Lancing Steel

Lancing Steel is an attack which uses your sword or axe to generate a cluster of shards that fires projectiles sequentially. The projectiles have a chance to impale on hit. This skill consumes Steel Shards from Call of Steel to fire more projectiles per cluster.

Skill functions and interactions

Steel Shards: Equipping this skill grants the Call of Steel ability, which is used to generate Steel Shards. This skill consumes up to 4 Steel Shards to launch 50% more projectiles per Steel Shard used.
Melee: Lancing Steel is not considered a melee attack despite using melee weapons, similarly to Spectral Throw.
