Perk Breakdown

  • The perk does not immediately halt momentum, instead it reduces it very quickly. Meaning if activated too close to the ground the player may hit the ground, potentially taking Fall Damage.
  • While active, the player burns any creatures unfortunate enough to be beneath them:
    • While active, the area directly underneath the players feet acts as an environmental heat source with an Intensity value of Heat 3. This prevents enemies from cooling and causes them to take 20 heat per second.
    • Tick Interval: 0.25 - 0.5s
    • Slowdown: 20% (x0.8 Movement Speed)
    • Duration: 2s / 2.5s / 3s / 3.5s
