Photon Blasts

A Mag with three Photon Blasts

Photon Blasts are special attacks performed by a Mag by unleashing its power built up over time. They can be used after a Mag is level 10 and learns its first Photon Blast, and the player has built the Photon Blast gauge by dealing and receiving damage. Once the player has built to 100%, the Photon Blast can be unleashed by pressing the appropriate face button on the alternate palette; any other actions on the alternate palette will be temporarily unavailable.

A Mag can learn up to 3 different Photon Blasts, learning another Photon Blast at 35, and potentially a third at level 50 if the Photon Blast of the newly evolved Mag has not been learned previously. If the Mag does not learn a Photon Blast at level 50, it may learn another one if it evolves into another Mag that has a Photon Blast not previously learned.

Received damage	(Damage taken * 20.0) / (character level * 15.0)

Mylla & Youlla

Also referred to as Twins, this photon blast casts Shifta and Deband on the party, as well as reviving any dead team members that donated to the photon blast chain. The level of Shifta and Deband applied scales based off the IQ of the mag that initiates the photon blast chain.

At max IQ:

Shifta/Deband Level = 1 + (Photon blasts in chain * 20) + (PB donated * 3/10)

Estlla

Fires a dolphin damaging enemies in front of the user. Scales off EVP and Sync.

Pilla

Deals damage in a circle around the user. Scales off ATP and Sync.
