Throw Spirit Sphere

Overview

Throw Spirit Sphere is the Monk's main ranged attack. The caster hurls spirit spheres at a distant target for weapon-element damage, with the number of hits capped by how many spheres are currently held. It also ends any Blade Stop lock.

Mechanics

Damage formula (pre-renewal):

Per-hit damage = (100 + 100 × SkillLv)% ATK

Number of hits = current sphere count, up to SkillLv maximum

Level	Damage per Hit	Max Hits
1	200% ATK	1
2	300% ATK	2
3	400% ATK	3
4	500% ATK	4
5	600% ATK	5
6	700% ATK	6
7	800% ATK	7
8	900% ATK	8
9	1000% ATK	9
10	1100% ATK	10

The SP cost increases by 1 for every two skill levels: 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13, 13, 14, 14 at levels 1–10.

Depending on server configuration, the spheres may all strike at once as a single combined hit, or fire one after another at 200 ms intervals after the first.

After the attack, any Blade Stop state on the caster ends.

Notes

• Because hits are capped by current sphere count, maintaining 5 spheres maximizes the skill's hit output.
• The 3.5-second cast time is the longest of any Monk skill: protect cast time against interruption.
• The cast cannot be interrupted once started.
• Can be used to break out of a Blade Stop at sufficiently high Blade Stop levels.
• Against plant-mode monsters with exactly 100 DEF, the multi-hit collapses into a single event.
