Projectile finisher

This article is about the combo finisher. For the generic game mechanic, see Projectile.

A Projectile finisher is a skill that can create a combo effect by interacting with a combo field. Projectile effects are applied directly to the skill's target, or, in case of the Water and Light fields, to a single ally adjacent to the target. Projectile finishers are unique among finishers insofar that some projectiles, particularly those from skills with no cooldown and that fire multiple projectiles, will only combo 20% of the time. For such skills, the combo indicator will still appear and the projectile will take on the visual appearance of the combo, but will not necessarily apply the additional effect. Piercing projectiles will apply the combo effect to every enemy hit.
