Awakening Effect: Brains and Brawn

Awakening Effect: activates when entering Awakening mode at 50% HP or less.

Chasers

Battle Mage generates orbs that float behind her called Chasers when successfully hitting opponents with or attacks, or by holding 5M while no Chasers are available.

Chasers are automatically consumed to power up 623M or used as projectiles with 6S and 5M.

Using Chasers for any of the above purposes will temporarily increase Battle Mage's damage and movement speed.
