Skill functions and interactions

Subprojectiles: Upon reaching the targeted location, Tornado Shot's projectile explodes and fires three subprojectile arrows in random directions. No target can be hit by more than one subprojectile released in this manner.

Multiple projectiles: When Tornado Shot fires additional projectiles, such as when supported by , the arrows are fired side by side, each exploding and releasing three arrows. Enemies can be hit by subprojectiles released by different parent projectiles. This makes Tornado Shot with additional projectiles particularly effective against single targets.
