Decay is a Tier 3 Spirit Item that can be purchased from the Shop for  3,200.

Notes

• Decay's base range of 20m x0.1 scales with Spirit Power, which makes it scale multiplicatively with Ability Range. For example, with 200 spirit power, it would benefit 100% more from ability range. Adding Greater Expansion would increase its range from 40m to 52m $((20\text{m}+0.1\text{m}\times 200\text{sp})\times 130\mathrm{\%})$ instead of 46m $(20\text{m}\times 130\mathrm{\%}+0.1\text{m}\times 200\text{sp})$.

Notable Interactions

• Though Decay is not supposed to proc item effects, it does proc Spirit Burn.
