Mystic Bolt (T3 Anti-Spirit Resist Mystic Shot upgrade)

[Enoki]

Mystic Bolt
3200
+14 Spirit Power (Or any Buff, this is just double mystic)
8s (same as mystic)
Your next bullet deals bonus Spirit Damage that is amplified depending on the Enemy's Spirit Resist.
90+(x1.25), Amplified by 50% their Spirit Resist. (Mystic is 65+x0.7)



Very simple, an upgraded version of Mystic Shot to help punch through spirit resist like how Armor Piercing Rounds does for Bullet Resist. Should DEFINITELY be tweaked depending on balance, but this is the idea. Ideally the damage would still apply before spirit resist, it would just have a multiplier before being reduced.

That's a good item. But it doesn't solve the problem of big spirit resist. On hit, the bullet would deal amplified damage, but then will be decreased by resist. For that, you need to apply resist reduction with damage or make it ignore some amount of resist. Maybe even some kind of debuff.

In my opinion, upgrade for Mystic Shot should be either fully-fledged source of good damage or be an instrument for preparation, like resist reduction, effect applying and etc.

True, but you don't want to have gone and bought spirit resilience and then turn around and lose a fight to a grey talon because they have an anti-resist item

I guess a middle ground is just tankbuster

cause 100 + 50% resist amp = 115 - 30% resist = 80.5
vs 100 / 30% resist = 70
alternatively it could be double inverted, so 100 + 60% double inverted resist - 30%, which is 112, still not a bad solution (and its literally just inverting and ignoring, as its +30%)

I just don't think it would be interesting or fun to have a bunch of items that ignore resist, tankbuster being the only is enough
