Call and Response

When you use an instrument above the note threshold, create an afterimage that plays that instrument after a delay.

 Required Notes: 3

 Delay: 10.5½ second

— In-game description

Mechanics

• When using one of your instruments, it will create an afterimage that functions similarly to a phantasm, only attacking or using its ability in range.
  • Requires an enemy target for the afterimage to be created.
• Afterimages count as illusions, but not clones or phantasms, for the purposes of skills and traits.

Bug:

Afterimage does NOT inherit bonuses from traits such as  Master of Fragmentation.
