Disc Projectile
Disc Projectile (also known as Sawblade) is a projectile spell that summons a physical spinning sawblade-like projectile, bouncing when hitting solid materials until its energy is spent and it falls to the ground harmless. Just like the Chainsaw, it will generate a lot of blood when damaging creatures.
This spell can cause large amounts of damage to both enemies and you.
Tips
- While Disc Projectile’s projectile damage is affected by its' speed, it lacks any projectile damage to begin with, so be sure to add Damage Plus or other modifiers if you wish to use this effect.
- The Disc Projectile is a very effective, but dangerous, spell. It has great mana efficiency compared to many other spells, which makes it a good choice if you can compensate for the danger using it involves.
- The Homing modifier or Homing Shots perk is very useful for making sure the discs go where you want them to. The Projectile Repulsion Field perk makes it almost completely safe. Almost.
- When combined with the Remove Bounce modifier, this spell becomes safer to cast.
- Enemies killed by Disc Projectile will produce corpse parts that produce large volumes of the corresponding blood type.
Speed & Damage
The Projectile damage dealt by Disc Projectile depends on its speed. Specifically, base damage is multiplied by the ratio of its current and starting speeds, i.e.:
This effect will tend to reduce damage over the lifetime of the projectile as it slows down after being fired. Since this effect works both ways it can also be used to increase damage - by reducing the initial speed, increasing the final speed, or ideally both.
- Accelerating Shot is ideal for this since it both reduces the initial speed, increases speed over the projectile's lifetime, and prevents it from slowing down.
- Heavy Shot also reduces initial speed while providing a hefty damage boost (which is multiplied by the speed damage).
- Rotate Towards Foes is also ideal since it does not change the projectile's speed, only the direction it is moving in.
