A player uses the Headhunter to acquire the Soul Eater buff, and gets multiple stacks becoming extremely huge

This page is about the buff. For the Nemesis modifier datacard, see Modifier:MonsterNemesisSoulEater.

Soul Eater is a stackable buff that grants 5% increased attack speed, 5% increased cast speed and 1% increased character size per stack. Every enemy killed grants 1 stack.

Mechanics

Soul eater will persist until the original source creating it expires. Therefore characters can't gain soul eater while they already have soul eater and can't refresh it's duration until it expires and loses all stacks.

Soul eater has a limited radius of 60 units. Killing enemies farther away than this will not give stacks.

Buff Interactions

Vaal skills will not gain souls during the Soul Eater buff effect.

Monsters

In addition to attack speed, cast speed and increased character size , nemesis version of Soul Eater buff on monster, gain Grants 5% increased Damage Reduction to aura owner on death (Hidden). This means killing a pack of monsters around the pack leader that has Soul Eater nemesis mod/aura/buff, will make the monster with Soul Eater to have damage reduction. Due to game balancing, this damage reduction buff, however, did not apply to the player character who has Soul Eater.

Witch of the Cauldron, map version Alira, uses its unique version of Soul Eater . The damage reduction is 2% per stack for this version.

Simi, the Nature Touched also uses its own version of Soul Eater . The damage reduction is 2% per stack for this version.
