Homing Arrow Buff

[Flashlight237]

I think I have a better idea for buffing Homing Arrow, but it isn't 100%.

1. Buff its power from 10% per stage to 15% per stage.
2. Add this new branch to it:

Multi-Homers
Levels: 2
MP Cost: 2 per level
Effect: +1 Homing Arrow per level.

I mean that should be significant: 150% at 10 MP to an equivalent of of 525% max at 14 MP, and the arrows just home in, ensuring no failure? Why not?

The problem isn't that it's weak, the problem is that it costs too much MP at higher levels for any meaningful use

Read the OP some more.

Spending 10 mana per ball with 150% (175% in your view) isn't fair! Gunners literally have x3 damage for 0 mana and some coin.

Yes, but with the branch, you'd be going upwards 14 MP per shot with upwards 525%. It's called reading.

Which again is weaker than the new arrow hoard when combining sll the arrows for nearly half the cost

10 mp would have been enough. It should look like a 1-2 use kill to kill bots with 50-100k damage and spending no more than 15 mana.

Yes, but they have a higher attack rate still (132 uses per minute vs 90), so it kinda evens out (especially when you literally don't have to aim or waltz up to anything; you just kinda camp, especially when the arrows can just fly to the next living opponent when the one you attacked dies).

Well you also have to consider the short radius of the homing arrow. It's actually quite small and could increase greatly with each upgrade to make it more worthwhile. That along with what you suggested could make this addition worth it
