Item class: Skill Gem

Splitting Steel of Ammunition is an attack which uses your sword or axe to launch a projectile that impales enemies on hit. This skill consumes Steel Shards from Call of Steel to cause the initial projectile to explode on hit or at target location to deal area of effect damage, then split towards multiple enemies which also explodes.

Changes from default version

Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version grants the Call of Steel skill, which is used to generate Steel Shards. This skill consumes 2 Steel Shard to have the projectile split to hit additional nearby enemies, otherwise it fires a single projectile that doesn't split, as how the base skill used to work before Version 3.23.0. The skill has faster base attack speed, larger base radius, and splits towards additional enemies.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Additional Projectiles: If you use the skill without any Steel Shards, it will always launch only one projectile, even if you have additional projectiles from other sources.
  • Melee: Splitting Steel is not considered a melee attack despite using melee weapons, similar to Spectral ThrowSpectral ThrowAttack, Projectile
