Notes
- Because Barrage grants Straight Shot Ready, if a proc was ready beforehand it will be overwriten.
- In an AoE situation, Barrage empowers
Shadowbite against all targets. However, it will not grant Shadowbite Ready, which is only given from 
Quick Nock or its upgrade 
Ladonsbite. - Outside of AOE, of the "single-target weaponskills" that Bard has, the highest-potency are
Straight Shot or its upgrade 
Refulgent Arrow. To maximise damage in single-target situations, the Barrage effect should be used on those actions. Because this ability always grants Straight Shot Ready, likewise these weaponskills can always be used immediately after using Barrage. - If Straight Shot Ready was already active, using Barrage will cause the existing proc to be overwritten and wasted.
