Trivia

  • The Silver Sickness debuff inflicted by this action is a reference to the Old status effect from Final Fantasy V.
  • It is recommended to keep Silver Sickness or Mesmerize up at all times during critical encounters and battles within the Forked Towers, as the large-scale nature of Occult Crescent battle content means that debuffs on enemies that increase damage taken will scale incredibly well compared to player-directed raid buffs.
    • While Silver Sickness and Mesmerized are mutually exclusive, Silver Sickness will not overwrite or prevent the application of Enamored (the damage reduction effect of Mesmerize). Nevertheless, as the Forked Towers more greatly benefit from Enamored than the debuffs provided by Phantom Cannoneer, Phantom Dancers are generally preferred in this context.
  • The vulnerability up debuff inflicted on the enemy stacks with Blazing Spellblade.
