Player can move the aiming reticle while holding down the button to aim Virulence at the desired direction.Range indicator color is affected by the chosen energy color. Holding the ability key displays a rectangular range indicator on the horizontal plane in front of Nidus. Virulence will also detonate maggots spawned by the Strain Mod Set, the Pathocyst, and Volatile Parasite.Maggots spawned from Ravenous will immediately explode when hit by Virulence, stacking with Ravenous' Mutation gain.Enemies hit by the second instance also increase Mutation stacks.While Nidus is connected to a target via Parasitic Link, using Virulence will spawn a second instance from the linked target that grows toward the targeted location, converging with the first instance from Nidus.Mutation gain per enemy is not affected by mods.Virulence increases Nidus's Mutation stacks by 1/5th per enemy hit.Negative ranges are slightly faster to cast. Longer lengths will cover more ground faster, such that the casting time is very similar at all ranges.Fungal growth length is affected by Ability Range, while width is not.Energy refund is inversely affected by Ability Efficiency because it is always 25% of energy used to cast, per enemy.With a maxed Intensify, 15% Ability Strength rank bonus, and 100 stacks, rank-3 Virulence's total damage will be increased to:Ģ00 × (1 + 0.15 + 0.3) × (1 + 100) = 29,290 damage ( decimals are rounded down to the nearest whole number during calculations).Virulence's total damage uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength and Mutation stacks:Īmplified Damage = Base Damage × (1 + Ability Strength rank bonus + Ability Strength) × (1 + Number of Stacks).Damage is affected by Ability Strength.Enemies struck by fungal growth are staggered, dealt 150 / 160 / 175 / 200 base damage amplified by the number of Mutation stacks accumulated, as well as refunding energy to Nidus for each enemy hit. Nidus ruptures the ground to unleash a linear growth of fungal infestation 10 / 11 / 13 / 16 meters long and 4 meters wide toward the targeted location.
