HIDDEN MECHANICS
What the in-game descriptions do not tell you: crowd-control rules and verified skill quirks. How crowd control works →
- The range of Pursuit can be increased by Malefic Gun and its passive Malefic Energy.
- Fission Wave goes into cooldown on the first cast.
- Despite the Fission Wave's Active description, Alucard can still gain the buff even if there are no enemies in the target direction during the initial cast.
