Notes

• Deals both physical Pierce and Magic damage. Intelligence provides its strongest scaling contribution, with smaller Dexterity and Strength contributions to its damage.
• Each throw normally costs 1 FP. It needs no staff or memorized sorcery and does not use the Sorcery Scaling of the staff in your hands.
• Repeated hits can make susceptible constructs, including Imps and Erdtree Burial Watchdogs, malfunction and attack nearby creatures. This is especially useful when several constructs occupy one room.
• A malfunctioning construct is not a safe permanent ally. It can still hurt you, so keep clear while it attacks the other enemies.
• Do not assume every stone-looking creature qualifies. The special reaction depends on the actual enemy, and there is no universal fixed dart count that applies to all constructs.
• One craft makes five darts from three Cracked Crystals. Its damage and construct reaction are separate from standard Poison, Sleep or Blood Loss.
