I do not understand shadow pinion

[carp]

OK, I'm an idiot, I know, I know, but this thing makes no sense to me. I mostly leave drills behind, but then sometimes, for no apparent reason, they shoot. I cannot for the life of me figure out what makes that happen, but it's clearly not regularly timed.

Help a moron out?

You walk, leave mines, face a direction, stop, and they all shoot at that direction.

[carp]

...stop?

Yeah, I don't tend to do that much, so no surprise it didn't happen often.

[Garou]

Pretty much the last button you press before stopping is the direction you send your attacks. Or if you stand still for a while all the projectiles will go in the same direction in a line (after you press a directional button). Useful against bosses.

My Left Mouse stops so i move around and point my character in the direction and spike the foes. It not Rocket Science.

It's awkward to control, but really its damage is just underwhelming. The reason you take the new hero is the ridiculous scaling ability. Do you know what a cat the size of godzilla does?

[Milkie]

I got used to it real quickly and its evolved form is pretty bonkers. Since you get move speed bonus with it, and ideally an increase in duration and projectiles, suddenly you're shooting a wall of horizontal high-damage beams in one direction, at-will. Especially useful in the library.

It's weak. Did the least damage of my entire kit both times I evolved it, provides no utility, and is awkward to control. Can't think of a single reason to use it over anything else.

The walk-and-stop isn't so annoying once you've used it a few times and gotten used to it. It's a good weapon, but the scaling is indeed a bit poor. I understand the reasoning for it because of the utility of being able to target as widely or as narrowly as you choose, but I think the damage should be bumped a bit higher to compensate for the need to setup.

[Stanis23]

The damage is absolutely pitiful, probably one of the lowest scaling weapons in the game for the amount of works it needs you to do. I find you tend to take more damage with the weapon because it forces you to move a certain patterns to maximize the firing but the damage is just not there to be worth.

Ahhh that's how it works, I was just coming to the forums to ask. Loving it so far.

What ever it wants.

...

then again that applies to normal sized cats as well.

You walk and you stop and it shoots. Sadly, as everyone else has pointed out, its damage is incredibly lackluster, even with max synergy it just becomes a hindrance to move around to make it do anything when 100% golems start tickling you https://i.imgur.com/ET6aLF2.png

Wow look at how bad that damage is for its evolved form. It literally needs to be buffed 3x to come close to NOFUTURE. Someone might claim you didn't play perfectly, but I found myself having the same problem where it just drops off by the time it's evolved to the point where I don't even bother using it to attack since it takes every hit of a volley to kill basic golems.

Both the Shadow Pinion and its upgrade are pure garbage. No damage, no utility, no nothing. How can you go from Cherry Bombs to this crap?

[Allor]

I don't like the weapon but one thing in particular I don't like is that if you upgrade it before you have max cooldown reduction it feels like a downgrade because the shots are so far apart on the evolved version.
