Filovirus

Filovirus

The Hemorrhager's Kit

Filovirus wears cells down with bleeding, weakens what it bleeds, and heals as they bleed out.

The Hemorrhager · Level 12 unlock

Filovirus

Makes cells bleed. Its hits can start bleeds, Hemorrhage makes every cell nearby bleed heavily and hit softer, and Viral Hemorrhage hits every cell nearby for 6× your damage while healing you.

  • Passive: every hit has a 45% chance to make the cell bleed for 3 s (100% of your damage per second)
  • Passive: you heal 2 HP whenever a bleeding cell dies
  • Signature (BLEED): Hemorrhage, every cell within 240 bleeds at 260% of your damage per second for 5 s and deals 40% less damage

From the Codex

A fictional filovirus inspired by Ebola: a long thread-like virion, often curled into a 'shepherd's crook'. Real filoviruses cause fever, bleeding and organ failure; some Ebola outbreaks have killed up to 90% of those infected.

Fun fact: Ebola was discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in what is now the DR Congo. The 2014–16 West Africa epidemic infected over 28,000 people.
