Passive abilities

Death immunity deathgates into bleedout resistance fantasy — high Armor frame. Rip Line hooks and pulls. Warcry buffs Armor and Attack Speed (Eternal War extends on melee kills).

Hysteria exalted claws heal on hit, status immunity, and multiply Warcry Armor — Enraged massively amps damage/crit with a timed window; Hysterical Assault leaps; Hysterical Fixation restores shields on kill.

Active abilities

  • 2 Warcry — Armor + Attack Speed aura. Eternal War extends on melee kills.
  • 3 Paralysis — Slow blast + melee vulnerability. Prolonged Paralysis pulls and extends stun.
  • 4 Hysteria — Exalted claws. Enraged for timed damage/crit spike; Assault for leaps; Fixation for shields.
  • Augment: Eternal War. Duration still helps the base window before kills take over.
