Delayed Bind (ディレイドバインド Direido Baindo) is a preset binding spell cast by Chrono Harlaown. It has a distinct feature to be cast in advance and then bind the opponent who enters a specific area.
Note that Delayed Bind is only one of the preset binding spells. The delayed occurrence effect can also be added to other binding spells, e.g. Fate Testarossa's Lightning Bind and Nanoha Takamachi's Restrict Lock. In its only appearance in the primary continuity, Chrono's Delayed Bind is also shaped like Chain Bind, but it is not detailed whether the spell is simply Chain Bind plus delayed occurrence effect.
Notable uses[]
- Delayed Bind is first seen casting in A's manga to chain Fate Testarossa during her mage rank examination. Chrono casts it before firing Blaze Cannon to prevent sudden attacks from Fate.
- In The Battle of Aces and The Gears of Destiny, Delayed Bind is adapted as one of Chrono's long-range binding spells. For game visual effects, it is shaped as a mana sphere/ellipsoid (invisible to the opponent) when cast for presetting, and looks like ordinary Ring Bind when the opponent is bound.
Variations[]
Hound Sphere (ハウンドスフィア Haundo Sufia) is a slow auto-guided variation of Delayed Bind, adapted as one of Chrono's charged binding spells in The Gears of Destiny. Its visual effects in the game are same as Delayed Bind.
