Entanglement Stone

When to use it

One of the two stones that says DP where everything else on this site says FP. Recorded verbatim rather than corrected: if Koo has two resources, that is a bigger finding than this stone, and if the table is inconsistent, silently fixing it would hide the evidence.

Where it sits in the gear catalogue

• Its stat half is a HP ceiling of 33, which is the seventeenth-highest of the seventeen HP ceilings among the 33 Spirit Stones catalogued here. The rest of that group: Momentum (102), Stone Mind (90), Homing Shots (90), Dark Approach (80), Critical Damage Increase (80), Transcendent Bloom (69), Entanglement Increase (65), Empowered Headshots (65), Faster Reloads (65), Infernal End (65), Fortification (57), Final Infusion (54), Well of Fortitude (48), Sharpshooter (39), Entangled Assassination (39) and Break Recovery (39).
• Eight of the 33 stones point at the same system as this one — The gauge this refills — what spends it, and how the eight stones compare — which is where the rank arithmetic behind every figure above is worked out.

Builds using this

• Thunderwave lightning — BltzZ explains it at 00:30
  Opens combat with the entanglement gauge at +3 and Koo’s FP at +3. He calls it essential and says he does not see it coming off anybody’s build — a first-strike stone rather than a scaling one.
• Instant Entanglement resets — Dopamine Hunter explains it at 05:00
  Two segments of gauge at the start of every fight, which is what lets the loop open with Overdrive instead of building toward it. The third build on this site to name it.
