Crystal Wave

Crystal Wave is a Power for Nina. It fires directly forwards, dealing 1 damage on hit and freezing the target in crystal for 3 seconds. Additionally, the projectile pierces enemies. When frozen, an enemy can be used as a platform and takes 50% extra damage from all sources. Bosses cannot be frozen without the Unyielding Wave Power Aug, with the exception of Hoot Omega.

Power Fusions
Crystal Wave's fusion effect is Freeze; this usually reduces the damage of all powers it is fused with, instead giving them a utility function such as platform creation or freezing enemies.
 * Zen Mortar
 * 15 NRG cost.
 * Fires a crystal that splits into numerous shards when it either hits a wall or the button is pressed again.
 * The initial shot does 4.0x Power Strength, and the shards deal 2.0x Power Strength.
