Universality: An Elaboration on Form

Last updated 2026-09-09

"Truth inherently exists amidst uncertainty. Even the greatest of scholars are not immune to error."

Universality: An Elaboration on Form is Alhaitham's Elemental Skill.

Gameplay Notes

  • When a Projection Attack hits at least one enemy, it generates 1 Elemental Particle.
    • This particle generation has a cooldown of 1.5 seconds.
  • Projection Attacks individually snapshot upon starting their animation.
  • A Plunging Attack can be performed immediately after holding this skill, regardless of Alhaitham's altitude.

Trivia

  • Letters from the Sumeru Script appear when this skill is activated. The letter that is centered around Alhaitham's hand during his rush attack is R, while the smaller letters that are scattered around are T, H, E, O, I, and A. Combined together, this spells out the word theoria, Latin for "theory."
    • Various letters from the Vedanagari script also appear during the 2- and 3-Mirror Projection Attacks.
