“Punch a single enemy 8 times, each dealing a small amount of damage and piercing 1 defense.”

Overview

Barrage is one of 10 unique skills that can be learned from Frogidi's Fortunes.
Barrage has no alternative colors.

The timing for the Action Command is one second after the player stops at the target.
Succeeding the Action Command performs a 'Critical!' hit, ~~increasing the amount of Damage dealt from the first hit by 1~~ ('Critical!' hits do nothing at the moment).

Usage

Barrage deals Damage over several hits, each in addition to having 1 Defense piercing.

Compared to the other 2 SP cost Frogidi's Fortune skills: Savage Hit and Dull Rapier, Barrage deals the most total Damage of the three.

Barrage is comparable to Stunning Evil Impact in their high Damage output. Stunning Evil Impact deals slightly more Damage under a single hit, but costs 3 SP opposed to Barrage's 2 SP and multiple hits.

Due to the nature of Barrage's Damage being dispersed over the course of 8 hits, any enemy with at least 2 Defense renders the skill nearly harmless, which means the skill is best used against 1 Defense enemies.

One of the best ways to make Barrage useful is to use it against enemies that normally have 2 Defense, but have had it dropped to 1 because of the Weakness status caused by Stone Arm. This is a common strategy against enemies such as the uncorrupted Bandit King, and it is occasionally used against Burglars and Druids that are Corruption 1.

Overall, Barrage is a strong, high Damage skill, but it is also very sensitive to the amount of Defense the enemy, making the skill very situational.

Notes

Only the first hit is affected by the Power Up status and the Power Stone; the residual hits are unaffected.
- The residual hits do, however, deal extra Damage if the enemy has no Defense while inflicted with the Weakness status.
Barrage's residual hits will be completely blocked if the target has 2+ Defense.
- One of the most common mistakes made by less experienced players is using Barrage in this situation. It is always important to read the Defense of an enemy before considering which skill will be most effective against it.

Trivia

Barrage is one of the skills that appeared in Roblox's Big Adventure, the preceding title before it was renamed to Adventure Story.
This skill does not currently have any difference between its 'Critical!' and non-Critical damage.
This might be a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's stands.
