Overdrive

Engineer skill · Overload Line · tier 2

Beta 0.7.2

The needle goes past red and she pretends not to see.

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

Overdrive scales with Haste. Its value at each rank is 530 + 150 × rank:

Rank12345678910
Value6808309801,1301,2801,4301,5801,7301,8802,030
Haste+6.8%+8.3%+9.8%+11.3%+12.8%+14.3%+15.8%+17.3%+18.8%+20.3%

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

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