Thanks for repeating what the guide already told us. A+

A lot of guides did not have any info on march 3rd

try leveling mind you noob

At some point FP cost doesn't matter due to high stats and having 10 magic flasks. This spell is great for the damage it does for how fast it casts, tracking, and how fast it moves in the air. Combine with the charge spell talisman and you can cast this facing any direction. It's also great for horseback battles since it had ok range and you can cast it while facing opposite direction.

It has a niche in enemies that you can target weakpoints in, like Dragons, as its long range and excellent tracking make hitting them very effective. In PvE against rolling enemies the tracking and delayed nature of the later shots means it can easily hit rolling enemies - they only dodge the first firing of the spell and not the rest. I don't know about its effectiveness against enemies that use guard however.

Most high-INT-requiring spells tend to be very FP inefficient. They're only practical to use with extensive Mind investment, typically to ensure you have enough FP to cast them at least 4-5 times continuously without needing to down a Cerulean pot. Generally they're really only better than Glintstone Pebble due to higher DPS, additional effects like superior poise/guard breaking (Rock Sling), better ability to defeat dodging enemies (Night Comet), or inflicting status effects (Renalla's Full Moon/Ranni's Dark Moon, Night Maiden's Mist, Adula's Moonblade).

It's INCREDIBLE for PVP. You cannot dodge enough to dodge all the shots it is guaranteed good damage and can outright one-shot players if they don't spam roll lol
Outside of that you can spam this with the infinite FP physick against highly mobile bosses that you cant use Comet Azur or Astel's Meteor against.

The Axe Talisman does not change the damage, this is not an "attack", its a spell. I do 1090 with or without it.

WhoaDang this spell benefits from Godfrey's icon not the Axe talisman.

Just tested. Does not seem to be the case.

It's really great for PVP as it's almost guaranteed damage due to the tracking and number of projectiles. PVE it's actually really strong for hyper-mobile bosses to spam with the infinite FP physick since you can't do good damage with comet azur or meteor sorceries on those. Definitely niche for PVE.

Sorry mate but you do can dodge roll it.

Sorry buddy you don't can't doge roll it as at least one the 12 stars will hit you betwen i-frames

roll twice to the side, get hit by 0-2 stars, taking about the same damage as from pocket sand. if you are low HP however, you've basically lost at that point (same as pocket sand)
