Piercing Shot

Piercing Shot is an offensive Huntress ability unlocked at level 20.

It fires an ethereal hawk that does high damage to ALL enemies in its straight-line path. The hawk additionally travels through all solid surfaces: walls, floors and ceilings. The damage dealt is based on the Ranged Damage (base/primary damage) of the user's weapon, their Hero Damage and this ability's stat (Ability2).

Notes/Tips

• Piercing Shot does not interrupt the user firing their weapon as normal. It is therefore free to use after every cooldown for additional DPS (assuming you have mana).
• This attack is great for taking down Wyverns, since they tend to fly in straight lines.
• Piercing Shot has the highest damage potential in the game with a Honey Gun. In Redux, the Vampiric Bone Spiker is a less powerful, but more favorable choice.
  • By combining other means to increase the hawk's damage output, like a Propeller Cat and Hero Boost, Piercing Shot can deal over 100 million damage in one hit to bosses on Nightmare and bypass any of their damage-limiting HP breaks by a longshot.
