Info

• Kullervo expends 75 Energy to cast forth a misty wave in a 65 degrees cone that spreads across a distance of 20 / 22 / 23 / 25 meters. Enemies caught in the mist and in Kullervo's line of sight receive a  Stagger and  Knockback effect, becoming shackled and linked to each other by cursed chains lasting for 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 seconds. Any weapon or ability damage inflicted by Kullervo himself to a cursed enemy is spread to other cursed enemies at 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% of the initial damage instance.
  • Damage redirection is capped at 100%, achievable with 200% Ability Strength.
  • Damage spread deals  True Damage or Shield Drain Damage depending on whether the initial target's health or shields were damaged.
  • Damage spread by Collective Curse ignores armor, but is still affected by units with innate Damage Reduction.
  • Damage spread by damaging the initial target's shields will only damage shields on linked enemies; Damage spread by damaging the initial target's health will only damage health on linked enemies.
  • Damage done to Overguard is not spread.
  • Special Finisher attacks, such as stealth finisher and Parazon Mercy fatal damage are spread to other cursed enemies.
  • Status Effects and other ability effects are not spread by Collective Curse.
  • A constant chains clanking sound is audible based on proximity to cursed enemies.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Each melee attack,  Recompense dagger hit against enemies, and  Storm of Ukko hit increase Kullervo's Melee Combo Counter by 1 hit per cursed enemy.
  • Damage from  Wrathful Advance, Recompense, and Storm of Ukko spread to other cursed enemies when striking an enemy under Collective Curse.
• Can be recast while active to curse a new group of enemies and refresh duration to full on cursed enemies. Only the enemies cursed by the same instance spread damage to each other.
• Casting Collective Curse is an upper-body animation that allows movement and Maneuvers while restricting other actions.
• Collective Curse is not dispelled by Kullervo entering an ability nullification zone or falling out of bounds. Each individual enemy must enter a null zone to dispel their curse. While standing inside a null zone, Kullervo may still spread damage to cursed enemies by attacking a cursed target.

Tips & Tricks

• Striking multiple enemies through Punch Through or area of effect weapons will spread its damage across all cursed enemies. For example, an attack dealing 100 damage upon striking 5 cursed enemies at maximum damage redirection will deal 500 damage to each enemy.
