Chicha

Passive

Chicha's vines slow monsters as they draw close.

• His ability gauge fills 1% faster for every second he goes without a critical hit, up to 50% faster. A critical hit puts it back to zero. His vines also slow monsters that come close to him.

The game keeps this passive on the deck's Fool card, which you already own when a run starts.

Active ability

Chicha covers the battlefield in vines that slow all monsters for 30 seconds. 2 minute cooldown.

• The vines cover the ground for 15 seconds and slow every monster standing in them, once a second.

The text the game prints and the numbers the game actually uses do not agree here, so both are shown. How long it lasts: the description says 30 seconds, the game runs 15 seconds.

The game keeps this ability on the deck's Magus card, which you already own when a run starts.

How the gauge works

The gauge fills on its own during a fight and stops filling while a dialogue scene is playing. The ability is ready as soon as the gauge holds one full cooldown, and using it spends exactly one cooldown's worth, so a character with two charges can hold two uses. A run starts with the gauge half filled for each charge the character has. Ability duration is multiplied by your ability duration bonus when the run begins, and by your spell duration bonus while it runs.
