In the clip you can see the npc throw this homing pincer blast thing. But I dont have any moves that are like this, closest I can think of is barrage but that is limited to 20 hits and I dont even have barrage in my skillset. I also saw some high level bounty npc and atlanteans throw this and it always does crazy damage.
it looks like they fired another projectile, it just hit the ground immediately. maybe it’s a 3 shot blast? i don’t know if those curve or not though, maybe depending on the casting animation
NPC’s can have “illegal” moves for some unknown reason, in this case your shadow casted a 2 blast barrage, making it seem like it was a (sick) new move
yeah it might be a bugged barrage where it somehow changed to 2 blasts and all the barrage damage is divided between those two
it’s definitely not regular blast because that only starts to curve at 5 amount
People keep pointing out it’s a “glitched” barrage but keep forgetting OP said they don’t have barrage in their kit. As for their comment claiming bounty NPCs and atlanteans using a similar move, that may be the actual glitched barrage that was supposedly patched.
I don’t know what their full moveset is in the clip, so my best guess is a 5+ amount blast that so happened to miss 4 shots into the ground and only one of them curved overhead.
they can also use moves you don’t have enough stat points to use (warlord file, had some moves on the wep i didn’t have enough points for and the shadow still used it)
Probably a glitched barrage that for some reason had less projectiles and most hit the ground. Or the npc somehow has a very quick attack speed and that was the only one that didn’t hit the ground
