Bat Volley

The Bat Volley is a power skill added in the Return to Castlevania DLC. It throws a flurry of moving bats that deal critical damage after passing through one enemy.

Details

• Special Effects:
  • Summons a pack of bats that fly forwards and hit any enemy it passes through
    • Deals critical damage after passing through an enemy.
    • Stops when hitting a wall.
• Tags: Ranged
• Legendary Version:
  • Forced Affix: Big Brains
    • "Bats turn back upon colliding with a wall"

Synergies

• Items that greatly displace enemies (eg. Spartan Sandals, Tornado, Hand Hook^TQatS) can be used to move enemies along with the bats, ensuring continuous critical damage.
• The legendary version synergizes well with the Emergency Door.
• The bats can travel very long distances, potentially allowing for the use of the Tranquility.
• The bats summoned by this skill are considered a ranged attack and therefore work with ranged mutations such as Point Blank.

Notes

• Upon activation the player is locked in the animation until all the bats are deployed and therefore it's recommended to use this skill from afar.
• The bats are destroyed upon colliding with force fields.
