📊 Optimal Builds
⚔️ PvP (Main Use)
- • STR: 350 | CE: 150
- • Combo: Projection Rush → 24 FPS Strike → Frame Trap → Projection Overload
- • Bait attacks with Frame Trap for free punishes
- • Domain guarantees kill on caught opponents
- • Pair with Inverted Spear for i-frame defense
👊 PvE (Viable)
- • STR: 250 | CE: 250
- • Stack Projection Overload for AoE mob clearing
- • Use domain on bosses for unblockable damage window
- • Less efficient than dedicated PvE innates like Judgeman
- • Use chanting to buff Projection Overload
🎯 How to Get Projection Technique
Projection Technique (Naoya Zenin) is a Legendary rarity innate.
- • Main Method: Spin on the Legendary / Special Grade banner
- • Rate-up Method: Naoya Zenin featured banners (higher drop rate during limited events)
- • Spins Needed: Typically 800-2000 spins for a Legendary hit. Variance is high.
- • Pro Tip: Save spins for double-rate weekends and Naoya Zenin rate-up events
- • See the spin farming guide to maximize attempts
💡 Advanced Tips
- • Frame Trap Baiting: Dash into opponent range then immediately Frame Trap. Most players will attack on reaction — free counter.
- • Domain Confirmation: Never domain raw — confirm with Frame Trap → 24 FPS Strike stun, then activate Time Cell Moon Palace.
- • Mobility Abuse: Projection Rush has the lowest cooldown of any gap closer in the game. Use it to dodge ultimates, not just engage.
- • Matchup Weakness: Struggles against ranged/zoner innates like Shrine. Use terrain to close distance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Projection Technique better than Judgeman for PvP?
Yes — Projection Technique has higher mobility and a domain that freezes opponents, making it top-tier for PvP. Judgeman excels in PvE boss farming instead.
Can I use Projection Technique without mastering Frame Trap?
You can, but you'll be operating at ~50% effectiveness. Frame Trap is the core skill that enables the entire kit. Practice the timing against NPCs before taking it to PvP.
What equipment works best with Projection Technique?
Inverted Spear for i-frame defense, Ring of Thorns for bonus counter damage (synergizes with Frame Trap), and Eyes of Insight for faster domain recharge.
