja for the union evolution?
A: Max Song of Mana (Lv 8) with the required passive item and open an elite chest after 10:00 to evolve it into Mannajja. Then max Arrow of Goth alongside Mannajja for the Dies Irae union.

Q: Does the weapon underperform without high crit rate?
A: Yes — the max-burst mechanic is entirely crit-dependent. Without meaningful crit rate, Arrow of Goth fires standard counts and the weapon's core advantage never activates. Building toward high crit is mandatory for this weapon.
