- Cast Range

- Duration
- 12sscales with ability duration
- Cooldown
- 30sscales with item cooldown reduction
Enemies who sustain through fights with lifesteal and heals; healing reduction makes what you deal stick.
Most effective against (at 20k souls, by healing /s): Victor (240), Deadman Danny (209), Vindicta (205), Haze (200), Celeste (200).
Some effects are in the simulator; the notes say what isn't.
• Bleeds a share of the target's current health per tick for the duration (scaled by ability accuracy).
• Applies no item procs (no on-damage item effects see it) except Spirit Burn, which it does feed (deadlock.wiki). Its healing reduction (× ability accuracy) counts against an enemy that heals (assumption enemy).
