Escalating Exposure is a Tier 4 Spirit Item that can be purchased from the Shop for  6,400. Its component, Mystic Vulnerability, makes up  1,600 of the cost.

Notes

• The damage amp, and the spirit damage it is amplifying, are applied to the target as separate instances of damage. The damage from the damage amp is dealt after the original spell damage. This has implications for abilities or effects that rely on single instances of damage.
  • For example: regardless of the player's Escalating Exposure stack count, Lady Geist's Essence Bomb will only deal one instance of bonus damage from Mystic Vulnerability and will not be affected by the player's stacks.
  • This still applies even if the teammate also has escalating exposure.
• The user that most recently started applying stacks' icon will be the only one shown to the entire team.
• The user with stacks applied to them will only see the combined total of Escalating Exposure stacks on them, not each player's individual count.
