Notes

• Like  Magic Missile, this arrow does not require a direct line of sight to the target. The arrow will curve around obstacles and walls to reach its target.
• This attack is one of the small handful of abilities without attack rolls that work with  Extra Attack.
• The hit chance shown in the preview when targeting an enemy is for the saving throw to apply  Faerie Fire.

Bugs

• Since this attack does not involve an attack roll, it does not benefit from certain bonus damage sources which check the attack roll type despite listing the additional damage on the tooltip. These include:
  •  Arcane Synergy
  •  Gloves of Archery
  •  Hunter's Mark
  •  Sharpshooter: All In
  •  Titanstring Bow
