Three-Shaft Volley, Over the Shield

What it does

Hurl 5 javelins from the pack high into the air one after another (wind-up 0.45 s); 0.9 s later they fall inside a 3-tile circle round the cursor (up to 12 tiles away), 0.08 s apart, each on its own seeded spot (hash of the throw) marked on the ground by a 1 px cross for the whole fall. Each strikes a 1-tile radius: area power 0.65 to every foe under it (foe-only), poise 8, and pins S foes 1.0 s (spear pin). They come from above: walls and cover don't stop them and shields and guards don't block them. A foe at the centre is usually under 4 of them (2.6). Fewer javelins: fewer fall, same cost.

Edge: Sixth Shaft

Six javelins fall instead of five.
