Build-Up: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''Build-up''' is a mechanic that causes bullets or [[Melee Attack|melee attacks]] to accumulate a status effect over multiple hits.

Whenever a hero fires at an enemy, items and abilities with Build-up add a percentage to a meter on that target. Once the meter reaches 100%, the associated status effect is triggered. The progress of a build-up is shown as round icons above the target. Build-up per shot is reduced by [[Falloff Range|damage falloff]], dropping to as low as 10% of its base value at maximum range. For most effects, melee damage also ~~apply~~ build-up.

Build-up is a related but distinct mechanic from [[Stack|Stacks]]. Unlike stacks, which are discrete increments that scale an ongoing effect, build-up functions as a percentage meter that triggers a single status effect upon reaching 100%.
