Starscourge Ash of War: Starcaller Cry
FP Cost: 20
Game Description:
Bring the two swords together and roar into the skies, pulling enemies with a gravitational wave.
Follow up with an additional input to slam down with gravity-infused swords.
Starcaller Cry is a 2-part Ash of War.
Pressing the Skill button (L2 or Left Trigger) pulls in all nearby enemies and also deals minor damage. Damage for this first part can be increased with more points in Intelligence. It can be interrupted during initial startup frames.
Pressing the Skill button a second time will cause the player will slam both swords into the ground for high damage to all nearby enemies. This skill is slow but has super armor.
The Ash of War on the Starscourge cannot be changed. Likewise, the damage type nor scaling stats cannot be changed.
Starscourge Greatsword Description
