This effect can trigger once every 0.5s, and repeated triggers reset the duration. At 3 stacks, the equipper's CRIT Rate increases by 6.5% *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.

Official Artwork / Lore

Countless threads of Sword Will pulse like heartbeats, echoing through this tiny stretch of sky. Just don't get too close and don't try to make sense of the world inside the cauldron with your own ears. Those echos have already been twisted into the brain melting chant of "Ehn-ne ehn-ne."

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.
