Late to the comment chain, but some of them are actually magical (utilize maso). You can tell by the Angelic script that appears when a flash of white light occurs like 2B's dodge. That's the main reason why I came to watch this video, to see how much magic still existed up to this point in NieR.
The wire is a program that launches you to the enemy you target. the charged versions just increase the length of the wire so you can catch up to an enemy that is farther away.
Should note that lv. 2 on the laser pod temporarily gives you an extra song laser (the laser fires like water from a hose) so tapping the fire key with laser also exponentially increases damage just like with gattling.
Me on my 1st playthrough: Mirage, Bomb, and Volt are all OP I'll never use anything else. Me on my 10th Playthrough: Slow, Wire, and Missle are the best dont @ me

@@RogerNbr slow wire and missle are not particularly good at all, but those 3 allow for some really awesome combos. It's a joke about how if you beat a game that many times you stop worrying about min/max and start having fun with everything you've perfected.

I feel that decoy doesn't last long enough to matter considering how fast you already are and should be overwhelmingly better.

There's one pod attack you've missed. It's easiest to see if you have overclock installed. Perfect evade a melee attack then while you're evading/just after tap the fire key. You should grab the pod and use it as a cannon for a single shot. Does quite a bit of damage too. Only performable immediately after the evade though, but it is useful. Also with wave, if you have some fast cooldown, you can spam level 1 waves constantly by swapping out each pod.
:/ I started playing Nier a few weeks ago and I play every so often. I’m still missing a massive chunk of info when it comes to upgrading so this kinda helps. I just don’t know HOW to tho
sorry for the noob question, just bought the game, but how are you able to use more than 1 pod at a time? I have 2 at the moment but I'm only able to use 1 at a time?
Heh, I never did figure out how to upgrade these things. Nor did I switch to other pod types. I feel like there's a whole area of the game that I missed 😂
@@tiwitiwi6202 Some people question whether magic still linger in the time automata. Some pod move sets have same motion like Weiss magic, and pods use angelic writing when does special attacks, even android weapons can teleport.
Gravity does yes. I've seen it suck in projectiles. Too bad it doesn't swap ownership of them once they're in the field so they damage machines. That would of been hilarious.
Wait i just realised that it nier automata become as gods edition And in the twisted religion mission they want to die because they think they will become as gods..
Okasih For the Slow program, during Route B talk to 21O in the Bunker to get Data Analysis Freak. Beat it, warp to the Resistance Camp and leave the camp and you will get Data Analysis Freak 2. Beat it and you get the Slow Pod Program. Idk about the others haha
For Wave Program, you have to complete the Wandering Couple side quest, but before starting the Missile Supply main quest. You can obtain it in Route A.
It took me an hour of fishing to find Pod B but I kept at it because I overheard an Operator in the bunker say that a pod got lost at sea in the Flooded City. Another convo on the bunker already lead me to Pod C in the desert so I knew I was on the right track. RNG just fucks people sometimes. Most people fish out that pod within a few attempts
To unlock the feature of charging up pod programs to level 3 You need to find the laser and missle pods. (I feel so lucky, i found the laser pod by fishing on the first try) For every new pod you find, you can charge up your pod program 1 extra level by holding the pod program button until another pod shows up.
IIRC those two are found on YoRHa corpses in route C. Seems like you already found Volt, which was on a corpse in the Amusement Park in the middle of the area with the tank. I only mention it here for posterity. Decoy is back at the very beginning in the factory. Shortly after the bridge you had to shoot down on a storage crate. Missile is back at the other beginning on top of the building where you landed after you left the bunker for the first time. May have gotten the programs mixed up, but the locations should be sound.
I some how managed to perform a strange combo twice idk how i did it need help.. After successfully evading i think my 2b just started wind slashing enemies by that i mean she started firing projectiles in the direction i aim..
You will get a visual cue from the pod while firing to let you know its ready to fire the charged attack For gatling level 3, you need 2 charges to fire the cluster bomb attack
70 hours into the game. I never used anything except laser on all three of my Pods. That combined with Ranged Damage + Auto Heal + defensive head + offensive heal, was forced to play this way cause 9s sucks lmao.

charging wire gives it a longer reach. charging missile makes the damage and lunge distance higher
i played the whole game and never got to use even half of all of this.
amazing
never knew the pod had charge moves after leveling up. thanks for showing
pod has charge if you find the other two pods
The pod skills can be charged with the other pods, but doing so puts the other pods on cooldown as well.
michaelman90 holy shit
I didnt have the stuff to upgrade pod lvl untill the end of the game helping devola and popala or however you spell it
I just realized Pod Programs are like NieR:Automata's version of magic in most JRPGs.
thast hight advance tech for you
A bunch of them are based off of Grimoire Weiss' sealed verse magic in the first NieR
Pod Programs are simply a technologically-applied variation of the magic discovered by humanity some time after the terrible events at Tokyo.
Grimoire wiess from nier replicant says hi
Pod: you want the dlc costume where i dress up as a book of spells?

It's be cool if they add some increased length of the Wire program when the pods are charging the Wire Program
