Charged attack¶

A charge empowers your next released weapon attack and is consumed even on a miss. Charges do not stack or expire. A charge source can charge the attack again only after its cooldown: 2 s, a critical hit 0.2 s, counted from the last successful charge. A perfect dodge ignores the cooldown and always charges the attack if a dodge roll charges it for you. Spending a charge does not restart cooldowns, and failed grants do not extend them. All hits and projectiles of the released attack share its charge. Spells can consume it only with Charged Casts. The charge itself grants 25% increased damage; charged-attack nodes add further bonuses.
