Overview
Focused Charged Shot is a Spirit Skill Tree ability available to Kliff and Damiane. During Focused Shot or Charged Shot, you unleash a rapid volley of arrows (Kliff) or bullets (Damiane). This is the capstone of the Focused Shot progression, combining the precision of Focus mode with the burst power of Charged Shot for devastating ranged damage.
When activated, Focused Charged Shot lets you slow time while aiming, mark multiple targets simultaneously, then release to hit each marked enemy with a Charged Shot. The rapid volley deals extremely high burst damage, making it the single strongest ranged burst ability in both characters' arsenals.

Character Differences
Each character fires their respective projectile type. Kliff fires a rapid volley of arrows, while Damiane fires a burst of pistol bullets. The mechanical function is identical, but the visual presentation and synergy with each character's weapon loadout differs. For Damiane, Focused Charged Shot transforms her pistol from a simple poke tool into a multi-shot burst that can eliminate tough enemies at range.
Combat Tips
The rapid volley deals high burst damage, making it ideal for finishing off weakened enemies or hitting boss weak points during vulnerability windows.
Use the time-slow effect from Focus mode to carefully mark multiple targets before releasing the volley. Each marked enemy receives a Charged Shot hit.
At 10 Spirit per use, Focused Charged Shot is affordable and can be repeated as long as your Spirit holds out. Manage your Spirit regeneration to maintain sustained ranged pressure.
Combine Charged Shot with this skill for maximum ranged damage output. Enter Focus, mark targets, then release for a devastating barrage.
Focused Charged Shot pairs well with Focused Evasive Shot for a complete mobile ranged build. Roll to evade, snap into Focus mode, then unleash charged volleys while repositioning.
For Damiane specifically, Focused Charged Shot significantly boosts her pistol burst potential. Combined with her rapier melee, it creates a versatile close-to-mid range fighting style.
