Spectral Helix is an attack skill. It throws the current melee weapon, making it spin in a large spiral, damaging enemies in its path. If the weapon collides with walls, it bounces a number of times.
Skill Functions and Interactions
- Projectile speed has no effect on the projectile's lifetime. Decreasing Spectral Helix's projectile speed will increase the total number of projectiles you can have up at a time at the cost of reducing how fast it can cover its trajectory.
- Sniper's Mark - Projectiles that hit the marked enemy have their behavior overridden by the mark, they no longer spiral.
- Fork/Chain/Pierce - As the projectile will inherently pierce enemies, Fork and Chain will have no effect.
- Additional Projectiles - Sources of additional projectiles, such as Lesser Multiple Projectiles SupportLesser Multiple Projectiles SupportSupport, Projectile
