Perforating Shot

Archer skill · Precision line · tier 4

Beta 0.7.2

Narrow head, heavy shaft: it goes through what should have stopped it.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 6 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Perforating Shot scales with Penetration. Its value at each rank is 188 + 54 × rank:

Penetration is a percentage stat, so the value is used as written (in basis points, shown here as a percentage), times the skill power.

Penetration = value × skill power
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Precision skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it
