Notes

• Unlike multi-hit weapon skills, Barrage will not fire the next shot once the current hit misses the target; hence, it requires more accuracy to land the same number of hits compared to similar multi-hit weapon skills.
• Barrage can fire up to 4 shots at level 30, 5 shots at level 50, 6 shots at level 75, 7 shots at level 90, and 8 shots with the 550 Gift.
  • As of the May 10, 2011 Version Update: "the accuracy calculation will be eased with the maximum number of shots."
  • Total number of shots firable by Barrage is currently 13 (level 99 [7], 550 gift [1], ASA Legs [1], Orion Bracers +3 [3], and Lionsquall/Phineus' Gun/Quelling Bolt [1]), but due to a lack of ilvl stats on ASA legs, using them in most situations isn't applicable on difficult content. In practice, a RNG will fire a max of 12 shots on difficult content, and non-Afterglow Gastraphetes owners 11 shots.
• Barrage does not work on Throwing weapons.
• Cannot be stacked with Unlimited Shot. Overwrites Unlimited Shot if used when Unlimited Shot is active.
• Barrage is reported in the log as the sum of all fired shots, even if it passes the normal reported damage cap (99,999).
• The hidden triple damage effect of Yoichinoyumi and Annihilator has a 13% chance to proc. If it procs, it affects all hits of Barrage.
• Gives full TP return for each hit, and also gives full TP as if each hit landed to the enemy it was used upon. Ammunition with additional on-hit effects do not proc during Barrage, so using high base damage ammunition is preferred.
  • Due to this, after a successful Barrage, monsters will often perform TP moves and it can in some situations lead to death, so caution and communication are advisable in such situations.
