What the item does
01
Passive: Phantom Critical
Grants each attack a 30% chance to deal an additional 80% of the attack's damage as bonus magic damage.
How I decide
«I assess Brooch through its current Phantom Critical, not an old habit.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- I need an extra magical contribution to normal attacks against a specific defence.
- 02 My decision
- I assess whether this damage type is more useful than ordinary attack amplification in the next fight.
- 03 What I avoid
- Plan an activation or interaction that no longer exists in the current passive version.
When I would buy it
When the hero already lands attacks and needs a different type of extra damage.
