- Not to be confused with the Searching skill in Sword Art Online.
Searcher (サーチャー, Sāchā?) is a penetration spell in ALfheim Online used to detect hiding players and monsters.
Description[]
After the caster completes the incantation, a set number of familiars are summoned.[1] Depending on the caster's choice, the familiars can either spread out in an expanding circle, moving randomly once summoned,[2] or be sent in a more specific direction, though they continue to move radially after being dispatched.[3] If the familiars come into contact with a hiding player or monster, those targets will be revealed.[2][3]
