Projectile
Projectiles are effects in the game which are produced by a spell or ranged attack which start at the player's position, then travel independently of their creator until they collide with a wall or enemy.
Projectile Effects
When a projectile collides with an enemy, one of five things can happen.
These effects are prioritized in this order. For example, if a projectile can fork once and chain three times, and continuously collides with enemies, it will first fork, then chain three times, then end on the next enemy hit. However, if it is given a 100% chance to pierce, it will not fork or chain at all, and will simply continue until it collides with a wall or reaches its maximum range.
Pierce
If a projectile pierces an enemy, it deals damage to any enemy it collides with and continuous on the same path.
Fork
If a projectile forks, it deals damage to any enemy it collides with, then becomes two identical projectiles which each travel at a 45(?) degree angle from the projectile's original path.
Chain
If a projectile chains, it deals damage to any enemy it collides with, then changes its course to another nearby enemy. (Does Chain prioritize certain enemies?)
End
If a projectile strikes an enemy but does not do any of the above, it deals damage to the enemy it collided with and ceases to exist. Some projectiles have special effects when they hit an enemy and do not do any of the above. For example, Fireball deals Area of Effect damage when it ends, but not if it Pierces, Forks, or Chains.
