FIREBALL
Keywords: FIREBALL
=== USER MANUAL ===
Usage: fireball <target>
fireball <structure>
fireball (while in combat -- targets current enemy)
fireball (out of combat -- displays range on map)
Description:
Hurl a ball of supernatural fire at a target, engulfing them in
flames. Fireball is a ranged combat ability exclusive to the Demon
race (Specter class). It deals fire damage and has a chance to
ignite the target.
How It Works:
When you use fireball, your Natural Abilities skill is rolled
against the target's Evasion skill to determine the outcome:
Hit: You hurl a fireball for 175 damage (fire) and have
a 66% chance to apply the OnFire-1 DOT.
You hurl a fireball at $N, engulfing $M in flames!
Miss: The fireball misses. No damage is dealt.
You hurl a fireball at $N but it misses!
Fireball has a 6-second cooldown after each use, hit or miss.
Costs 25 movement per cast. Range: 2 rooms.
OnFire:
On a successful hit, there is a 66% chance to set the target on
fire with OnFire-1. While on fire:
- You take 5% max HP damage every 1.5 seconds for 5 seconds.
- "You are on fire!"
Structure Targeting:
Fireball can be used against durable objects in the room such as
barricades, doors, and deployables. Deals 1 durability damage per
hit.
Range Display:
Using fireball with no argument while out of combat displays
your fireball range as a highlighted overlay on the overhead map.
Specialization Nodes:
After unlocking the base Fball node, you may choose one of two
mutually exclusive specializations:
Xball (Explosive Fireball)
Changes damage type from fire to explosive. Adds an
Explosion-1 combat effect that splashes 35% of the hit
damage to all other enemies in the room.
Pball (Plasma Fireball)
Increases durability damage by +3 (total 4 per hit).
Upgrades the DOT from OnFire-1 to OnFire-2 (8% max HP
every 1 second for 7 seconds).
Combat Behavior:
- Using fireball outside of combat initiates combat with the target.
- While already fighting, fireball with no argument targets your
current opponent.
- Cannot be used in peaceful rooms.
- Cannot target yourself.
