Okay, So I am just thinking of getting a Seraphynx.
So it has the ray of light thingy right?
I heard on the forums a lot that people asked why does the ray hit so low and slow.
And then someone mentioned it was because of invincitinks.
Also, I have heard about stuff that removes invincibility frames. Like shock, Hammer Dash and whatnot but mainly shock.
The question is what happens when mobs shocked by Voltaic Tempest or Shock Vials is hit with the ray of light?
Will the numbers of damage then bounce like freaking fast?
Because I was thinking something like a Lock Down player shocked and rapidly getting shot by Antigua line.
Thanks!

You'll want to try with a vortex to be more realistic. That way it's easier to trap and lock multiple enemies in place.

But I don't think it works that way. It's like the ray has a hit limit. Think as if your antigua was able to shoot and hit, but it did zero damage.

Yea...

I was saying that what you said about antigua...
The main point is just whether the ray of lihgt will hit more/faster when shocked as shock removes invincitinks. That should be simple enough.
Thanks

Shock does not remove invincitinks.

Hitting your target less frequently.

Invincibility frames

During hammer dash, after a full combo, while charging an attack. these are times when you (from all i have seen) lose your "invincitinks". Zeddy, i know you disagree with this, these are simply what i've experienced. Hitting a hammer user with a charged Storm driver shot properly can OHKO them. The same cannot be said if they aren't mid hammer dash. hitting a bomber with a blitz charge wont kill them, unless they are charging said bomb, then OHKO.\

This is one of those things I'd love a dev to look into.

@OP

You can't use the sprite in LD anyways, so invincitinks don't matter. The way around it is to knock enemy out of ray of light, then knock them back in. Usually, you don't have enough time. Remember, too, that Seraphynx is a defensive sprite. The main thing you will use is your IDGAF shield.

Shock does remove invinciframes, which is distinct from invincitinks.

Invinciframes is when a player takes a hit and starts visibly blinking to indicate a period during which they cannot take damage from anything.

Invincitinks is when your attacks are connecting to an enemy but dealing no damage, such as when hitting a trojan's shield, or shard bombs exceeding their arbitrary hit limit.

Just as shock will not let you pass through a trojan's shield, neither will it help with seraphinx' arbitrary hit limit.
