Bloodrage

Bloodrage is a Warrior ability.

In-Game Description

(Passive) Infuriated by wounds, Hero deals +x damage for every 2 health they are missing.

Upgrade

 (Active) Once per combat, while wounded, activate to gain +2 Damage and prevent health dropping to zero for one turn.

Specifics

• +1 + Potency/3 damage per 2 hp Injury

Note that temporary health gained, such as from Aid, provides extra temporary hp but does not reduce Injury. This means, for instance, that with Bloodrage, if you take 4 damage then get 4 temporary hp, you still have 4 injury and do +2 damage. But if it happens in the other order, if you get 4 temporary hp first and then take 4 damage, you have 0 injury and do +0 damage (and also will need no time to heal up after the battle).

Tips

• Since temporary health does not reduce Bloodrage's effectiveness, Bloodrage combines well with Aid, Invigoration, and Rock Shield to maintain an injured warrior's survivability.

• Can also be valuable with the Shadow transformation since it facilitates regaining lost health via kills.

• The damage boost from Bloodrage applies to a wide variety of attacks, including Broadswipes, interfusion attacks (using Thnarrs Accordica), and Dreadscythe's Broadswipes effect. However, it does not apply to Splinterskin or Static Shock.
