Neural Overload

Mage skill · Lightning line · tier 3

Beta 0.7.2

Overloads the target's nerves: every hit on it shocks.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 10 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Neural Overload scales with Shock. Its value at each rank is 219 + 63 × rank:

Rank12345678910

Shock+2.82%+3.45%+4.08%+4.71%+5.34%+5.97%+6.6%+7.23%+7.86%+8.49%

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

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