Gabriel

Army-Breaking Songstress, Gabriel (破軍歌姫〈ガブリエル〉) is Miku Izayoi's Angel, carried by the ninth sephirah, Yesod. It is an Ultimate skill, and the only Angel in the mod that stays planted where you call it: a great pipe organ eleven blocks wide rises behind you, a circular keyboard surrounds you, and as long as you stay at the keyboard, you play. Its songs aren't cast, they are held: they last as long as you play, reach everything that can hear them and are paid for every second.

Getting the Angel

• Command: /give @s dateaslime:sephira_yesod, then right-click with the Sephira Crystal: Yesod in hand to absorb it. If you already carry Gabriel, the crystal refuses you and stays in your inventory.
• In survival: the crystal is earned by purifying a Qlipha Crystal of Yesod (the Demon King Lilith). Miku drops her own (1% chance by default), and the other great bosses can drop one at random. See Qlipha Crystals and Qlipha Hosts (Demon Kings).

Usage

Put Gabriel in a Tensura skill slot and press that slot's key to fire the selected mode. Switch modes with Tensura's mode keys or by holding G (mode wheel). Nothing is held: every mode fires on a single press.

The organ and the keyboard

• Calling it places the organ behind you, facing the way you face: the circular keyboard ends up centred on the spot where you stood. The organ takes 4 seconds to rise; nothing can be played meanwhile ("The organ is still rising.").
• Being at the keyboard means staying within 2.2 blocks of the centre of that circle (and within 3 blocks of its height). Every mode except Manifest requires it: otherwise, "Go back to the keyboard to play." and nothing is spent.
• The organ doesn't follow you. If you move more than 48 blocks away, or die, it folds away. It can't be harmed and blocks no one.

Playing a song

• Pressing a song starts it ("Gabriel plays …"), pressing another one switches tunes, and pressing the current song again stops it.
• Every song affects, every second, everything within 24 blocks of the organ, depending on whether it belongs to your friendly or hostile audience. Its effects last 2.5 s and are renewed with every bar.
• The music stops if you leave the keyboard ("You left the keyboard — the music stops.") or can no longer pay for the next second ("Out of magicules — the music stops.").
• Each song has its own motif, played note by note on the organ, and a coloured ring leaves the keyboard with every bar.

Mode summary

Locks and limits

• You play at the keyboard, and only there. Straying more than 2.2 blocks from the centre of the circle cuts the music. No playing while crossing the map: Gabriel is a positional Angel.
• One song at a time (Fantasia holds two). Symphony cuts the current song.
• The cost is per second: a long March drains your pool. The song stops by itself when you can no longer pay.
• Solo doesn't take everyone: not Spirits, not Angel bearers, not big creatures, not anyone with as much EP as you or more.
• Fantasia empties your pool: during and after it, your other skills have nothing left to be cast with.
• A player who hits you joins your hostile audience for 10 s: your songs stop helping them, and Rondo or Solo target them.

Tips

• Pick your stage: call the organ where you mean to hold — a chokepoint, the middle of an arena, behind a wall. Your allies fight around you while the music carries.
• March to attack, Requiem to hold: switching between them only costs the starting price (300 MP) and a 2 s cooldown.
• Rondo, then Symphony: Rondo pins enemies in place, Symphony hits them through their armour. Move inside the circle as you strike to double the damage.
• Solo against crowds: charmed monsters fight for you for a whole minute, even after the song stops.
• Save Fantasia for the end of a group fight: thirty seconds of strength and healing for everyone, out to 48 blocks.
