Steel Arrow: Bloodfly burst setup

Trade Paralysis for Steel Arrow and build burst around Bloodfly hits. Higher damage potential comes with a harder setup and less reliable control.

Key decisions

Earn the burst

Land Bloodfly hits, then use the fully drawn Steel Arrow interaction.

Three hits are harder than they look

More Bloodfly hits raise the setup’s payoff but cost time, accuracy and energy.

Know what you gave up

Without Paralysis, do not expect the same control sequence as the newer Barbed/Paralysis build.
