Piercing Shot

"Dodge this, I dare ya."

―Anna, Epic Battle Fantasy 4

Piercing Shot is a weapon-elemental skill available for Anna in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5.

Description[]

Upon casting, Anna carefully aims an arrow, with her entire body glowing white for a moment before she fires it at the foe. This deals moderate weapon-elemental damage with extremely high Accuracy and a boosted critical hit chance; in EBF5, it also ignores the target's defensive buffs.

Piercing Shot is guaranteed to hit its target in just about any realistic combat situation, unless Anna's Accuracy is heavily debuffed and the foe's Evade is heavily buffed. It also has a high critical hit rate like Snipe, meaning that it can be used as a more reliable version of Anna's Normal Attack; this is especially true in EBF5, where Piercing Shot has no cooldown time, allowing Anna to use it repeatedly with no penalties of any kind.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4[]
