Riftbreaker Relic Updates
A before-and-after comparison of each adjustment and fix.
1. Vajra Fury
Before: Vajra Fury could only be gained by taking enemy damage while casting Poised to Strike, up to 3 stacks. The description stated 15% bonus damage per stack, which did not match the actual multiplier.
Now: The trigger window now lasts for the full duration of Vajra Body. Each stack increases the damage of the next Triple Strike or Flash Slash by 30%, up to 3 stacks. The description now matches the actual multiplier. Fixed the bonus being consumed before the skill finished, so all hits and targets of that same skill benefit correctly.
2. Endless Offensive
Before: The automatic Qi gain interval was reduced to 1 second. Each Qi stack consumed by Flash Slash had a 30% chance to refund 1 stack, but the faster automatic Qi gain did not work correctly.
Now: The 30% refund chance per stack is unchanged. Fixed faster automatic Qi gain so Flowing Qi's interval is correctly reduced from 1.5 seconds to 1 second. Equipping One-Hit Kill at the same time does not reduce this interval again.
3. Overwhelming Force
Before: Each Flash Slash hit applied only 1 stack of Breath Disruption, regardless of how many Qi stacks that cast consumed.
Now: Flash Slash now applies as many Breath Disruption stacks as the Qi stacks consumed by that cast, allowing it to work with One-Hit Kill's all-Qi consumption. The 10% damage increase per stack, 3-second duration and 5-stack limit are unchanged.
4. One-Hit Kill
Before: Flash Slash consumed all Qi. Each stack consumed increased that cast's slash-trail damage by 50%. The description omitted the faster automatic Qi gain.
Now: Each Qi stack consumed now increases that cast's slash-trail damage by 100%. Added the missing description and fixed the effect that reduces Flowing Qi's interval to 1 second. Fixed consecutive casts incorrectly counting Qi consumed by other casts, and later-hit targets not using the correct consumption count for their cast.
5. Breaker of Armies
Before: Each Qi stack consumed by Flash Slash increased that cast's slash-trail damage by 10%.
Now: Removed that damage bonus. Each Qi stack consumed now reduces Flash Slash's cooldown by 10% of its actual cooldown duration. The total reduction is applied after the current chain of Flash Slashes ends. The amount scales with the actual cooldown duration; it is not a fixed 600-millisecond reduction.
6. Circulation of Qi
Before: Killing a target with Flash Slash immediately granted 5 Qi stacks. No Qi was refunded without a kill.
Now: Kills still immediately grant 5 Qi stacks. Added a fallback when no kills are made: if the current chain of Flash Slashes kills no targets, 50% of the Qi consumed during that chain is refunded when it ends, with a minimum refund of 1 stack.
