Arrow of Many Targets is broken

[northernwater]

Let's say you have 3 targets lined up left to right in front of you.

If you shoot the middle target it will only bounce to the right target and skip the left target. If you shoot the left target it will hit all three.

This game is riddled with bugs.

So, I've never tested this with your level of thoroughness, but I have often wondered if Chain Lightning works the same way. Because, yes, it seems to me that Chain Lightning doesn't always jump from the initial target to surrounding targets in the most 'logical' way.

I guess it depends what you find logical. Jumping from one to second to third makes more sense to me than jumping from one to two other targets on opposite sides. But I didn't do any research on it either. Might try later.

The description say "three other targets in range", which my test showed to be not working.

If you use Arrow of Many Targets in the Sarevok fight first turn and shoot the left most girl in front the arrow will hit all 4 targets nicely. If you stray from that it does not. Those targets are staggered more because Sarevok is behind the other three.

I'll try it out sooner or later. It may be they have a common "many targets algorithm" and the bug is in there.
