Ace using Dolomite Link

Dolomite Link is a Technique for Ace, Jest and Delta, obtained by defeating Lethal Tempo. When used, the player shoots out a grappling wire directly forwards. If the wire connects with an enemy, wall or attackable switch, the player will be pulled directly into it, exploding on collision and launching them upwards. This deals 20 base damage, gaining either an additive 20% damage per additional point of jump strength, or an additive 10% per additional point of power strength, whichever would give a higher boost. Upon a successful grapple, the player becomes immune to melee damage while moving, and becomes immune to all damage for half a second upon colliding with the enemy or wall.

Strategies

• The invulnerability from the Technique does not last long, so be careful when grappling into enemies which fire projectiles or release projectiles on death.
• Acquiring Zookeeper's March severely increases the damage of Dolomite Link, causing it to deal 60 damage, unless the player's power strength is greater than +20. If the player also has Resonant Boots, the damage goes up all the way to 100 damage.
