| It will cause any target it hits to blink, with a tendency towards blinking further away from the one who threw it. |
The dispersal brand is only found on darts. It causes ammunition to force enemies that it damages to blink semi-randomly, usually away from the shooter. It does not check willpower, but can miss, and fails against stationary monsters (e.g. statues, oklob plants).
Darts of dispersal are single-use; they will always mulch after being thrown.
Tips & Tricks
- You don't need to keep dispersal darts quivered to have easy access to them, and probably don't want to be using them for most fights anyway; just hit F and select them from your inventory to fire.
- You cannot target yourself with this effect.
- The dart needs to hit for the blink effect to occur, so investing a few levels into Throwing can be helpful.
History
- Prior to 0.31, the dispersal brand could be found on boomerangs, not darts. In addition, dispersal boomerangs needed to deal damage in order to cause the blink effect.
- Prior to 0.30, mulched items did not deal extra damage.
- Prior to 0.24, tomahawks existed and could have this brand.
- Prior to 0.18, arrows could be branded, including with dispersal.
- Prior to 0.15, dispersal darts also existed.
