Impale

Debuff

You're impaled by a hit, and will take a portion of that reflected hit damage when you are hit again.

Impale is a debuff that deals additional physical damage to the affected target each time it is hit.

Mechanics

When a hit applies impale to a target, 10% of that hit's physical damage is recorded before any damage mitigation is applied. Impale deals the recorded damage to that target each time it is hit. Impale does not have a limited duration; it remains in effect until the maximum number of hits is reached. By default, impale lasts for five hits. A target may have multiple impale effects on it at once, all of which deal damage to that target each time it is hit.

The damage dealt by impale is considered reflected damage. The source of the reflected damage is the impale debuff; there is no interaction with effects that pertain to damage you reflect, as seen on Crown of the Pale KingCrown of the Pale King
