The Ash of War: Barrage is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Standard affinity and the Barrage skill. It is found on Mt. Gelmir, around the middle of a run.
Barrage turns the wielder sideways into a horizontal archery stance and fires an arrow with each attack input in very rapid succession. Each shot deals less damage than a normal arrow, but the much higher rate of fire more than makes up for it. It is a strong way to stack status build-up from poison, bleed or frost arrows, and the volley is hard for enemies to dodge completely. It suits archers and Dexterity builds that use a light bow as a primary or support weapon.
Stats
It grants the Standard affinity. The skill costs no FP. It fits Light Bow.

Skill
Hold the stance and tap attack to unload arrows quickly, ideally with status arrows to trigger bleed, poison or frostbite. Movement slows to a walk and stamina recovers far more slowly while the stance is held, so it is best used from a safe distance. Each shot costs a small amount of FP, which limits how long a volley can last.
