How this skill works

An enemy-directed basic attack starts one turret stream if none is running. First launch: +0.4s; impact: another 0.2s later. Further launches are 0.16s apart (6.25 shots/s). Each shot snapshots the basic packet × 2.75 × (1 − 0.5) × skill value / 10,000. The packet retains its physical/elemental mix and uses normal hit defenses and crits.

Formulas, timing and additional rules

Rank and scaling

Rank 1: 165 + 47 × 1 = 212, before mastery/synergy. This is stored rating, not damage; 10,000 stored units normally represents 100%. Hero damage base is the sum of the five direct damage channels, not displayed DPS.

Must be equipped

A permanent skill is active while assigned to an active skill slot. Learning a rank alone does not equip it. Passive stat support and extra attack deliveries are separate mechanics.

Reserved skill budget

Only 50% of the reference stat value is applied as the listed stat; the rest is reserved for this skill's extra delivery. Here the applied stat contribution is 106 stored units (1.06%).

Turret lifetime and targeting

The helper stores a 4s visual aim marker, but the reviewed shot scheduler does not stop at that marker. It continues while the owner is alive and a live enemy can be chosen, preferring the current target. This is not a new turret per basic attack, and the nominal marker must not be treated as a fixed damage duration.

Worked example

Rank 1, skill value 212, basic packet 1,000: each turret shot = 1,000 × 2.75 × 0.5 × 212 / 10,000 = 29.15 raw damage. Steady stream: 182.188 raw DPS before defenses; first impact is 0.6s after the trigger.

Combat formulas and assumptions →Raw packets are before target defenses. Examples follow the reference hero inputs above; live modifiers and special encounters can change the result.
