Overview

The Waker's Harmonizer is a unique Technique-scaling weapon that does not utilize Techniques, but instead utilizes its three familiars (Fredran, Wulfen, and Marmelo) to attack at various ranges. The Harmonizer has 2 stage PAs that can be altered by holding down the PA button, consuming additional PP in the process.

Fredran PAs have medium to long range attacks, while Wulfen PAs have close range attacks. Marmelo is summoned with Weapon Action, and is used to guard against attacks. Learning Harmonizer Focus unlocks separate gauges for Fredran and Wulfen that builds up when you attack with their specific PAs. Filling both of their respective gauges allows you to attack with the active skill Familiar Harmony, a core part of Waker's kit to deal a high amount of damage. Meanwhile, learning Marmelo Strike allows you to counterattack with Marmelo by throwing it at the enemy.

The Harmonizer (and Waker) can be considered mechanically demanding compared to other weapons, requiring use of its class's mechanics and PAs to deal effective damage. Its PAs are somewhat long and can leave you vulnerable at certain points, requiring some thought before using them.

Features of Harmonizer

Normal Attacks

Icon	Stat	NA1	NA2	NA3	Hold NA
	Potency	90	95	130	160
	PP Recovery	7	7	10	8

Wave the Harmonizer to summon an attack on the enemy. Holding Normal Attack produces a slightly stronger attack, mainly used to activate the skills Treble Clef Ignition and Familiar Support.

Normal Attacks

• Mainly used to restore PP.
• Can significantly increase the range of NAs by locking on an enemy.

Weapon Action

Icon	Stat	Marmelo Strike	Marmelo Strike (Stage 1)	Marmelo Strike (Stage 2)	Parry Counter
	Potency	400	800	2000	330
	PP Recovery	10	30	30	8

Summon Marmelo to guard attacks around you. Learning Marmelo Strike allows you to throw Marmelo at the enemy by holding the Weapon Action button, increasing in power for each stage of the gauge reached, out of 2 stages. Stage 1 requires 1 successful guard, and stage 2 requires 3 successful guards.

Learning Hot Marmelo Parry allows you to guard with Marmelo even while attacking; has a 10 second cooldown.
Hot Marmelo Parry Short Cooldown reduces the cooldown to 5 seconds if you do not guard an attack with it.
Marmelo Strike Tracing allows Marmelo to home in on targeted enemies.
Marmelo Patience allows you to hold Weapon Action to keep Marmelo summoned, granting super armor and reducing damage based on the skill's level. Guarding this way still counts towards Marmelo's gauge.

Marmelo Strike

• It is most effective to use Marmelo Strike at your desired gauge stage immediately after guarding an attack, as Marmelo Strike requires you to guard first before using it.
• It is not recommended to throw it without at least reaching stage 1, and is most effective to throw at stage 2 for maximum damage.
• You are vulnerable while throwing Marmelo, but you do have super armor; be wary when you consider counterattacking with it.
• Missing still consumes Marmelo's gauge.

Harmonizer Parry Counter

• Allows you to follow up a Weapon Action guard with a counter by pressing Normal Attack.
• You are invincible during the animation.

Universal Actions

Action	Potency	PP Recovery
Sidestep Attack	115	9
Sidestep Counter	230	12
Dash Attack	280	15
Dive Attack	200	0

• Sidestep Attack/Counter: After a Sidestep, press Normal Attack to summon an attack on the enemy. If you dodge an enemy's attack with Sidestep, damage and PP recovery is increased.

Pressing and holding the PA button will allow you to fly on Fredran at the cost of additional PP. Remain flying as long as the button is held down. Releasing the button will cause you to dismount as Fredran charges ahead to attack the enemy.

  • Initial PA has good range and can hit even a moving enemy quickly.
  • You can continue to rise until you are slightly above the enemy. As you rise upon using the PA, you will attack somewhat above the initial targeted area/enemy.

Wulfen Demolition

Pressing and holding the PA button will make the attack chargeable at the cost of additional PP. If you do not charge the attack, a shockwave attack will be released that lingers for a set time. If you charge the attack, Wulfen will launch a powerful attack forward.
		PP	27 (10)

• Summon Wulfen to perform an elbow bash, then a ground slam. If held, consume 10 PP to use an uncharged or charged attack with different properties. If uncharged, Wulfen will attack and leave behind a lingering field that attacks enemies. If charged for 2.5 seconds, Wulfen will roar, attacking enemies.
  • Ground slam and roar can knock down smaller enemies.
• Charge is most effective when used while an enemy is invulnerable or in a hard to hit state.
  • Otherwise, Hot Marmelo Parry can be utilized to more safely charge the PA.
• Provides super armor, and auto-Guards from the front at the beginning of the initial PA, and when releasing the charged attack.
