Ripple Effect

Ripple Effect
Class	Body Perk
Attribute	Body
Tier	Phenom (15)
Levels	1
Requires	Aftershock, Calm Mind
Affects	Only affects Blunt Weapons

Ripple Effect heals V for every enemy caught in a ground slam. In a crowd that is most of the health bar back in one move. It is one of the deepest picks in the blunt weapon branch of the Body tree, and it needs two other perks bought before it. The slam becomes a way out of trouble as well as a way into it.

Effect

---

The healing counts bodies, so the return rises with the size of the group. Against a single enemy it is a small top up and against a squad it refills the bar.

Together with the stamina returned by the same hits, a slam into a crowd pays for itself twice. That is what lets a blunt weapon build stand in the middle of a room instead of working the edges of it.

How to Unlock Ripple Effect

---

It sits behind the Phenom gate of the Body tree, and it is unusual in needing more than one perk bought ahead of it. Aftershock and Calm Mind both come first.

Perk Tree

---

Ripple Effect is bought from Aftershock and Calm Mind in the Body tree.

Name	Image	Tier	Effect
Aftershock		Phenom (15)	+30 Stamina for each enemy hit with Quake.
Calm Mind		Phenom (15)	When Adrenaline Rush is active: +3 sec. delay before Adrenaline begins to decay.

Character Builds

---

It belongs to a blunt weapon Body build that has gone deep into the branch, since it is the only Body perk needing more than one other bought first. A hammer and a crowd are what it wants.

Buy it at the Phenom gate once Aftershock and Calm Mind are both in place, which means the adrenaline branch and the blunt branch have both been invested in. Epicenter widens the slam and raises the healing, and the two of them together make the slam a reset rather than only an attack.

Notes

---

Epicenter widens the slam, which means more enemies hit and more health returned.

The slam has a cooldown, so this is a heal on a timer rather than one available on demand.
