{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|催眠音波 さいみんおんぱ ''saimin onpa'' "Hypnotism Wave"}} {{altname|Hypno Wave}} is [[Lucca]]'s 2nd-level [[Tech]] in {{CT}}.  Hypnowave is her first non-offensive and [[Status Effect]]-inflicting tech; it is also one of the only non-damaging techs to be included in a [[Triple Tech]] move, which is [[Poyozo Dance]].  Her only other non-offensive tech is [[Protect]].  
'''Hypnowave''' {{altname|Hypno Wave}} is [[Lucca]]'s 2nd-level [[Tech]].


==Description==
{{stub}}
With what appears to be a conductors wand or some other mechanical invention, Lucca faces the screen and taps her feet a few times. Several green rings radiate from her core.
 
==Strategy==
If Hypnowave is successfully performed, it lulls multiple enemies to sleep. A major downfall of Hypnowave is that many enemies are unable to sleep; robots, for instance. This tech is most useful against the [[Mother Brain]]'s Displays in [[Geno Dome]]. These Displays, when active, will heal Mother Brain. If defeated, Mother Brain unleashes fierce magical attacks similar to [[Flare]]. The best alternative is to place them under hypnosis using Lucca's Hypnowaves, which, oddly enough, with the Displays, seems to have a higher hit rate than with most other enemies.
 
==Etymology==
The prefix ''Hypno''- is shorthand for ''hypnosis'', which means to be placed in a dream-like trance. ''Wave'' describes a method of movement with descending and cresting motions, which conincidences with the animation of Lucca's Hypnowave. Also, ''Wave'' is commonly attached to the word ''sound'' to create ''sound wave'', the mode of traveling sound. The music heard when this tech is performed mimics an electrical pulse and is very soft and seemingly comforting.
