Freezes enemies 0 Flat Damage 10 Energy Cost

Crystal Wave is a Power for Nina, Vika and Delta. It fires directly forwards, dealing 0 damage on hit and freezing the target in crystal for 3 seconds. Additionally, the projectile pierces enemies. When frozen, an enemy can be used as a platform and takes 1.5x damage from all sources. Bosses cannot be frozen without the Unyielding Wave Power Aug, with the exception of Hoot Omega.

Power Fusions

Crystal Wave's fusion effect is Freeze; this usually reduces the damage of all powers it is fused with, instead giving them a utility function such as platform creation or freezing enemies.

• Zen Mortar (Splintercrystal)
  • 10 NRG cost.
  • Fires a crystal that splits into nine shards when it either hits a wall or the button is pressed again.
  • The initial shot does 50 base damage, and the shards deal 20 base damage.
• Aiming Gear (Aiming Crystal)
  • 8 NRG cost.
  • Fires a crystal in any of eight directions that can freeze a single enemy on contact, dealing 20 base damage.
  • If this would defeat an enemy, it keeps on travelling.
  • If this hits a wall, it will create a small block that lasts about 3 seconds.
• Rending Whirl (Crystal Torrent)
  • 10 NRG cost.
  • Fire a triad of crystals up and down, dealing 40 base damage each.
  • The crystals will pass through walls and defeated enemies.
• Crushing Void (Crystal Burst)
  • 25 NRG cost.
  • The player will pause for a moment then freeze every enemy within a large radius around her.
  • The freezing blast will deal no damage.
• Negation Pulse (Crystal Pulse)

  • A smaller Crystal Wave that homes in, freezing a single enemy without piercing or damaging it.

  • Conjures a ridable ice block that slowly travels forwards. It does no damage, but can freeze the first enemy it hits.
  • Lasts for a few seconds before breaking apart.
