How to Use the Resonator Blast Skill

Energize your spear by using Light and Heavy attacks until the spear's glow turns blue.

Energize your target by hitting them with a Heavy attack.

Trigger the Resonator Blast using a bow and arrow.

1. Energize your spear

The spear's glow turns from purple to blue when the spear is energized. Keep hitting the target with Light (R1) and Heavy (R2) attacks to energize your spear. Take note that attack combos build up energy faster.

2. Energize your target

Once your spear has been energized, transfer the energy onto the target by hitting the target with a Heavy (R2) attack using the spear. The energized target will have a blue glow on their affected body part.

3. Trigger the Resonator Blast using a bow and arrow

To trigger the Resonator Blast, switch to a bow, aim at the target's energy point (the blue glow), and then shoot an arrow at the target.

Landing the shot on the energy point creates a huge blast and deals high damage on the target.
