Usage Strategies

  • Mind Blast has a unique property. It reverses the opponent's physical armor value, meaning the higher their physical armor, the more damage they take from Mind Blast.
  • Clicking farther away seems to focus the blast into a long narrow shape, while clicking close to the Assassin causes a wider, shorter blast.
  • Deadly Strike (deathblow) does not normally apply to spells, but Mind Blast can gain this property through the gold mod Deadly Strike. So items with the modifier "Opponent Level for Deadly Strike" would then apply to Mind Blast and raise the threshold at which double damage is triggered.
  • The duration of the debuffs from the silver mods begins at 8 seconds and slowly increases as Mind Blast levels up, reaching 10 seconds at max level.
  • The Chance to Stun will reach 100% at max CA level 200.
