Notes

The area of effect for Sharp Shooting is a little tricky and almost unique in the game. The line algorithm is likely the same as the one used for the final resting place of objects pushed by Arrow Repel.

• Maximum distance from the targeted object is 9 cells.
• The full damage area extends 12 cells from the caster, along the line from caster to target, as determined by a Bresenham-type algorithm, and the cells immediately tangent to this line. Covers 3x12 cells.
• Monsters in the 13th cell along the line receive reduced damage.
• Sharp Shooting has a 20% base chance of bypassing enemy defense and flee and is also increased by the Sniper's CRIT rate.
  • The chance to bypass defense with this skill is also lowered depending on the opponent's LUK (Also known as Crit Shield).
  • The chance to bypass defense with Sharp Shooting is calculated as [ (crit rate + 20) - (monster's luk/5) ]%. Crit/LUK gear is recommended to maximize the chance of bypassing defense with this skill.
