Energetic Strike

Increases the equipper's Anomaly Proficiency by 90. When the equipper is an Ether character, and comes on-field or uses a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, they gain a buff: DMG dealt to enemies afflicted with Attribute Anomalies increases by 20%, and all Attribute Anomaly DMG they trigger increases by 10%, lasting 15s. Repeated triggers reset the duration, and the effect is removed when switching off-field. *Stats shown are at Base level.

How to Get This W-Engine

Pull it from Signal Search using Master Tapes / Encrypted Master Tapes (bought with Polychrome) — S-rank W-Engines get their own banner, usually alongside the matching character's banner.

Trade for it at the Gadget Shop's Box Galaxy section (Sixth Street): costs W-Engine Components + W-Engine Chips + Denny; Chips come from disassembling spare W-Engines.

A handful of A/B-rank W-Engines unlock through Proxy Primer trials or as story/event rewards instead of the gacha — not every W-Engine is pullable.

Virtual or imagined, once something is truly felt, it stops being unreal. Everything a person touches in a lifetime is just a drop in the vast river of time. Still, I hope this song can carry you into a sweet delusion.

How to read this W-Engine page

Every W-Engine has 5 Refinement ranks (R1→R5): refinement ONLY strengthens the passive effect — the numbers in the table above run from left (R1, unrefined) to right (R5, max refinement via 4 duplicates or Overclock materials); Base ATK and the Advanced Stat (CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG/ATK%/PEN Ratio/Anomaly Proficiency...) do NOT change with refinement, only with the engine's level. "Best Agents for this W-Engine" prioritizes agents whose real build actually recommends this engine; if that data isn't available yet, the page falls back to agents sharing the same specialty as a rough guide. "Alternatives of the same specialty" lists other W-Engines with the same role — useful when you don't own the engine shown on this page.

Is Overclocking Angel in the Shell worth it?
