New unique effect: Periodically become enraged, dealing +5/10/15% damage and becoming immune to stagger. Taking damage will cause you to enrage faster.

ESCALATION

TALENT REWORK

We want earning talent points to feel good, and for each one to provide valuable power in your runs, so talent points now upgrade rather than unlock amps (with one major exception). Having all the existing amps unlocked when you start with Escalation also provides a much more varied experience early on, rather than having to wait to get access to options later.

There are a few new things that the talent tree does unlock, though.

First are passives; talents that can be unlocked and upgraded to boost move speed, crit chance, resistance, life steal, stagger, wounding, and damage. Passives are specific to the elemental Escalation they’re unlocked for and apply to every hunt for that element.

There are also Multi-Amp unlocks, which bring in customized versions of amps from other Escalations. Like passives, these still need to be unlocked. They won’t appear in your amp pool until you’ve invested points in them.

While each Escalation still has its own unique focus, these changes give you the agency to choose how you approach it. You won’t be able to max everything, so choose wisely! We’ll be paying close attention to how these changes are performing and as always, continue to tune them.

EIDOLON CHANGES

• Eidolon amps no longer appear on Escalation talent trees.

• Violent Eidolon is now in the Escalation amp pool by default. If you take Violent Eidolon when it appears, all other Eidolon amps will be added to the pool for that run.
