How to Copy Enemy Abilities
Hold the Normal Attack Button to Copy
In NTE, Lacrimosa can copy enemy abilities. Press and hold the Basic Attack button during combat to enter aiming mode. When the crosshair displays the bat wings icon, fire at the enemy to copy their ability.
Some Enemies Cannot Be Copied

Lacrimosa's copy ability does not work on all enemies; some enemies cannot be copied and will display an "X" on the crosshair when targeted. You can check which enemies are compatible with her copy ability in her "Memory".
How to Select Copied Abilities

Once you copy an ability, you can re-equip it later from the "Memory" found in Lacrimosa's Esper Ability menu. Copied abilities are permanently recorded, so useful enemy abilities are worth collecting whenever you find them.
Can Also Add Rare Enemies
Enemies that can only be encountered during quests and other limited-time situations are also included in the "Memory" Codex. Even if you fail to copy their abilities, they will be registered in the "Memory" upon defeat.
Activate with Redirect Skill
After selecting an ability from the "Memory," you can use the selected enemy's ability by activating a Redirect Skill. If no ability is selected, or if the Support Skill "Sleep In" has activated, the Redirect Skill will revert to its normal effect.
Tips for Using Copied Abilities
While using a copied ability, you cannot move, and it will be canceled if you Dodge. However, you can ensure your safety while the ability takes effect by switching to an ally.
