Tips and Details
- Most of this path's skills count as arrow-using skills. The exceptions are Perfect Storm, Assault Kick, Wind Wall (Force) and Cutlass Wind. Everything else has its damage increased and can trigger Strong Shot
- Whenever Strong Shot triggers, an icon will be visible above Rena.
- For most skills, when Strong Shot triggers it means the entire skill will ignore defense, though this is not always the case:
- Siege Mode can trigger it per individual Z or X input, and all arrows fired by said input will ignore defense.
- Each individual hit in Shooting Magnum, Rapid Shot, Gungnir, Freezing Arrow, Blast Arrow and Ace in the Hole will trigger it separately.
- Both [Mod] Gungnir and [Mod] Freezing Arrow gain the effect on cast for the entire skill however.
- Only the arrows fired in Blast Arrow can trigger it, not the storm. (The storm does still receive the passive's 10% damage increase however)
- Aero Strafe's two damage parts will trigger it separately, but the explosion will fully ignore defense if it triggers it, not per hit.
