Unique Passive

Blood Bounty

Each enemy that dies within 3s of a hit from the hero grants 4% ATK for the fight (up to 5 times) and pays 15 gold after a won fight.

How it works
  • 25% crit chance: that share of basic attacks crit for x 1.75 damage (at the base +75% crit damage), so basic attacks deal x 1.19 on average. Skills never crit; at most 100%.
  • 21% armor penetration: the hero's physical damage counts only 79% of the target's armor (a share, not a flat amount). Against 200 armor 38.8% of a hit lands instead of 33.3% (x 1.16 damage); against 50, 71.7% instead of 66.7% (x 1.08). Penetration from several sources adds up, at most 100%; it does nothing to 0 or negative armor.
  • 6.6% evasion: each basic attack aimed at the unit misses 6.6% of the time (about 0.7 in 10), so basic attack damage taken falls by that share on average. Skills, procs, damage over time and attacks that cannot miss still land. Sources add up, at most 90%.

Lore

Crafted in the Drowned Reach by binding abyssal magnetite lodestone into cured ghoul leather. It anchors the bearer across space, collecting golden bounties from fallen foes before snapping the hunter to safety.

Appearance

A hefty navigational talisman mounting a squared block of matte black lodestone inside verdigris-crusted bronze brackets, nestled directly above a swollen pouch of mottled grey ghoul leather. Short lengths of sea-rusted iron chain dangle beside tarnished barrow-copper rings and thick tendon stitching. Slung from the hip on an oiled rawhide belt, the compass hums with gravitational tension, shedding cold azure sparks when placing ground anchors and radiating rich metallic heat upon every kill.
