Tips and Details
- If Rena displays the Strong Shot icon above her when firing, it means that the last shot she fired will ignore the targets' defense.
- Rail Stinger and Freezing Arrow can also activate this effect.
- A Vibe Shot will have a 100% chance to activate Strong Shot for the vibration and for the arrow that activated the vibration.
- Despite supposedly affecting all skills, there are still quite a selection of skills which remain uneffected. Neither Perfect Storm, Assault Kick, Guided Arrow, Wind Ward, Invisible Trap or Cutlass Wind seems to be included.
- Gungnir, Blast Arrow and Ace in the Hole have isolated chances for Strong Shots, in contrast to other skills fully ignoring defense or not at all (Gungnir and Ace in the Hole both have separate chances for each spear/arrow whilst Blast Arrow has separate chances with each arrow).
