Notes

• Each enemy is only damaged once by a single burst, regardless of how many projectiles hit.
• Liquids will slow its projectiles.

Tips

• Effective against worm-type enemies, such as Wyverns, The Destroyer, and The Eater of Worlds, since its projectiles can pierce through multiple segments.
