Blacklight Arrow is a spell that creates a black Magic Arrow-like projectile. Unlike its normal counterpart, the projectile created has an inherent Decelerating Shot effect, causing it to slow down rapidly when travelling through the air. It also has the notable properties of possessing innate piercing and ignoring solids, traveling through them with ease.
The spell also has trigger and timer variants.
Tips
- The arrow's damage scales with its velocity, similar to Bouncing Burst.
- However, this usually comes as a detriment to the player rather than a benefit, as the projectile will lose damage rapidly when fired at range.
- Speed Up and any other speed-increasing modifiers will not increase the projectile's damage, but will allow it to maintain high damage for a longer distance.
- Accelerating Shot will actually cause the projectile to slow down somewhat but prevents it from slowing down further. This effectively locks the projectile at ~21 damage, halving its speed but preventing the damage falloff.
- Taking this further, combining Speed Up and Accelerating Shot allows the projectile to regain most of its original speed while still preventing the projectile from slowing down completely.
- The projectile's innate piercing allows the Trigger variant of the spell to be used to great effect with any Homing modifier, as any Trigger projectile with piercing is able to release its payload multiple times.
- Blacklight Arrow is not affected by gravity at all.
- This spell has friendly fire enabled by default. Beware of enemy shields or the Boomerang modifier, as they may potentially cause the arrow to turn around and hit you.
