MECHANICS REFERENCE
No Attachments: Auto WSes freely at 1000 TP. No skillchain awareness — it always uses the maneuver-determined WS.
Inhibitor: Auto waits (master TP≥~900) and gains SC awareness. When closing, it picks the
highest-priority WS that can form any SC — the SC level is ignored, and maneuvers are ignored for closing.
Speedloader: Auto waits and gains SC awareness. When closing, it picks the WS producing the
highest SC level (first-match resolution). Ties are broken by SC result ordering, then priority. With both attachments, Speedloader's behavior wins.
Opening WS: With or without attachments, the automaton always opens with its maneuver-determined WS (there is no prior WS to chain with).
Maneuver rule: Max 3 active (repeats allowed). The auto uses the WS whose element has the most stacks. Ties go to the highest-priority WS. Elements not mapped to any WS on the current frame are wasted.
SC resolution: Property order matters — the first matching opener→closer property pair wins.
LEVEL 4 / ULTIMATE SKILLCHAINS
Lv4 Light ("double light"): Light (WS property
or Light skillchain) → Light-property WS = Level 4 Light.
Available to anyone, no aeonic weapon required. It closes the chain — nothing can continue off it. Same for
Lv4 Darkness ("double darkness") via Darkness → Darkness-property WS.
Radiance / Umbra (Ultimate SC): Same Light→Light / Darkness→Darkness trigger, but the Master must have
Godhands equipped with Aeonic Aftermath active when closing. Aftermath comes from using Shijin Spiral — its level depends on the TP it was used at (1000/2000/3000 TP → AM1/2/3) — and the closing WS must be at least: the 2nd WS with AM3, the 3rd WS with AM2, or the 4th WS with AM1. Below the threshold, the result is still a Lv4 double Light/Darkness — just not Radiance/Umbra. The tool works this out automatically: chains containing an earlier Shijin Spiral show as Radiance with the TP it needs; otherwise the result notes when a pre-chain Shijin would upgrade it.
Shijin Spiral bonus property: While wielding Godhands with Aftermath active, Shijin Spiral gains an extra skillchain property:
Light (on top of its normal Fusion/Reverberation). This lets Shijin Spiral itself open or close Light→Light chains.
OTHER
Weapon-gated WS: Dragon Blow requires Dragon Fangs. Maru Kala requires Varga Purnikawa. Only one weapon can be equipped at a time.
Sequence builder: Pick who acts at each step (✳ = either). Master steps can be pinned to a specific WS. Automaton WS are always determined by the game (maneuvers + attachments) — the dropdowns only ever offer WS the automaton would genuinely use, and each result explains any maneuver setup it needs.
