Weapon Mechanics
| Primary behavior | Cinematic bars slam inward and crush enemies toward center |
|---|---|
| Base cadence | 30 base damage and 5s base cooldown before run bonuses. Fire-rate and cooldown bonuses can reduce cooldown, but runtime cooldown is floored at half the base value. |
| Level scaling | Cinematic bars close the arena. L2/L4/L6/L8 add side slams, thicker bars, and a much harsher widescreen squeeze. |
| Role | Best for converting crowded screens into space; area and damage bonuses both matter. |
| Family bonus | DVD-family weapon. Counts toward Director's Shelf and often rewards movement pathing. |
| Evolution route | At Lv8, pairs with Dual Monitor Lv1 to evolve into Grand Format. |
