Sky Shot | Elden Ring Wiki

This should have worked like thunderbolt

-teleported arrow above head user like rain of arrows
-chain shots
-thunder speed shots or tracking to actually land
-damage wont be an issue if is easy to land since headshots critical damage

If this had any sort of tracking it might have been okayish.

I'm no expert in balance, I just play the games a lot, but I can tell you could buff this skill a ton and it still wouldn't be overpowered, so I feel like conservatively suggesting buffs to this because it's funny how bad this is:

-The time between the arrow being fired and the arrow landing should be at most 0.5 seconds instead of ~2.5.
-The arrow should teleport like in the Rain of Arrows Skill instead of going up then hitting the ceiling 50% of environments have.
-The arrow speed should be faster. Since we're using the Rain of Arrows arrow movement, the arrow will spawn very high up (if there is space), and if it's fast it'll actually gain some utility, like punishing players walking in a Skill stance/drinking a flask, or punishing players below a low ceiling that don't roll, or punishing players that are using buffs.
-Since the arrow doesn't track and tracking seems to be a semi-rare, very valuable property, the damage multiplier compared to normal firing should go from ~1.3x (remember to learn about defenses vs damage negation) to at least 3x. I know 3x seems like a lot, but normal firing is incredibly weak so it has to be at least 3x.
-We mentioned higher damage multiplier, right? But, I think FromSoftware forgets arrows with status effects exist. Higher arrow damage multiplier should generally be combined with higher status build-up multipliers. If I'm not mistaken the Mighty Shot Skill has higher build-up. So, considering that, and considering that this skill is very situational, hard to hit, and very slow (build-up decays over time so slowness effectively decreases status build-up), let's just give the status build-up a multiplier of at least 3x.
-FP cost maybe should go up. This Skill's animation is very slow, therefore the effectiveness should be very high, and high ranged Skill effectiveness should be paired with higher FP costs. But it's still very risky, So it maybe should go up to ~10 FP or something like it? Maybe less?

So, how much is that? Around 4x faster time to perform, 2x the environments in which it can work, 2x faster arrow speed, and a 2.3x damage multiplier buff.
4*2*2*2.3 = 36.8 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE AND IT STILL WOULDN'T BE OP. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? DO THEY EVEN CARE ABOUT BOWS? I'M STILL DROPPING INPUTS EACH TIME I START MOVING AND ATTACK AT THE SAME TIME. I STILL GET INPUTS MISINTERPRETED INTO FIRING A NORMAL ARROW WHEN I STOP USING BARRAGE AND TRY TO ROLL. I'M STILL GETTING ROLLS SCAMMED BY THE INCOMPETENT DEV THAT THOUGHT YOUR ROLL SHOULDN'T TRIGGER ON BUTTON PRESS AND ALSO SHOULD DISINTEGRATE INTO A SPRINT AFTER 1 SECOND. SUCH A LUST FOR MEDIOCRITY. WHOOOOOOOOOOO?!

Sekiro is the best FromSoftware game. It is a fact.

this is garbage

How have I never heard of this thing ?!?

This shouldve had a targeting system similar to magic glintblade; instead of targeting the exact lock on location as the shot is being made (which will almost always miss because enemies ****ing moves), only target the enemy when the arrow is falling.

Neat trick shot. Literally useless in actual combat aside from ambush.

Submit

This should not cost any FP. It requires the target to be still for 5 seconds, and can only be used locked-on.

Submit

fp cost us 2 not zero for me

It'd be nice if there were gifs of the ashes of war on each page
