Volatility: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:30, 21 August 2025

Volatility detonates after 4 seconds, dealing 100 Physical Damage to you per Volatility. For 10 seconds after detonation, you Gain 1% of Damage as Chaos for each Volatility which detonated. The detonation timer will reset on gaining another stack of Volatility.

Volatility can be gained once every 0.1 seconds, and Volatility does not normally have a maximum (though some effects can set one).

Volatility is a status effect. When Volatility expires, the affected target take 100 physical damage per stack of Volatility you had on you and gain 1% of damage as extra chaos damage per stack for 10 seconds.

Mechanics

Volatility by itself has no inherent effects. Volatility lasts 4 seconds and gaining stacks of Volatility will refresh the duration. There is a cooldown of 0.1 seconds between gaining stacks of Volatility.

Volatility is capped at 200 stacks by default. Controlled Chaos will change the limit to 30, overriding other modifiers to this maximum.

If the player character dies through taking damage from Volatility, the following text will be output to the chat as a death message: <Player> has detonated.
