Chain
Tooltip
Effects that Chain are redirected to another target after hitting an enemy. Projectiles cannot Chain from enemies they Pierce or Fork from.

Projectiles have a base chaining distance of 6 metres whereas other effects have a chaining distance of 4 metres.

Chain is a property that skills, often projectiles, can have, allowing it to redirect towards nearby targets. Chaining is applied last, after any piercing or forking is exhausted.
