Crosslink Optic

Slot: Optic

Overview

On hit, bridges the target to the nearest other foe with a data arc and improves chain hops.

Mechanics

+1 chain hop, chain search radius ~18 tiles. -12% damage, +24% mana. Trace beams: first hit picks the nearest other enemy within ~23 tiles, spawns a data arc between them (~45% of hit damage), then triggers one standard chain hop (~55% child beam). Prism laser hits more often; data arcs only ~20% chance, but chain stats still apply.

Build tips

Dense packs turn one hit into multi-target pressure; stacks with Tesla Core and Conductor Grip at higher mana cost.
