Tactics[]
To avoid party members dying because enemies focus their attacks on one of them, the player can dispel the Bleed buff using abilities such as Regenerate, Detox, or Blaze Aura.
Trivia[]
- The buff this skill applies has 99 charges since it's not intended to expire by consuming all charges. The game doesn't normally display the charge amount.
- The Physical Strain ability Wound is functionally identical to this ability, the only difference being that the former has the Physical element and deals slightly more damage due to the damage factor.
