, and all of the monsters from the four god dungeons. The attack bar will change to yellow when a special attack is being used.

If the player has multiple items equipped whose cumulative base special chance is greater than 100%, the chances of each special attack are scaled down such that the cumulative chance equals 100%. For example, a player who has both the Ring of Blade Echoes (100% special chance) and Infernal Claw (15% special chance) equipped will have a [math]\displaystyle{ 100 \times \frac{100}{100+15} = 86.96\% }[/math] chance of Blade Echoes and a [math]\displaystyle{ 15 \times \frac{100}{100+15} = 13.04\% }[/math] chance of Quad Swipe occurring.

Special attacks with a single hit will always hit instantly after the special attack is used. For specials with multiple hits, the second and onwards hits will use a shortened interval. This interval depends on the special and can be found under the description in the below tables, and for most specials, within the special's description. For the Infernal Claw, the total time it takes to perform the special attack is 2.2s + 0.9s (3 additional attacks with a 0.3s interval) = 3.1 seconds. The base weapon's attack interval can be reduced with Interval Reduction boosts however the special attack's interval cannot be modified.
