- ~10 sec (shorter at higher domain tier)
Overview
While firing, grows Skeletron hands to assist. Taking damage destroys one hand. At range they throw bones; up close they slap
Research note
It has more than four hands!
Mechanics
Each shot while cooldown is ready grows one Skeletron arm if you are below the cap. Cooldown starts around 10 seconds and can drop to about 5 seconds with domain layers. Cap is 2 plus domain layers divided by 3, about 2 to 5 arms. At cap, cooldown still ticks but no new arm spawns.
Arms seek enemies within about 50 tiles. Beyond about 25 tiles they charge and throw 5 to 8 bones in a fan. Up close they swipe, slam, or sweep. Only the melee segment deals direct damage.
When you take a hit, the newest arm shatters. Arms follow your facing.
Tips
Works best at mid range with some standing room; use thrown bones to finish distant targets. Arms are capped and lost on hit, so avoid face-tanking in melee
