Sleight of Flesh

NecrobinderPowerUncommon
Whenever you apply a debuff to an enemy, they take 9 damage.

Each time you apply a debuff to an enemy, that enemy takes 9 damage, 13 upgraded.

  • Per application: Weak plus Vulnerable on three enemies is six triggers.
  • Counts: Doom, Poison, Weak, Vulnerable and a Strength loss all count, if the amount applied is a debuff for that power.
  • No trigger: an application of 0 does not fire.
  • Damage: direct, so Strength and Vulnerable do not change it, but Block absorbs it.
