Chi Wave

Monk skill · Spirit line · tier 1

Beta 0.7.2

Pushes the chi out in a single wave, straight at the target.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 6 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Chi Wave scales with Chaos Damage. Its value at each rank is 8.4 + 2.4 × rank:

Rank	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Value	10.8	13.2	15.6	18	20.4	22.8	25.2	27.6	30	32.4

The value is the game's internal number for this skill.

in combat = round(value × skill power × max(0.35, hero damage ÷ 600))
hero damage = Attack + all elemental damage
skill power = 1 + 1% per point in the other Spirit skills + 2% per rank of each skill that boosts it

The damage factor has a minimum of 0.35 and no maximum. A hero with 600 damage and no line mastery or synergies gets the listed value; how it becomes damage or healing per hit depends on the skill's type and timing.
