da capo

How it works

The movement meter advances from direct damage with the weapon; aura kills do not independently supply that progression. Higher stages increase maximum health, defense, movement speed and aura coverage. They also introduce status immunities in steps. The wiki’s table lists fire immunity before poison, bleeding and curse are added at later movements. Reading the aura in isolation therefore misses several changes that accompany the same milestone.

The ordinary scythe attack and the surrounding aura use different damage and timing rules. Legato is another action, added in the May 2026 update. The wiki cautions that it does not give invincibility and can be interrupted by ragdoll. A crowd in aura range is not evidence that every opponent is being struck by the melee hit at the same time.

Finale activates when an enemy directly kills the user at movement four. Resetting or dying to an environmental hazard does not trigger it. The sequence damages nearby enemies before the owner dies, making it a final area effect rather than another revival. Da capo’s Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina references also explain the movements and musical presentation. Mode blacklists below should be checked before applying this progression plan to BOSS, JGN or ZS.
