Despair

Despair is a spell that curses all targets in an area, making them take increased chaos damage, damage over time, and chaos damage on hit.

Skill Functions and Interactions

• Cursed enemies take increased damage: Because these stats are an increase to the target's damage taken, they are multiplicative with attacker's damage dealt and additive with any other effects to damage taken on the defender.
• Despair can be turned into an aura by linking it with the Blasphemy SupportBlasphemy SupportSupport, Hex, Aura
