Tornado Shot

Tornado Shot is a bow attack skill which fires a piercing shot that releases projectiles in all directions when it reaches the targeted location. The secondary projectiles fade over time.

Skill functions and interactions

 * Secondary projectiles: Upon reaching the targeted location, Tornado Shot's projectile releases three secondary arrows in random directions. No target can be hit by more than one secondary arrow from a single explosion.
 * Multiple projectiles: When Tornado Shot fires additional projectiles, such as when supported by, the arrows are fired side by side, each exploding and releasing three arrows. Enemies can be hit by secondary arrows released by different primary arrows. This makes Tornado Shot with additional projectiles particularly effective against single targets.
 * Point Blank: Since Tornado Shots secondary arrows are a continuation of the primary arrows (similar to Chain or Fork), their distance traveled for the purposes of Point Blank includes the distance traveled by their primary projectile as well as their own. This means that targets immediately next to the explosion of a primary arrow do not necessarily take the full +30% damage bonus on the secondary arrow.
 * Projectile speed: Projectile speed will increase the distance that the secondary projectiles travel before disappearing, effectively increasing their range.

Version history

 * Now deals base weapon damage and has an added damage effectiveness of 100% at gem level 1 (from 90%), up to 120% at gem level 20 (from 109%).


 * Now has alternative gem quality.


 * The secondary projectiles now fade over time, similar to Freezing Pulse, but without the gradual damage drop-off. In other words, the secondary projectiles will have a shorter range by default, but can be increased by increasing the skill's Projectile Speed.


 * Tornado Shot's base damage has been increased by a flat 10% at all levels.


 * Now grants 1% increased projectile damage per 1% quality (was 0.5% per 1% quality).
 * Base Damage has been reduced from 90% to 80% at gem level 1.


 * The secondary arrow from Tornado Shot has had its effect changed. The secondary arrow no longer leaves a permanent arrow in the environment.


 * Fixed a bug where Tornado Shot would hit the same monster multiple times when it chained or returned.


 * Fixed a bug where arrow pierce would not apply to Tornado Shot.


 * Tornado Shot has been added to the game.
