Notes[edit | edit source]

  • The Spirit Amp is calculated multiplicatively with other sources of Spirit Resist and Damage Amp.
  • Unlike Escalating Exposure, the Spirit Amp is not created as a separate instance of spirit damage nor does have a visual indicator of its stacks.
  • As of the February 25, 2025 update, in addition to its own passive, Spellslinger's Headshots also has the passive effects of Soul Shredder Bullets.
    • The Soul Shredder Bullets debuff can be activated from any source of Weapon damage (e.g. bullets or melees). However, Spellslinger's debuff with the same effect can only be activated through bullet damage.
    • This means a bodyshot with a gun will effectively double the Spirit Amp and Lifesteal, granting 16% Spirit Amp and 36% Spirit Lifesteal, while a melee or ability that deals melee based damage will only grant 8% Spirit Amp and 18% Spirit Lifesteal.
  • Currently for unknown reasons, Spellslinger Headshots and its Soul Shredder component's Spirit Amps add up to a max cap of 70%, effectively making the 10th stack ineffective.
    • This can be seen through abilities that deal 100 base spirit damage such as Grey Talon's Charged Shot. An initial headshot with Spellslinger raises this to 122 (16% + 6%), and further headshots will plateau at 170 damage (16% + 9 x 6%). [1]
  • The debuff only affects each player's own spirit damage. Teammates cannot benefit from this debuff, even if they own their own the item.
