Portal Projectile
Portal Projectile is a level 3 Translocations spell which grants your ranged weapons smite-targetting.
Contents
Effect
When cast Portal Projectile (PProj) status is gained. While this status is active ranged attacks use smite-targetting allowing you to attack any target in your line of sight regardless of units in between, and with substantially increased accuracy based on spell power. Each ranged attack while Portal Projectile is active costs 1 additional MP; if you run out of MP, your projectiles travel normally until you regain MP.
Like with all smite-targetting, all walls block Portal Projectile, even if you can see through them.
Strategy
- Its low spell level makes it easy for most characters to master. Any player focused on ranged attacks can benefit from it.
- Portal Projectile makes taking out summoners hiding behind a pack of summoned fodder easy. Even better is when you have your own pack of summons and you can still fire without risk of hitting them.
- Alternatively, if you can pin a weak monster between yourself and something dangerous, you can pelt the threat while it waits patiently for the weak foe to get out of the way.
- While most ammo brands will still function as normal with this spell, the returning and penetration brands are disabled.
