Recurve Option

Loliiiii edited this page Dec 16, 2019 · 9 revisions

The Recurve Option is one of the Option Types that do not follow the standard movement behavior, however it is one of upgrades from the standard Option. They are cyan and turquoise in color.

The Recurve Option is static in position, anchored on the host and relative to angle from the host towards the mouse cursor, regardless of character movement. By pressing the Option Action Key, one can adjust the spacing between each Recurve Option in order to widen or shorten the gap.

The first Recurve Option accessory's visibility icon can be toggled to determine which side the option will spawn at. This is noticeable if the host had odd-numbered Options count.

Crafting

The Recurve Options are separated into a total of 4 accessories. One may combine them to a total of just 2 as they progress through the game so they take up fewer accessory slots.

Based from the Formation Options in Gradius III, this mod also implemented the special action ability that is seen in the Spacing Options from Gradius V. They were originally from Thunder Cross.
