COMBAT 15. Bonus Shots - 1 character

Learn how to perform Bonus Shots in Resonance of Fate! This guide explains the mechanics, how to trigger them, and the rewards you'll get for mastering this combat technique.

Alright, let's talk about Bonus Shots in Resonance of Fate! These are super important for racking up damage and getting some sweet loot. The main goal here is pretty simple: you need to land a 'Bonus Shot' twice.

How to Pull Off a Bonus Shot:

First off, you gotta initiate a Hero Action while you're on the ground with a gun. Don't jump or anything fancy, just run and shoot. If you've got a full charge, there's a good chance you'll blast an enemy right up into the air. That's your cue!

Now, while they're airborne, keep charging up your shots. You'll notice a small yellow section pop up at the top of the ring around your target. This is the 'bonus shot ring,' and a cursor will start moving around it. Your job is to time your shot and press [X] right when that cursor lines up perfectly with the yellow section. Nail it, and BAM – you've got a Bonus Shot!

Don't sweat it if you miss the first few times. It can take a bit to get the timing down, and sometimes you'll need to get a wider yellow section to make it easier. You'll see a message pop up on the left side of the screen saying 'Bonus Shot' when you succeed. Once you get one, you'll be able to unleash a rapid barrage of shots on the enemy until they hit the ground.

Bonus Shot Details:

• Triggering: Attacking from the ground with a Hero Action (not jumping) can knock enemies into the air.
• The Ring: A yellow circle, the bonus shot ring, appears around the target with a moving cursor.
• Timing is Key: Press [X] to stop the cursor within the yellow part of the ring to earn a Bonus Shot. This speeds up your charge, letting you fire many shots before the enemy lands.
• Time Limit: There's a time limit shown on the right of the shot ring. A wider ring means more time to attack.
• Canceling for Advantage: Pressing [Circle] cancels the shot but keeps the Bonus Shot chance. This means the next character can also trigger a bonus shot, and the ring might be even wider!
• Rewards: Enemies often drop items like Gold or Silver Coins when hit with a Bonus Shot, which you can sell for cash.

So, the strategy is to get that enemy airborne, then focus on nailing the timing for the bonus shot ring. If you miss or want to set up a bigger opportunity, don't be afraid to cancel and let your next character take a shot at it. Happy hunting!
