Notes

• The random trajectory of the petals makes this staff function similarly to a shotgun, and it is much more effective at short range or against large enemies, as more of the petals will be able to hit the enemy.
• Conversely, the wide and random spread of the petals also makes this weapon proficient at crowd control, as it can damage many enemies at once.
