Blitz Beat (Alt: Blitz Beat) is a 2^nd class offensive skill available as Hunter and Sniper.

Effect

Commands the Falcon to dive at a single target and strike repeatedly to inflict piercing ranged damage to all enemies in a 3x3 area around the target. This skill ignores the accuracy check and can be autocast when physically attacking with a bow, in which case no SP is consumed and the total damage will spread equally between all affected enemies.

Level	Hits Inflicted	SP Cost
1	1	10
2	2	13
3	3	16
4	4	19
5	5	22

Damage = 80 + Steel_Crow_Lv × 6 + Floor(INT ÷ 2) × 2 + Floor(DEX ÷ 10) × 2

Notes

• Despite the animation, all damage is connected in one single bundle.
• Damage is unaffected by every form of damage modifier.
• Bypasses defensive benefits such as Guard, Parry and Weapon Blocking.

Auto-Blitz Beat

• Can be triggered even if the attack misses or is blocked.
• For every 3 points of LUK the chance of auto-cast is increased by 1%.
• Does not have Cast Time, but does have Cast Delay. Cast Delay, however, does not prevent blitzes from being triggered.
• The number of times this skill will hit its target via auto-cast depends on the level of this skill and the user's Job Level. Job Levels 1-9 allow it to hit up to one time, while Job Levels 40 or higher allow the maximum of 5 hits if this skill is mastered.
