Spear Bomb

A combat technique wherein Gail funnels energy into her spear to transform it into an explosive missile. With spear equipped, hold Y until the spear glows. Then release to throw! A charged spear can be detonated in midair with X.

### Requirement

2 Ouroboros Scrolls
Sonic Spear

### Effect

Allows charging the Sonic Spear to make it explosive

*Not to be confused with Ki Spear Technique Scroll, a technique with similar effect in Phoenotopia.*

**Spear Bomb** is a Special Technique in *Phoenotopia: Awakening*. It allows Gail to charge up the Sonic Spear to make it deals more damage with fiery and explosive properties.

## Description

Grip the spear tightly to focus one's energy to charge it up. The glow on it indicates that it has been converted into a more destructive variant! This energy-infused projectile explodes upon impact with a foe, but can also be remotely detonated mid-flight. Since the explosive Ki energy comes from Gail herself, it will not harm her like other explosives do!

## Where to obtain

With Birdy ousted, Atri has taken to preside over the tribe as the interim leader. In Gail's revisit to the Ouroboros Hideout, Atri informs her about the valued Ouroboros Scrolls housed in the shrines across the world, and promises to reward Gail for each pair of scrolls retrieved.

Upon retrieving the first pair of Ouroboros Scrolls, Gail is rewarded with a lesson on the Spear Bomb technique, provided she has already obtained the Sonic Spear prior. Otherwise, Atri would tell Gail to return after having done so, and expressed her regrets in not being able to teach Gail a bat technique instead.

## How to perform

With the Sonic Spear equipped, Gail can charge up her spear by holding the Y button. When the spear starts glowing, it indicates that the spear has been infused with Gail's own Ki energy to become explosive. Upon detonated, whether manually by pressing X or automatically when coming into contact with solid objects or enemies, the spear explodes and shoots two fiery projectiles vertically.

Compared to the base damage of 13 from Sonic Spear, Spear Bomb deals 6 fire damage for each vertical projectile on top of the 20 explosive damage from the spear itself. If all hits connect, this at least doubles the damage output against enemies with defense 8 or lower, which include almost all of them.

Taking into account of certain enemies with explosion and/or fire weakness, and the fact that the explosion from it would not damage Gail (unlike that of Bombs and Kobold Blaster), Spear Bomb is considered by many to be the most powerful among Gail's arsenal, especially when used in conjunction with Concentrate.

## Trivia

* Spear Bomb functions similarly to the Ki Spear Technique Scroll from *Phoenotopia*, with a few key differences that makes this more powerful.
	+ The additional fiery projectiles allow stunning flying enemies more easily.
	+ More enemies in *Phoenotopia: Awakening* now have explosion weakness, and can be defeated in one hit with Spear Bomb.
	+ Spear Bomb can be detonated manually without halting Gail's movement.
* The fiery projectiles from Spear Bomb is one of the four ways players can kindle a campfire. Other methods include hitting a flint, cranking the Refurbished Crank Lamp, activating the thrusters from the Rocket Boots.
