• Releases one projectile when uncharged, 3 when charged.
  • The listed power assumes all 3 charged projectiles hitting one target.
• Each projectile can do one hit per mob per "pass". Each direction change of the projectile enables it to do one more hit per mob.
  • The projectile "turns" after a fixed time
  • The maximum duration of each charged projectile is 15 seconds.
  • The maximum number of "passes" is 14 times.
• None of the projectiles disappear early unless they hit a wall or the user.
• The max range of each projectile is about 30M in a straight line. Uncharged, the projectile travels about 75% of that (22-23M).
  • This makes the default projectile speed about 30 when charged

• Charged is 34% x 3, or 102% of the given power.
  • Uncharged power is 50% of the given power.
• Lifts enemies up into the air (those that can be lifted). Causes them to be in a knockdown state too, if they are lifted.
  • On other players screens, this will lift enemies up in the location your Razan was cast. However, this is only if the target is relatively close to where your cast appears on their screen.
    • This also means a different target that isn't the one you target can be lifted up randomly on another player's screen, should mobs become de-synchronized enough.
• Has unlimited range if free aimed. Can also hit locked-on enemies behind a wall.
  • With no valid target, its maximum cast range is about 30M. Uncharged is half that.

• Range is effectively melee range, similar to what you would get out of a gunslash slash.
  • Uncharged, the damage and effective range is halved.
• The technique prioritizes hitting breakables and weakpoints.
• Does knock back enemies.

• When charged and shot, the wind sphere travels up to about 15M before hovering in place for a second or so. The ball damages enemies until it disappears.
  • The sphere can travel through enemies. It will not travel behind enemy walls or things like TD/MBD darker walls.
  • The sphere does not ever prematurely disappear.
  • Uncharged has the ball do only one hit before disappearing. It also has no knockback in this state.
  • 15M is the same as uncharged Rafoie and Safoie Type 0. Realistically, the center of the projectile seems to fall just short of that at about 14.75M.
• The sphere's range is quite wide in comparison to what the animation displays. I'd guess it has a roughly 2 meter radius around its animation/ center point.
• If you hit enemies at point blank range, enemies that can be knocked back will be knocked back by it like uncrafted Nazan.
  • If they aren't in melee range, the sphere may travel straight past the intended target and miss.
  • Note that even if enemies are knocked back, they may not end up where the sphere stops at.
• You can use free aim to shoot the ball into the ground to stop it from traveling too far
  • Can also target a wall to stop the sphere's movement early.
  • If you aim it at a slightly heightened non-terrain structure, such as a turret/ais spawn pad in the various "defense" EQs, nazan type 0 may not do any damage to things surrounding it.
• Can "hitstun lock" enemies with due to its fast hit rate.
• 2 hits of 10% power when the sphere travels, 8 hits of 10% once the sphere is in place.

• The projectile moves mobs to its center, where they are then hit.
• Can be useful in lining up mobs
• The suction range is larger than the projectile itself so an enemy may be suctioned with no damage taken.
• Knocks enemies down.
• The max range of the projectile itself is about 50M, about the same as Foie.

Zanverse

Zanverse ザンバース	Basic wind technique. Create a field of photons that delivers wind element attacks.

• When cast, Zanverse summons a circle of wind energy. When a player inflicts damage to a target while standing in the field, 20% of the damage inflicted is dealt again as Wind damage.
• The field stays for about 1.5s if uncharged, 5.5s if charged.
• As of the EPISODE 5 update, this Technique is no longer affected by the effects of Skills and Potentials.
• Zanverse is unaffected by Just Attack.
• Zanverse damage is affected by innate damage multipliers applicable to a target. For example, the 4x damage multiplier on A.I.S. Exoda will also affect Zanverse damage. However, Weak Bullet multipliers will not.
• Zanverse affects A.I.S., but does not affect Turrets or Gun Emplacements.
• If multiple Zanverse overlap and are cast by multiple people, only the oldest Zanverse takes effect. After it expires, the next oldest takes its place.
• Like most other support techniques, casting any support technique that isn't Zondeel prematurely stops the field's effects, despite the animation still playing.
  • Specifically Shifta, Deband, Zanverse, Resta, Anti, and Megiverse share this behavior.
• Zanverse damage doesn't charge Photon Blast Gauge or Compound Technique gauge.
• Zanverse damage is attributed to the caster for the purposes of Hate. Thus, it is possible to attract enemies' attention with Zanverse.
• Increasing the skill's level seems to only increase its status effect rate chance.
