HOW IT'S MADE

Anime Impact Frame Hit stacks 11 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: keyframed parameters and post filters (outline and impact frames).

It loops seamlessly every 0.6 s, and 11 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 0.08 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Star Spikes" in the studio and edit the Colour over Life gradient. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.
