Penetrating Shot is one of the Rogue’s powerful Core Skills, which allows them to deal a large amount of damage that damages enemies in a line.
This Core Skill can be enhanced with the Trickshot Aspect, allowing the Rogue to damage even more enemies starting from the point of impact of the shot.
Trickshot Aspect takes effect whenever an enemy is hit by Penetrating Shot, and this causes additional arrows to split off of it.
Trickshot Aspect Effects (Penetrating Shot Aspect)
The Trickshot Aspect modifies Penetrating Shot by causing 2 arrows to split off from it going to either side, which is where it gets the name “Trickshot.”
The arrows that split from Penetrating Shot will deal a smaller amount of damage based on a certain percentage of the skill’s base damage.
This gives you a way to deal damage not only in a straight line with Penetrating Shot but also damage enemies on the sides.
Trickshot Aspect Location
The Trickshot Aspect can be unlocked by completing the Bastion of Faith Dungeon, which can be found in the Umir Plateau. (Hawezar)
