A Call Beyond ❘ 彼方への呼びかけ

Arcane Item

In-Game Description

    One of the secrets of the Choir.

    Long ago, the Healing Church used phantasms to reach a
    lofty plane of darkness, but failed to make contact with the
    outer reaches of the cosmos.

    The rite failed to achieve its intended purpose, but instead
    created a small exploding star, now a powerful part of the
    Choir's arsenal.
    At times, failure is the mother of invention.

Effects

  • Call Beyond can be the most damaging magic item in the game with careful use. Requires 40 points of arcane to use, and has S scaling in arcane. It consumes seven bullets per cast. When used, A Call Beyond creates a scattering of magical stars that fly away from your character Each one that hits the enemy deals a chunk of pure arcane damage.
  • At first, this spell seems very hard to control, but most of the shots do actually home-in on your lock-on target. They travel along a very wide, arcing path, though, and they'll disappear if they hit an obstacle on the way. For this reason, it's best to use this spell in wide open spaces. Low ceilings will also interfere with your shots, so make sure you have vertical clearance as well. Fortunately, most boss rooms have a wide open space where you can use this. You'll need to experiment to find the best distance to use it from Generally, casting it from near max lock-on range produces the best results. It's also better against large enemies; once again, bosses are often good targets. It does take time to cast, though, so you may have an easier time using it in co-op. Choir Bell
  • The scaling table shows how much arcane attack power each hit of A Call Beyond has. The trick is to connect with as many hits as possible for maximum damage! Hitting with up to six hits is not uncommon, so, while the number in the table is reduced by the enemy's arcane defense, single-target damage numbers higher than 2500 are possible with 99 points of arcane

Availability

  • Treasure in (Main Story): Upper Cathedral Ward; on the Grand Cathedral Walkways on path to the Altar of Despair beyond the breakable window after your battle with Celestial Emissary in Lumenflower Gardens. If you need further assistance to find the Call Beyond, you can follow the full Upper Cathedral Ward Map.

Scaling

  • Scaling determines how much additional damage a tool deals. The tool stat bonus, indicated by a letter grade of S / A / B / C / D / E, and the character's stat's current level each correspond to a percentage value. These are multiplied together and against the tool base damage to determine the bonus damage received. A Call Beyond has letter grade of S for Arcane. In the table below you will find exact (datamined) AR values for character stats.
