Deal increased critical damage, which is further increased when your health is above the threshold. Gain bonus critical-hit chance when hitting a foe from behind or the side or when they are defiant.

— In-game description

Mechanics[edit]

Instead of increasing the Critical Damage attribute like the tooltip implies, this acts as a 5/7% multiplicative strike damage modifier only applied to critical hits.
  • The damage modifiers stack additively with each other, but multiplicatively with other damage modifiers.

Version history[edit]
