In combat

  • Open fights at range with it, then close for the stagger window it creates.
  • Its resource cost is the reason the matching Ambers matter; Nephtoglobin efficiency decides uptime.
  • It also decides routes: each Transmutation opens traversal options in earlier regions.

What it opens

Treat each Transmutation as a key as well as a weapon: what it opens is often more valuable than what it damages.
