- At all times (passively):
- Charon will gain 33% increased shot speed if facing the same shooting direction for 2 seconds, and 66% if facing the same direction for 7 seconds. Changing shooting directions removes this bonus.
- This applies to Charon both while separate and while joined with Dante.

Notes

Trivia
- Phylactery is based off of the phylactery from Dungeons and Dragons, which is a cage-like object used to store a monster's soul, usually to make one's self a lich, and therefore, unkillable.
- While the name "Phylactery" has meant many things throughout history, this description of a phylactery has become most common within fantasy fiction.
- Other meanings for phylactery are as follows:
- Leather boxes containing Torah verses worn by some Jews when praying.
- An amulet or charm, worn for supposed magical power
- A reliquary, a case in which (Christian) relics were preserved
