Affected By Action Speed

The NA translation retains the old outdated translation before the 03/03/2016 NA update where the shot was unable to pierce enemies.
While unlisted in the tooltip, the particle is able to pierce once.
- The piercing hit does not deal splash damage, but the final explosion (either from its duration running out or from hitting a second target) will hit everything around it.
The particle bullet gains homing properties after traveling a set distance, being able to curve quite quickly in some situations, allowing even just one enemy to be hit by the piercing hit and the explosion, even if they are right next to you.
The lightning bolt that occurs when the bullet pierces or explodes is merely for visual effect and has no practical purpose.
The [Final Enhanced] tooltip mistaken state that the cooldown of the skill is 5 seconds. The skill cooldown is still 6 seconds.
