PATCH 20261101.12026-11-02T07:17:50.548Z

Strikes the toughest monster in reach for 70 damage, costing 1% of your life (none below 40%).

These are base learned-level effects, not final character-sheet damage. Account for equipment bonuses, synergies, modifiers and enemy resistances.

Effects by level

Evolution requirements

• Evolution S Sacrifice → S Bloodrise Catalyst R Redemption From character level 30 After it evolves, the base comes back to the level-up cards as a new skill at level 1.

Synergies and practical checks

• Redemption: +30% Damage per Level
• Fanaticism: +10% Damage per Level

• Unlike Diablo II, where each blow costs you a share of the damage it deals, it costs a share of your life. No block, resistance or Damage Reduced lessens the cost.
• Its blow is Diablo II’s Sacrifice with the Short Sword every Paladin starts with, growing each level. Your weapon’s Attack Damage multiplies it, and it can critically strike.
• As in Diablo II, it swings as often as your Attack: every level recharges the same, 0.6 seconds, the Short Sword’s swing.

Skill modifiers

• Bloodletting — Each blow also hits the 3 nearest monsters around its target for 15%. It deals 20% less damage.
• Martyr — It costs 3% of your life and is used down to 20% life. It deals 0.8% more damage for each 1% of life you're missing.
• Atonement — It costs no life and is used even below 40% life. It deals 5% less damage.
