Greetings, Captains! Ai-chan returns alongside the new version! Today's episode is all about the new S-rank battlesuit Helical Contraption! Read on to learn more about her!

※※※※※ Helical Contraption ※※※※※
Reverse all "purposes", subvert the "norm", forge illusions from "reality", and create miracles from the "unknown".
 

※※※※ Skill Showcase ※※※※
Helical Contraption is an S-rank QUA battlesuit dealing Fire DMG. She can summon Loud Armaments, including Revolving Gatling: Applause and Heavy Cannon: Exclamation, which constantly shoot at enemies or bombard enemies by firing powerful shells.

After casting Ultimate, Helical Contraption will drive the powerful chariot Special Weapon: No. 9 to attack by consuming all the ammo, and expand the huge Helix machines to crash enemies. When Chariot Heat Value is full, you can hold [ATK] to automatically cast Interlude Salute once. Helical Contraption will eventually unleash Finisher by driving the chariot towards enemies and blowing it up, which wraps up the grand "performance".


Basic ATK: A Gear for Every Foe
◆ Tap [ATK] or [ULT] to let Helical Contraption summon her Loud Armaments of Revolving Gatling: Applause and Heavy Cannon: Exclamation, and she will also enter Weapon Mode. Then you can tap [Weapon] to switch between different Loud Armaments.
 

Charged ATK: Cutting Room Floor
◆ While manipulating Revolving Gatling: Applause, hold [ATK] to let Helical Contraption keep shooting at enemies.
 

◆ While manipulating Heavy Cannon: Exclamation, hold/tap [ATK] to let Helical Contraption bombard enemies by firing powerful shells. While manipulating Loud Armaments, Helical Contraption takes lower Total DMG and recovers Weapon Heat Value.
 

Evasion ATK: Divining the Stars
◆ When Helical Contraption performs Ultimate Evasion, she triggers Global Time Fracture and summons Mortar Cannon: Silenced to automatically attack enemies and form a flame zone that deals Fire DMG to enemies within the range.
 

◆ In Weapon Mode, tap [EVA] to activate a shield that negates enemy ATK and deals Fire DMG to enemies. She will also trigger Ultimate Evasion Skill at the same time.
 

Ultimate: Silent Finale
◆ Helical Contraption recovers all the Loud Armaments to compose the chariot Special Weapon: No. 9, and consumes all ammo to keep shooting at enemies. When Chariot Heat Value is full, hold [ATK] to automatically cast Interlude Salute once and trigger Ultimate Evasion Skill.
 

◆ In burst mode, hold [EVA] to let Helical Contraption expand the two huge Helix machines in front of Special Weapon: No. 9 and drive the chariot to crash enemies.
 

◆ In burst mode, once SP is depleted or after tapping [ULT], Helical Contraption will unleash Finisher by driving the chariot towards enemies and blowing it up, which wraps up the grand "performance".
