Shattering Crystal Lore

Shattering Crystal Effects

Creates a mass of crystals that shatters and bursts forward. This spell can be charged which increases its damage output. You can also use this spell while in motion.

Its damage will depend on its charge. It takes at least 3 seconds for the spell to be fully charged which is quite slow when in combat.

How to Get Shattering Crystal

How to Use Shattering Crystal

Medium-Ranged Arc AoE

This skill produces an arc with a decent range in front of the caster which could take on several enemies in front of the user.

Can Be Cancelled

Taking damage while casting this spell can interrupt it if your character has low Poise, so casting it from a safe distance while an enemy approaches is the safest option.

Alternatively, you can use an Ironjar Aromatic to give you super armor, allowing you to cast this spell regardless of whether you're attacked while casting or not.
