• Instant Attack Lv3 = JA 105%
• Standing Death Lv1 = Standing Snipe 107%

Weapon Potential Abilities Procedure:

• First grind the weapon to +10 because only weapons that reach +10 can unleash their potential ability.
• A menu in the Item Lab will allow you to release its hidden ability.
• When you unlock this ability, it resets the grind to +0
• Upd: When you unlock the ability, it costs photon spheres and meseta.

Leveling up Potential Abilities:

• Each potential ability has a LV attached.
• To increase this level you must grind the weapon to +10
• At the item lab you can increase the level of the potential ability which will then reset the grind back to +0
• You can do this again and again, it is unknown at this time if there's a cap for how high your potential ability can go.
