Crystal Explosive Unit

The Crystal Explosive Unit is a high-end explosive component made by inducing resonance in Casimir Crystals, greatly amplifying their destructive force through a chain-reaction-like effect over a small area. It is the top tier of explosives and serves as the main material for Gravity Missile Set and Crystal Shell Set. It can also be used as fuel by Icarus.

In combat, this item is associated with extremely high damage output. Both of its ammunition applications are powerful enough to destroy even the strongest Dark Fog ground units in one or two hits without additional upgrades. Its thrown explosive power is also enhanced to 2.3 times that of Explosive Unit. However, that strength comes with a severe cost: the production line is complex, and it requires Casimir Crystal, which is both highly demanded and difficult to produce.

Because of that expense and complexity, Crystal Explosive Unit is usually most practical in the late game, after the mission is completed and the player begins farming Dark Fog for items. At that stage, its overwhelming damage can justify the investment, but before then it is generally too costly to be a routine ammunition choice.

• Used to craft Gravity Missile Set and Crystal Shell Set
• Can be consumed as fuel by Icarus
• Requires Casimir Crystal, making it expensive and production-intensive
• Best suited to late-game combat and item-farming setups
• Its explosive power is far beyond Explosive Unit, but its cost limits mass use
