Furthermore since Riposte does not have default tooltips, it’s worth noting that her riposte removes Stealth from the attacker and lowers the light level by 3 to represent the encroaching darkess that she fears in addition to being a counterrattack. Mighty Blow only grants riposte 50% of the time whilst Stab and Wild Strike have a 70% chance to grant riposte. *Percentage based riposte: Senua’s riposte is not always guaranteed. It also grants her a small self heal to help her recover from all the damage she probably took when she was the only available target. However it also causes them to stagger under the weight of this shocking revelation inflicting stuns on everyone but herself. This skill reveals that which was hidden removing stealth from all friends and all foes.
Those of you who’ve played Hellblade will know that Senua uses her ability to focus in combat as well as out of it. All enemies and all allies gain Stealth although her denial of reality (or the unreal nature of the experience) makes her much more resistant to critical hits which would fell a lesser warrior.įocus: While the Leper has a skill of the same name it was hard to find one better. She is the only person here and enemies strike at her from the shadows. It also blinds her to her friends and foes. Boss monsters, mad men, Senua using her Face Time skill… This skill transfers all the Horror that other heroes are experiencing directly on to Senua so she can wallow in her suffering and her sorrows. Head Case: Sometimes there’s just too much horror. This skill toughens her up but inflicts Horror on her allies (although they fight a little harder due to the stress of the situation). Can only be used from the middle two positions and has a high chance of granting riposte*.įace Time: Sometimes Senua just needs to talk to the severed head that hangs at her side. Stab: An advancing attack designed to penetrate armour. Those who are guarding need not fear the knock back. This skill attempts to stun enemies who are guarding but will instead attempt to knock back those who are not guarding anyone. Kick: A good solid kick delivered to the shield (or straight between the legs). Mighty Blow: A heavy hard hitting attack that deals great damage but has a lower chance of granting riposte*. Wild Strike: A quick light attack that has a high chance of granting riposte*. Obviously having 80 stress is quite dangerous as it runs the risk of affliction but it’s up to you to decide how much of a gamble you want to take. Her sword skilsls deal an additional 10% damage for every 20 stress she has up to a maximum of +40% damage at 80 stress or higher.
The more stress she has, the more damage she deals. One of the core concepts of the Senua class is that her damage scales with stress. Perhaps this woman can prove that saying true. They say that madmen fight with the strength of ten.
