Sharp Shooting, also known as Focused Arrow Strike, is a high-power precision shot that strikes everything in its path and can deal critical hits, available to the Sniper class.
Overview
Sharp Shooting fires a single, heavily focused arrow that scales hard with skill level and splashes to enemies around the impact. It can critically strike and can also destroy enemy traps. A bow and one arrow are required.
Mechanics
- Damage formula: (200 + 50 × SkillLv)% of weapon ATK — 250% at level 1, rising to 450% at level 5.
- Critical-capable: the shot rolls for critical hits and carries a large built-in +20 critical rate bonus, so it benefits greatly from high critical rate and from crit-boosting buffs such as True Sight. On a critical hit it ignores the target's DEF and cannot be dodged.
- Splashes to enemies in the area along the shot (splash radius 1), using the server's directional area algorithm rather than a fixed box.
- Can target and destroy enemy traps.
- Cast time is 2 seconds with a 1.5-second after-cast delay.
Because damage is weapon-based, the user's weapon, arrows, mastery and ATK buffs all contribute to the final result.
Leveling
| Level | Damage | Bonus crit | SP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 250% | +20 | 18 |
| 2 | 300% | +20 | 21 |
| 3 | 350% | +20 | 24 |
| 4 | 400% | +20 | 27 |
| 5 | 450% | +20 | 30 |
Requirements
Requires a bow equipped and consumes 1 arrow per cast.
Notes
Sharp Shooting pairs strongly with True Sight, whose critical bonus stacks with this skill's built-in +20 crit to push the shot toward reliable critical hits. It is the Sniper's main area-damage tool against clustered enemies and trap fields.
