Spells that produce arrow-like projectiles.

Holy Lance is a projectile spell that is currently unique in inflicting Holy Damage, in addition to a respectable explosive effect. It is slow moving and, by default, follows an arcing trajectory akin to an arrow.

A more powerful version of Glowing Lance, with a relatively long lifetime (up to 5 seconds), the ability to penetrate entities, and, crucially, no minimum speed. This makes for an ideal projectile to use with multi-triggering (e.g. Pollen Looping) builds.


Tips

  • Holy Damage is extremely useful as most enemies (including bosses) lack immunity to it.
  • Extremely dangerous to player since it has friendly fire.
  • Quantum Split can make it easier to deal damage with its explosion, as the red and blue copies will have the built-in entity penetrating effect removed, allowing them to detonate on impact.
  • Enjoys a huge (nearly +300) damage boost from a single Explosive Projectile modifier, thanks to its' high base explosion radius.
  • This spell can penetrate entities (meaning it won't die on collision with them) but does not have a piercing effect. This means damage is dealt only once (any attached trigger will fire only once) per entity.
  • Combining with Aiming Arc (or Circle of Buoyancy) gives fine control over the slow-moving projectile's path.
