What is Duplication?

Scarlet Nexus - Duplication

Duplication creates a copy of the object that you manipulate using Psychokinesis. This allows you to deal double damage, which breaks shells with ease.

How to Use Duplication

Assign Kyoka Eden

Characters That Use Duplication

To equip Duplication as one of your SAS Skills, assign Kyoka Eden on the SAS Tab of the pause screen. You can equip a total of 4 SAS Skills in your party, and you can use the skills of inactive party members.

Use to Break Shells

Duplication is an SAS skill that can break enemy Shells, allowing you to deal more damage. This is effective against enemies like the Wither Sabbat and the Barrista Santa, which have strong Shells.

Lower Crush Gauge Faster

More objects being hurled at enemies will make their crush gauges deplete faster. Use Duplication in conjunction with Electrokinesis to make every enemy easy to Brain Crush.

Increased Damage Output

Duplication will also cause clones of yourself to appear beside you, thus increasing the damage you deal with physical attacks.

Duplication Skill Levels

Duplication has the following Skill Levels that can be unlocked after increasing your Bond Level with Kyoka.

Level Description
1 Duplication
2 Increase SAS Recovery Speed & Guardian Vision
3 Duplication & Combo Vision
4 Assault Vision
5 Prolong SAS Effect & Extra Duplication
6 Psychokinesis Re-Acceleration

Extra Duplication

Extra Duplication

Extra Duplication makes two extra copies of yourself to fight alongside you when Duplication SAS is active increasing your attack damage by a lot.

Enhance Duplication

Enhance Duplication

Enhance Duplication allows you to throw three objects all at the same time with Psychokinesis, providing a big damage boost.

Duplication Tips

Use Alongside Other SAS Abilities

Duplication is a very valuable skill to use alongside other SAS Abilities to multiply their effects. In particular, using Pyrokinesis or Electrokinesis alongside Duplication enhances their effects, inflicting more damage against enemies that consequently brings fights to a close much faster.

Assassinate Enemies Much Faster

Sneaking up behind enemies while using Invisibility is one of the most powerful ways to open up battle against enemies. The effects of it however are lessened when fighting against stronger enemy types during the game's late-game.

Using Duplication alongside Invisibility when going in for an assassination will help to multiply the amount of damage you can dish out against unsuspecting enemies, which can either eliminate them on the spot or allow you to deplete their Crush Gauge much faster on a successful hit.
