Accelerant

Stun nearby enemies with strong accelerant. Increases all fire damage dealt.


Introduced in Update 11.5 (2013-12-19)

AbilityStrengthBuff Strength:1.5x / 1.75x / 2x / 2.5x (damage multiplier)
AbilityDurationBuff Duration:30 s
AbilityRangeBuff Range:8 / 12 / 15 / 20 m

Misc: 50% (cast speed bonus)

Info

  • Ember releases a wave of accelerant, briefly stunning all enemies within a radius of 8 / 12 / 15 / 20 meters. Against affected enemies, all inflicted DmgHeatSmall64 Heat damage will be multiplied by 150% / 175% / 200% / 250%. For Ember, casting speed will be increased by 50%. The accelerant lasts for 30 seconds.
    • Damage multiplier is affected by Ability Strength. The casting speed bonus is not.
    • Accelerant stuns enemies for one to five seconds, depending on the enemy; the stun length is not affected by Ability Duration.
    • Accelerant's casting speed buff only influences the caster, and is affected by Ability Duration.
    • Range is affected by Ability Range.
  • The calculation for casting time is:
    • Cast Time = Base Time ÷ (1 + Speed Bonus)
    • At max rank, expect a ~33% reduction to cast times:
      • Cast Time = Base Time ÷ (1 + 0.5)
      • = Base Time ÷ (3/2)
      • = Base Time × (2/3)
    • Animation cast speeds are unchanged, the ability only takes effect earlier independently of the animation.[possible bug]

Tips & Tricks

  • All of Ember's abilities other than this ability itself will benefit incredibly as the other 3 abilities entirely do Fire damage.
  • Combining Accelerant with BansheeIcon272 Banshee's Sonar130xWhite Sonar will increase Fire damage excessively if affected targets are hit specifically on the highlighted spots.
  • This ability causes mobs to go into the "on-fire stun" effect 100% of the time, which can be used as a panic crowd-control ability, similar to ValkyrIcon272 Valkyr's Warcry130xWhite Warcry or BansheeIcon272 Banshee's SonicBoom130xWhite Sonic Boom.
  • This ability is most effective when combined with a loadout specialized for Fire damage.
  • This ability will not increase the damage of combined elements which include a DmgHeatSmall64 Heat component such as DmgBlastSmall64 Blast.
