Your puppet with inhibitor will close Maru Kala with Armor Shatterer instead to make Fusion. I don't know why.

Working as intended if you have a wind maneuver active. You’d have to drop the wind maneuver and use a dark maneuver for it to prefer Piercer. Or 2 dark/1 wind. Sorry!

The automaton will ignore maneuvers to use the highest level weaponskill it can that will skillchain with the most recent weaponskill used.

I dont know if speedloaders will tweak that aspect of its AI

I can confirm that equipping a speedloader will fix the issue.

Inhib only + Maru Kala = Armor Shatterer -> Fusion
Inhib + Speedloader + Maru Kala = Armor Piercer -> Darkness

Are you getting decent damage out of Armor Piercer + Darkness?

Not really. If there's a use case for Maru Kala, I haven't found it yet.
