Aether Moonburst not working?

[Citizen Snips]

Am I doing something wrong? It says my omega special gains 20% dmg and restores 5 magic. However, I am not gaining any magic when I use it.

It has a precise timing, the istant it finishes to charge release immediately to shoot it

Thanks. I'll try that next time it comes up.

If you do what it says in the tool tip, wait and hold until you see a brief flash, and the release it, you are too late and will fail. You have to release slightly before it's fully charged.

In my opinion the window of opportunity is too short and more importantly, too early (before the flash). Nailing the powershot with the bow in Hades (the first) worked great, if you did what the game told you to do, it worked as intended. Not so much with the staff here in Hades 2.

To anyone still struggling with this, if you’re using controller make sure vibration is on. You’ll feel a vibration as it’s charging, release as soon as you feel it, that apparently is the correct timing.
