    actually I'm a big dumb dumb and some wiki's do mention the edge damage, but not the direct hit radius. I noticed this while throwing urns at slugs in the swamp, water detection is pretty janky there I thought they almost coded the slugs to act like water... but nah.

    It was likely originally designed to continue arcing to new targets everytime it found another within it's range, as a form of *chain lightning* attack. Ie: everytime the expanding hitboxes struck a valid target then those targets would emitt more expanding hitboxes too, and further and further, to end up perhaps chaining together a long chained row of 8+ (maybe infinite?) enemies as long as the gap between any 2 was never too big.
    But they must've ended up scrapping the mechanic.

    The expanding smoke hitbox was reused for the vocano pots swarm pots and fly pot (yes the roped version has a different name for some reason) in elden ring.
    My guess is that it's there to make it easier to land all more hits on a moving target
    Also for some reason volcano pots deal fire damage but don't detonate powder kegs.
    Miyazaki please explain.

  • @art1099

    My guess is it’s coded to spawn the balls any time it hits anything that isn’t terrain, and then it checks that what it hit has the arc property (like water or swamp) to determine if the balls move or not.

    Maybe someone tried adding an attribute to lighting attacks where they can arc from enemy to enemy allowing you to create chains, but then gave up, or forgot, midway through and left it as is. Similar to that one illusory wall in Elden ring. Where instead of just putting a normal wall there, they raised the health of the illusory wall to an obscene amount and hoped no one would notice.

    Would agree with the others that it's likely some variant of a chain mechanic that did not fully make it in. Would be interesting to see how this relates to other such weird interactions though...lightning on water, fire on oil, maybe even that weird wetness you could have in ds2 from the iron keep urns or healing pools. Hitboxes come dangerously close to being useful data, but if this has not been discovered yet, it likely has no practical application

    I think its a trigger that detects collision with an entity, water perhaps is classified as such, and triggers the expansion, but normal enemies when hit directly do not cause the expansion of the secondary hitboxes like water does, so direct hits just have a slight bit of extra damage and a tiny bit of extra range as a result of this code being set up this way.

    Did yo check is point blank Sunlight spear caused the same? i think i remember that the spear sweet spots generate a extra hitbox too

    When i played ds3, i had noticed a little delay at the hits that the mobs took after i threw a bomb, and now i know what it was : )

    "You've urned this" is the most painful joke I've ever heard, I have to find ways to use it now.
