Info

  • Octavia expends EnergyOrb100 energy to throw an amplifier device in an arc toward the direction she aims. Upon impact, the amplifier transforms the ground into a dance floor, encompassing the surrounding terrain in a field of sound sensors with a radius of AbilityRangeBuff8 / 10 / 12 / 14 meters for AbilityDurationBuff30 seconds. Octavia and her allies standing inside the Amp field gain a weapon damage buff with a minimum of AbilityStrengthBuff10% / 15% / 20% / 25% to a maximum of AbilityStrengthBuff125% / 150% / 175% / 200%, depending on the sound level in the environment.
    • Sounds originating from gunfire, footsteps, alarms, melee strikes, abilities such as Mallet130xWhite Mallet, Resonator130xWhite Resonator, and MetronomeIcon Metronome, and many more can affect Amp's damage multiplier.
    • Amp damage increase is displayed as an icon with the current damage increase in percentage, beside the shield and health indicator on the top-right of the HUD.
    • Amp's damage buff stacks additively with base damage mods like Mod TT 20px Serration.
  • Up to 1 Amp can be deployed at a time. Deploying a new Amp will remove the current one.
  • Ability Synergy: When Mallet130xWhite Mallet is hovering over an Amp field from any Octavia player, the percussive aura will double in damage and range.
    • Does not actually increase the damage of Mallet130xWhite Mallet.
  • Casting Amp is not a One-Handed Action as it interrupts other actions, but allows movement.
  • Casting animation is affected by Casting Speed.
  • Amp field sound sensors visually produce sound bars that enlarge, shrink, stretch vertically, horizontally and diagonally depending on Percussion, Bass, and Melody music from Octavia's other abilities.
    • Sound sensors will only visibly react to the owner Octavia's abilities and not from other Octavia players in a squad. This is a visual effect only, as the sound level in the environment does affect any Amp field's damage multiplier.
  • The thrown amplifier device serves both as a visual anchor point and generator for the Amp field. Nullifier Crewman's bubble must come in direct contact with the amplifier device to dispel this ability.
  • When two or more Amps intersect, players will only benefit from the one with the highest boost.
