Blacksky Eye — Bloodborne

Stats and requirements

Attribute scaling · attack power by level

Published attack power, before the target’s defence; this is not a guaranteed damage value.

Usage · effects and conditions (wiki)

With a requirement of only 16 arcane, you do not need to invest a lot to be able to use this attack, and it has a lot of qualities that can help fill gaps in your existing arsenal. Even with the minimum stat requirement it deals good damage, easily out-damaging most firearms unless they have been significantly upgraded, while still only using 1 QS Bullet per shot. The S rank scaling it has also gives it decent damage growth should you invest more points into arcane. If you're locked on to an enemy that is either directly below or above you, this attack will compensate and still hit them, just like with firearms. It also has slightly more range than firearms, so if you're facing another player in PvP that likes to keep you away with guns, you can use this to outrange them. While you can move during the initial part of the casting animation where your character puts their fingers to their temple, once the projectile actually starts to fire you'll be locked in place and unable to move for a short period of time. The extra range this attack provides can help offset the animation lock, because if you're using it at max range, it's highly unlikely that another player could reach you before you can move again. You can use it to knock down small enemies such as any of the Dog varieties. You cannot, however, interrupt an opponent with it. Another major benefit is the fact that it is practically silent, so it is an excellent alternative to a Pebble if you're looking to pull individual enemies out of groups. You can also use it to stealthily kill enemies without alerting others nearby to your presence.
