==Overview== | |||
PK Love is Lucas's signature PSI attack which when used targets the enemy with psychedelic waves, which then spread out in hexagons (starting with β) as it attacks. Lucas first learns the move when [[Ionia]] awakens his PSI powers by dunking his head under the hot spring in the [[Railway]], prompting him to learn PK Love α along with other PSI moves. When Lucas first learns the move, it shocks Ionia as they say not even the [[Magypsies]] can learn it. PK Love is only learned through special events instead of during level-up through Fever, much like [[PK Flash]] and [[PK Starstorm]], with α being learned when Ionia initally teaches Lucas the move, and the rest being learned each time Lucas successfully pulls the Needles. In Chapter 1 [[Aeolia]] reveals they taught Claus PK Love when he went missing. | |||
While its primary usage is as an attack, it also has a very special secondary ability; the power to pull the [[Seven Needles]] and awaken the [[Dark Dragon]]. The person who can use PK Love is destined to pull the Seven Needles when the time is right, and is supposed to pass their heart onto the Dark Dragon and recreate the world. The [[Masked Man]] also has the ability to use PK Love. | |||
PK Love Ω is one of the strongest PSI attacks in the series, rivaled by [[PSI Rockin]], [[PK Freeze]] and [[PK Starstorm]]'s Ω forms, and to an extent, [[PK Ground]]. As an attack, PK Love is the successor to Ness's PSI Rockin, as they are both named after the player's favorite thing and only few are able to learn the move (In this case Lucas and Claus). Both PSI attacks are sometimes considered the successor to [[PK Beam]] as well, as they are all non-elemental PSI attacks (and one can name their favorite thing "Beam" at the beginning), with the only difference being, as with Rockin, PK Love attacks all enemies instead of one for each of its levels. | |||
