At 1.1 seconds a swing for 44, sustained contact costs roughly 40 health per second. The charge multiplier takes it from 10 to 22 while closing.
Behaviour
- Ghostly
- Translucent and hovering above the terrain. Player-built walls and structures do not block it, so safespotting has no effect.
- Charges
- Multiplies its movement speed while closing mid-range distance, then drops back to base speed on contact. Freezing effects are the only reliable brake.
