Is Dark Crescent working as intended?

I really hope not and hope they fix it because it's just so dumb the way it works right now and I really want it to be good. If you test it out with no enemies nearby the projectiles fire forwards towards whatever you're aiming at but if you use it against an enemy they fly out sideways and while they try to curve back towards the enemy they'll never hit them unless you're quite far away from them, so if you want the projectiles to hit then your actual melee attack has to miss which is completely counterintuitive and useless.
