Mergen Tripple Arrow question , please help

Hello, everyone, please explain to me how this skill works, how many strokes will Tripple Arrow it inflict if I shoot them in a group of monsters?
I saw a video where this skill was applied to the group then for two hits, then for six or more strokes, please explain how many strokes this skill does

(I know that skill 2 charge I’m interested in the number of strokes after clicking a skill)

In a simple way: your aoe attack ratio = 0, no circling apply

  • Triple arrow works like this: shot 3 arrows into a monster (you need to close to that monster - such as barrage, but just 3 arrows). Then that monster explodes (sound funny, hah?) to others monster around it, the damager seem to be equal to (sum of 3 arrows) x 1.5 (I dont know, need testing later) - crit attack do not get multiply.
  • Example: you shot 2 yellow caro (330k hp), all arrows hit 1 of them, each arrow deal 20k damage:
  • The caro get hits by 3 arrows: lose 60k hp.
  • The caro get hit by explosion: lose ~80-90k hp. (In my ex. my crit attack is around 1k~1k1)

In the complex way: your aoe attack ratio enough to pass 2-3 monster, maybe with circling apply, etc.

  • Triple arrow may hit all the monster (3 arrows), then explode to each others (theoretically).
  • Practically, your aar enough to pass all the monster, but some monster may get hit 2 or 1 arrows, then explode to each others.
  • Ex: aoe attack ratio = 5, no circling, monster (x4 yellow caro -S size-, x1 colimen -M size-):

Thank you very much for the information, tell me please by how many strokes does the skill Koochaksal ?

Do you mean homing arrow (if I remember correctly the name)?
If true, the answer is 5 true multi hits. But aoe attack gear cannot handle this case, you need to reduce all the aoe defend ratio to 0 (now, the only way is Circling!?). Then your Homing arrow could hits all monsters (in case all monster aoe defend reduced to 0)

Thank you again and if you can tell me please I can not decide the Cannoneer or mergen, my build full dex, like in the update he became stronger, what do you advise me?

I prefer mergen, since I picked funded-myself path (scout3 one). Well, follow your heart.
Btw, what is your previous class?

Growling look good xD

I’m an Archer 2 -> Hunter 3 -> Falconer -> Scout -> Mergen and honestly I’m having more fun playing with it instead of my Pyro Linker. :stuck_out_tongue:

It was a hell to level it but it was all worth it in the end.

for answer you have to know how aoe attack ratio and defense work in this game. And also take in consideration that circling can fail.

i will just quote the infinite @greyhiem knowledge from another topic:[quote=“greyhiem, post:68, topic:351712”]
Monster resist circling = keep original AoE-def. So your AoE skill will hit this mob first (always hits highest AoE-def mob first). This is why resist circling is very annoying for mergen. Homing arrow splash will fail because of a high AoE def mob. Homing arrow range is a box square box in front of your character.

Triple arrow depends on hitbox AoE and direction. Like shotgun (ranger barrage type).
For example, if you hug debuffed mob, and a resist mob is behind it --> you will hit debuffed mob 3x and the resist mob 1-3x (depends on distance). All mobs behind resist mob will not get hit even if they have circling debuff.

I don’t have any oracle scroll to show hitbox.
My chicken will show ->

Close small enemy (point blank) easy to get all hits.
Big enemy gets all hits even when far (boss).
Some enemies 2 hits depending on location and enemy size.

Enemy might block arrows.

Without sufficient support (falcon circling, linker) mergen will be difficult to use for AoE. You will still deal damage but hit less mobs, so don’t forget you still deal damage and are contributing to dps just less efficient. Mergen turns into boss burster. Arrow rain and point blank triple arrow are nice boss burst skills.
