Passive and ability

Passive

Cunning

Rum has +1 Max Health and is more likely to crit at close range.

  • +1 Max HealthFor the whole run, from the moment it starts.
  • +10% Crit ChanceWhile a monster is within 2.5 units of him. His candle burns brighter while it holds.

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

Active ability

Slash N' Dash

Rum dashes to your cursor, damaging all monsters he passes through. 20 second cooldown. 2 charges.

Cooldown20 seconds
Charges you can hold2
  • He dashes to your cursor and cuts every monster he passes through.

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.

Starting spell

Every run with this character opens with Spellblade already in the spellbook.
