Beta 0.7.2

Finds the centre, and from the centre everything lands.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 14 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Balance scales with Crit Chance. Its value at each rank is 403 + 115 × rank:

Rank12345678910
Value5186337488639781,0931,2081,3231,4381,553
Crit Chance+5.18%+6.33%+7.48%+8.63%+9.78%+10.93%+12.08%+13.23%+14.38%+15.53%

Crit Chance is a percentage stat, so the value is used as written (in basis points, shown here as a percentage), times the skill power.

Crit Chance = value × skill power
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Chi skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

Balance has no synergies: no skill boosts it and it boosts no other skill.
