Details

Celestial Spike being used on a Feral Brown Wolf.

Celestial Spike planted on a Feral Brown Wolf.

• Binds divine spikes onto a single target, dealing damage over time and decreases their Movement Speed.
  • Girgashiy Apostles will receive a lock-down effect when used after Shield of Trust and have their damage reduction (%) dropped by 3% per rank (Ex: Rank Novice drops 3%, Rank 1 drops 3x16=48%) for the Smiting duration, causing Judgment Blade to hit for more damage.
    • The damage reduction drop (%) of Celestial Spike stacks in additive for each Celestial Spike used on downed Girgashiy Apostles.
    • A total of 98% damage reduction drop is needed to give 100% damage to the landing Judgment Blades.
      • Which means a total of 33 Celestial Spike Ranks are needed. (Ex: only 3 stacks needed - 2 being Rank 1 and one Rank Novice or higher - , or more stacks if lower ranks - so it will have 33x3=99% damage reduction drop)
    • Total Celestial Spike Rank of 7 (Rank A) or higher is required for the lock-down effect in Easy difficulty. (Ex: Rank Novice is 1, Rank A is 7, Rank 1 is 16)
    • For higher difficulties, at least total rank of 17 or higher is required for Normal and 27 or higher for Hard.
      • Have more players use Celestial Spike to stack up for the required amount of rank in higher difficulties.
  • Health reduction effect stacks with other damage over time effects such as Poison Attack or Mirage Missile, ignores Passive Defense, Invulnerability, and Mana Shield during damage calculation, and can lower a target's HP past 0 and can kill.
  • Damage over time cannot score criticals nor inflict wounds.
  • Damage over time is not influenced by the player's damage range.
  • Damage over time is reduced by the target's magical Defense and Protection.
  • The attacked enemy will aggressively aggro.
  • Will ignore obstacles such as Barrier Spikes.
  • Does not break the sleeping effects of Lullaby, Restful Wind, or Sleepy Dust.
    • Does not break the blind effect of Sand Burst, although the enemy will aggro through it.
  • If player casts Celestial Spike on a target that is currently affected by another player's Celestial Spike, the previous spike's effect will be cut short, and replaced with the new one.
    • The damages will stack, however.
• Does not count as an attack, allowing Elves to Hide after using it.
• The following subskills passively enhance Celestial Spikes:
  • Deepening Trust: Using Celestial Spike will restore the user's Mana.
  • Spreading Faith: Increases Celestial Spike' range.
  • Wounding Soul: Increases Celestial Spike' damage.
  • Weighed Conscience: Causes Celestial Spike to decrease the Movement Speed of enemies near the affected target.
  • Sinful Thorns: Causes Celestial Spike to deal damage over time to enemies near the affected target.
  • For allocating Crusader levels towards Celestial Spike's subskills, the following bonuses can be applied:
    • Every 5 levels allocated into Binding increases Celestial Spike's attack range by 5cm.
    • Every 7 levels allocated into Binding increases Celesital Spike's damage by 5.
• Shares its cooldown with Judgment Blade and Shield of Trust.
• Can be interrupted by normal attacks during execution animation, resulting in the skill to be cancelled and entering cooldown.
  • Rank 1 Celestial Spike can be reach by only using the skill.

Training Method

Training Tips

• Very hard mode Girgashiy's summons count for apostle kills in ranks 4 to 1. These can be used to easily train this requirement.
  • The Mineral Wolves have very low amounts of HP and can easily be killed with full HP in one use of Celestial Spike.
• Skill training seals from the Adventurer's Seal Shop are highly recommended for rank 4 and rank 3 if you can not easily access Girgashiy Very hard mode.
