Unique Passive

Rift Bite

Attacks have a 30% chance to deal 180 bonus pure damage.

How it works
  • 14% crit chance: that share of basic attacks crit for x 1.75 damage (at the base +75% crit damage), so basic attacks deal x 1.11 on average. Skills never crit; at most 100%.
  • Crits deal x 1.93 damage (the base +75% plus 18%): a 100 damage attack crits for 193.
  • 14% armor penetration: the hero's physical damage counts only 86% of the target's armor (a share, not a flat amount). Against 200 armor 36.8% of a hit lands instead of 33.3% (x 1.1 damage); against 50, 69.9% instead of 66.7% (x 1.05). Penetration from several sources adds up, at most 100%; it does nothing to 0 or negative armor.

Lore

Chiseled by Hollow March scouts from indigo celestial glass shards and a caged void rift crystal. It folds space around the assassin, allowing them to blink behind marked foes and strike with piercing void blades.

Appearance

A slender parrying dagger forged from dark star-iron, set with jagged shards of indigo celestial glass along the ricasso and fuller. A geometric void crystal rests within an open cage of spiraling silver wire in the hollow pommel, swallowing ambient light. Gripped with one hand by an oiled rawhide wrap, the weapon hums with cold kinetic vibration, trailing shimmering stardust and pale blue mist before striking.
