Spectral Shield Throw is an attack skill. The user tosses their shield at an enemy. On impact, it deals physical damage to the enemy and releases shards that deal damage to nearby enemies. Unlike most attack skills, Spectral Shield Throw uses your shield's stats to calculate damage.
Skill functions and interactions
- Projectile Modifiers: The initial projectile from Spectral Shield Throw can be modified by split, chain, fork, and return, but not to have additional projectiles or pierce. Support gems that add these effects will have their appropriate damage modifiers applied to all part of Spectral Shield Throw's damage.
- Split and fork: Split and fork create duplicates of the initial shield projectile. Regular projectile mechanics apply: per attack, each enemy can only be hit by a maximum of one outgoing and one returning shield projectile, and one secondary shard projectile.
- Shards: The shield will create shards on every collision against enemies or terrain. The shards pierce, they cannot split, fork, chain, or return. Shards cannot hit the target they are created from.
- Projectile Speed: Increased projectile speed will increase the velocity of the initial shield throw. Similarly to Ethereal KnivesEthereal KnivesSpell, Projectile, Physical
