— In-game description

Retaliation is an NPC-only version of the historical  Retaliation boon.

Mechanics

Anomaly:

Despite looking like a boon, it cannot be removed with boon corruption or removal skills.

• Some enemies will unlock their defiance bar when applying the effect, which will in turn remove the effect if it is broken.
• Damage is "reflected" even when an attack deals 0 damage.

Damage calculation

• (0.075 * Power) + (0.03 * (Level^2)) + 8 damage,
• (0.075 * Power) + 200 damage at Level 80.

Used by
