Spiral Pierce

Spiral Pierce Max Level: 5 7Requirement: Spear Mastery 10, Pierce 5, Riding 1, Spear Stab 5 Skill Form: Physical attack Description: Hits an enemy with spiraling strikes that immobilize it for a moment and inflict an amount of damage determined by Skill Level and the weight of the equipped Spear. This skill's level also affects its cast time and delay. Requires an equipped Spear. [Lv 1]: 150% factor x5 hits, 0.3 sec Cast Time, 1.2 sec After Cast Delay [Lv 2]: 200% factor x5 hits, 0.5 sec Cast Time, 1.4 sec After Cast Delay [Lv 3]: 250% factor x5 hits, 0.7 sec Cast Time, 1.6 sec After Cast Delay [Lv 4]: 300% factor x5 hits, 0.9 sec Cast Time, 1.8 sec After Cast Delay [Lv 5]: 350% factor x5 hits, 1.0 sec Cast Time, 2.0 sec After Cast Delay Comments: This skill uses your weapon's weight to calculate damage, not your ATK. The Base ATK for calculating Spiral Pierce is 80% of the Spear's weight, multiplied by the factor listed above. It is further incremented by STR and the weapon's refine rate, although both of those have only a minor effect on the damage output. This skill has its own unique size modifiers. Deals 125% damage to Small, 100% to Medium and 75% to Large. Since ATK is ignored, using flat +ATK gear does not help Spiral Pierce. However, using +% damage cards will work. This skill completely ignores enemy DEF and follows weapon element. The stopping power of Spiral Pierce is about one second long. Because the Cast Time and After Cast Delay are so long, Spiral Pierce will greatly benefit from receiving Poem of Bragi support. The heaviest and best Spear available in the vanilla game is Pole Axe, which was eventually surpassed by Hunting Spear and later, the Cardo.
