Shattering Reflection Skill Effect

Skill Effects Per Level

Shattering Reflection Skill
Level 3 charged slashes deal area-of-effect damage upon hitting then ground.
Level Effect
1 Activates skill effect.

Deals Additional Damage on Charged Slashes

Upon using a Lv 3 charged slash, Shattering Reflection will activate, dealing an additional instance of damage upon hitting the ground. This does not have a cooldown and can be done repeatedly as long as you perform Lv 3 charged slashes.

This skill will not activate when performing a fully charged Offset Rising Slash, or during the first hit of a True Charged Slash.

Great Sword Weapon Guide and Best Combos

Additional Damage is AoE

Shattering Reflection deals area-of-effect damage, allowing you to hit multiple enemies at once, as well as deal damage to monsters that you barely miss.

Additional Damage Can Crit

Additional Damage Can Crit
The AoE damage that Shattering Reflection deals can crit, allowing you to deal more damage. It is important to note, however, that the weapons with Shattering Reflection have 0% affinity.

As such, your affinity will come from armor skills like Weakness Exploit or Agitator. Alternatively, you can also use Decorations to equip the weapon skill Critical Eye to increase your weapon's affinity.

What is Affinity?

Slightly Stronger Than a Wide Slash

Hitzone Wide Slash Shattering Reflection Damage
Front 84.3 90.3
Back 21.1 22.6

Tested on the Training Area dummy using the base Shatterseal with 190 Raw Attack.

Based on our tests, the follow-up damage is slightly stronger than a Wide Slash hitting the same hitzone. Activating Shattering Reflection on all three of your charged attacks deals almost the same damage as a Level 2 Strong Charged Slash.
