Intergalactic Gaze (Skill)

Intergalactic Gaze is the signature skill of the Waning Redshift broadblade, activating when the wielder uses their Resonance Skill. This ability provides Resonance Energy and an ATK boost, both of which scale with the weapon’s Syntony Level (Rank). As the weapon’s rank increases, it enhances combat efficiency by improving energy regeneration and damage output.

At Rank 1, casting a Resonance Skill grants 6 Resonance Energy and increases ATK by 10% for 16 seconds, with a cooldown of 20 seconds before it can be triggered again. At Rank 2, the Resonance Energy gain increases to 7, and the ATK boost rises to 12.5%, requiring 5,000 Shell Credits for the upgrade. Rank 3 further improves these effects, granting 8 Resonance Energy and increasing ATK by 15%, while Rank 4 raises these values to 9 Resonance Energy and 17.5% ATK. Finally, at Rank 5, the weapon reaches its maximum potential, providing 10 Resonance Energy and a 20% ATK increase, maintaining the same 16-second duration and 20-second cooldown.

Increasing Waning Redshift’s Syntony Level enhances its effectiveness by improving Resonance Energy regeneration and ATK buffs, making it progressively more powerful as it is upgraded. This allows for more frequent skill usage and sustained offensive power in battle.
