Have you ever used this one?

I think it'd also be worth mentioning that the last of the three multiplier upgrades is the 1.2x bomb meter refill, where you get a boost to how quickly your bombs refill when absorbing energy, just to be able to compare them.

So the 1.2x guard It decreases how much your guard meter goes down as you absorb energy, so you actually get a hidden boost to how long you can guard before your meter seems to run out.

Which is, it's handy! Don't get me wrong.

But the 1.2x attack boost, I don't know if it applies to bombs, but it definitely applies to the homing shots you fire whenever you absorb energy, and that is extremely useful.

Because you want to be firing those out as much as possible, and doing more damage with those is tremendously useful versus... holding onto your guard for longer, because you can manage your guard meter better and not have to worry about it running out.

You can't easily kill stuff more quickly without slotting the attack times 1.2 into your equipment loadout.

It has a wider beam and it does more damage.
