Piercing Arrow (HT_PHANTASMIC) is a hard-hitting single-target bow attack available to the Archer class.
Overview
Piercing Arrow drives a single powerful shot through a target, partially ignoring its defense. It trades the rapid spam of Double Strafe for a heavier per-shot punch, making it a strong choice against tougher, well-armored enemies.
Mechanics
The skill requires a bow and consumes 1 arrow per cast, with a short 0.75-second cast time. It deals weapon-element damage of (75 + 25 × skill level)% of weapon ATK — 100% at level 1 up to 350% at level 10. The attack can land critical hits and bypasses 50% of the target's defense, so it stays effective against high-defense foes. SP cost is a flat 14, and its range is extended by Vulture's Eye.
Leveling
Each level adds 25% to the damage.
| Level | Damage | SP |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100% | 14 |
| 5 | 200% | 14 |
| 10 | 350% | 14 |
Requirements
Requires a bow (or a musical instrument / whip) equipped and consumes 1 arrow per cast.
Notes
