Given how niche aerial shot is can it be boosted in power a bit? At present, if memory serves me correctly, they fall from the sky and take some damage and then most revert and word too quickly.

My ask would be that aerial shot have two possible partial successes and one successful hit outcome.

Partial 1 - glancing blow to damage wing, take minor damage but massive increase to mv cost of flying (so forcing them down or risk it)

Partial 2 - body hit that causes greater damage to now as they fall to ground and suffer a bone shatter affect like falling from canopy in dranety.

Successful aerial shot would drop them from sky with similar damage to current but they would be in a paralysed state, similar to spinebreak.
