Unlock it after the Opticus trial
Finish the Wizard’s Tower survival encounter, then complete Opticus’s reward conversation. His Ultimate Overseer ends the trial; reducing all 600 HP is not the requirement. Use the linked Opticus guide for his attack cues.
Use it on Paint Platforms
Activate the Paintball Gun on a Paint Platform to start a painting puzzle. Copy the provided reference picture to open the route. This is the field use documented for the card; it is not a metal-bar demolition tool.
Battle cost and action command
The ranged action costs 4 SP, pierces defense and deals 1 base damage plus 1 for a successful action command. Press the action input as the shot reaches its target, similar to Ball timing. There is no separate visual timing marker.
| Effect | Limit |
|---|---|
| Level 1 Painted for 3 turns | Adds 1 to damage taken, with exceptions listed in the status reference. |
| Multi-hit attacks | The bonus applies to the first hit, not every hit in the move. |
| SP budget | At 4 SP per use, repeated shots compete with recovery and Ghost Potion spending. |
