Red Text
Mwahahah...hehehe
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
When thrown, a “floating skull” that chases enemies and shoots appears as a grenade. Order’s Legendary, which flies slowly in an arc, bounces off walls, homes in on enemies to fire lasers, and finally explodes on impact. A whimsical throw derived from the event “Horrors of Kairos”.
🧩 Red text source “Mwahahah…hehehe” is the onomatopoeia of a villain’s maniacal laugh itself. Skull + Halloween event “Horrors of Kairos” drop context, providing a classic villain laugh flavor (wordplay/atmosphere). No primary source confirming a specific work or character quote has been found, so the external source is (unverified) (will be added if identified).
What kind of grenade? (Beginner’s perspective)
- When thrown, a slowly flying skull (skull) in an arc appears
- The skull bounces off walls while homing on enemies and shoots lasers from its eyes (each 35% kinetic splash)
- On enemy impact it explodes (100% kinetic splash)
- When thrown it automatically searches for enemies and attacks = placed & auto-homing throw
Unique Effects (Mechanics)
Accursed (cursed): When thrown, it flies slowly in an arcing trajectory, bouncing off walls while homing on enemies and firing (each 35% kinetic splash). On enemy impact it explodes (100% kinetic splash).
- In-game: Accursed — the skull that moves toward enemies fires lasers
- Web (Lootlemon): When thrown, slowly flies in an arcing trajectory, bouncing off surfaces while homing in on an enemy and shooting at them, each shot dealing 35% Kinetic Splash. On enemy impact, it explodes for 100% Kinetic Splash.
- Element is fixed Kinetic (no element roll)
- Weakness: slow flight so instant effect is low. Suited for playstyles that rely on homing
