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.
