I am a Hacker, so I use concentration ALL the time. Concentration helps you avoid having an ability 'interrupted' when someone shoots and hits you. So for example, lets say Im performing my Logic Barrage attack. This hack takes a few seconds to cast. If uring those seconds, while the bar on the top of the screen is filling, I get hit by gunfire there is a chance that my ability will be interrupted and my hack wont finish.

Now I havent been a gunman for about 3 months, but if I remember correctly, the same thing applies when you are using your gunman attacks (outside of interlock), such as Bullet Spray, etc. Again, if you are using that ability, it takes a few seconds to initiate and if you are hit with gunfire, there is a chance the ability will be interrupted.

I have found that keeping Concentration leveled greatly recduces my chances of having an ability interrupted down to about zero when facing enemies at my level. I believe that it an essential abiltiy for hackers and others who don't do alot of interlock.

Maybe an MA can fill us in on it's utility to that ability tree.

For pure MAs its less useful as most moves are only usuable in
Interlock, except for things like Swirling Ki Summon or Ki Burst where
it does help. For a gunman, I'd say its as essential to have it
loaded as it is for a hacker.

best for hackers

I always keep concentration loaded and upgraded to the max.

As a coder I find it useful when I am coding simulacra or buffs for
said simulacra. I would say any attack where you aren't in
interlock benefits from Concentration.

Ok dude it seems like no one is really giving you a straight on answer so.......this awakened ability is very useful for hackers and coders. This ability when loaded and at max (50) can help finish your virus when you get shot by someone....so for example lets say your at ummm a mission and you have this ability loaded and you are a hacker of some sort. Well here comes a gunner comming out of a room, you start a virus on this little SOB and he/she decieds to shot you. The concentration ability will save you from restarting the virus all over again plus you still hit that little SOB with your virus. There ya go if you are still confused then just load it and max it out..once you do this then go do about 4 missions with this ability loaded and then do 4 without it loaded and youll see the difference it does.. SMILEY good luck with the ability

PS. some abilities never really tell you what they do so you will have to experiment with most of them.

i think anthony said it best....

Also very good as a Master Knife Thrower as well, since all the abilities there are outside combat.

It's good for MA because you'll get less interrupted when you use consumables.
