I honestly don't remember the precise moment it shows up in the synthesis menu; 7 is just a gut memory.

Basically it fires behind and over your head to deposit an orb in front of you, so when you form change to blade and execute PU, the orb touches you and triggers the counterattack.

As for elements, they were reworked in GE2RB to have umbrella values of (from highest to lowest) OO, O, --, X, and XX, with X and XX being negative values, instead of numerical values. That's not to say the numerical values are gone—they're still there, but as hidden values covered by the umbrella classifications of OO, O, --, X, and XX.
