1818 The Proficiency upgrade turns Smiting Bolt from a single-shot ability into a sustained barrage. Hold R2 and Damiane will continue calling down spears until the button is released or Stamina runs out. Each spear still costs the same 40 Stamina as the base cast, so plan for a three-or-four-spear volley per Stamina bar rather than an unlimited rain.

2020 The barrage is especially effective when enemies are clumped together by Storm Pillar. Each descending spear carries its own area of effect, which means the group takes repeated damage as long as they stay grouped up. For groups that refuse to stay still, upgrade to Smiting Bolt Sure Hit to guarantee that each spear in the volley lands on its intended target.
