Ketsui Lock On Shot: Does proximity effect damage?

Post by MaXXX »

I know that being closer to the enemy makes the options lock on quicker, resulting in more DPS. But separate from that it seems like enemies die quicker when you stay close to them (but not being so far away the laser isn't touching).

So does closeness to the enemy affect damage or am I imagining it?

I heard that having all locks on a single enemy/target gives you a damage bonus
idk about proximity though, I doubt it does a lot if anything

I thought that was just being close enough to an enemy for the center laser to actually connect and do its own damage. I don't think there's anything else beyond that.
