Npc exclusive move?

ods

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

Doesn’t leviathan do that too

It’s a glitched barrage, so unfortunately nothing new

Though this does give me ideas for a new spell type

technically i guess

except her sharks are intended and deal like 900 damage total

Jar Ivar has several unique attacks, including a hand that grabs you from afar and performs a grab,

Ormolu can summon warriors with swords to try and attack us, etc.

The [Fixed] really adds the insult to the injury

Hey so apparently that is a new patchnote which I didn’t know at the time of writing this, I thought it was a FR patch

not to necro-bump but you called it right the first time, the bug is in fact still in the game lmao

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.

it’s a 2 amount barrage, you can clearly see how one of the two blasts hits the ground

maybe the shadow just fills up empty slots with random spells

yeah in my case the shadow just copies your magic/relics and nothing else, ive had my shadow launch arrays at me and ive never once used the move

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
