Monk skill · Chi line · tier 1

Beta 0.7.2

Gathers the chi of the fallen and keeps it.

It has no cooldown: it is always on while it sits on the hero's active bar, and does nothing anywhere else.

Values by rank

Chi Drain scales with Lifesteal. Its value at each rank is 225 + 65 × rank:

Rank12345678910

Lifesteal+2.9%+3.55%+4.2%+4.85%+5.5%+6.15%+6.8%+7.45%+8.1%+8.75%

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

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