Spectral Shield Throw is an attack skill. The user tosses their shield at an enemy. On impact, it deals physical damage to the enemy and releases shards that deals damage to nearby enemies. Unlike most attack skills, Spectral Shield Throw uses your shield's stats to calculate damage.
Skill functions and interactions[ | ]
- Projectile Modifiers: The initial projectile from Spectral Shield Throw can be modified to chain and fork, but not to have additional projectiles or pierce. Support gems that add these effects will have their appropriate damage modifiers applied to all part of Spectral Shield Throw's damage.
- Fork: Fork splits the initial shield throw into two projectiles, which can then each individually chain or hit. Secondary projectiles (Shards) pierce by default and therefor are unmodifiable in functionality.
- Shards: The shield will only explode into shards after it is done forking and chaining. The shards can pierce.
- Projectile Speed: Increased projectile speed will increase the velocity of the initial shield throw. Similarly to Ethereal KnivesEthereal KnivesSpell, Projectile, Physical, Duration
