Blood Rush

StatsEdit

NotesEdit

• Blood Rush multiplies critical chance based on the Melee Combo Counter.
  • Without a Combo Counter, Blood Rush provides no bonus to critical chance. At 1.5x, it provides 1 + 1.65 × 1.5 = 347.5% critical chance and at 2.0x, 1 + 1.65 × 2.0 = 430% critical chance.
• Blood Rush does work with quick melee strikes, as they do increase the Combo Counter, which is counted and maintained even if the weapon is not actively equipped.
• Blood Rush cannot be equipped on Diwata, Exalted Blade, Valkyr Talons or Iron Staff.
• Pairs very well with Body Count, Drifting Contact or Gladiator Rush, which allow players to keep the Combo Counter up more consistently.
• Since thrown attacks from Glaive weapons aren't affected by the Combo Counter, they also will not receive any bonus from Blood Rush.

CalculationEdit

The formula for calculating the increased critical chance reached by the mod is as follows:

Crit Chance = Modded Crit Chance × (1 + Blood Rush Multiplier × Combo Multiplier)

For example, a weapon with 15% base critical chance, modded with maxed True Steel (+60%) and Blood Rush, and with a Combo Counter of 2.5x would reach 0.15 × 1.6 × (1 + 1.65 × 2.5) = 123% chance to crit.

Crit Chance = [Weapon Crit Chance × (1 + Mod Crit Chance) + Static Critical Chance Modifiers] × (1 + Blood Rush Multiplier × Combo Multiplier)

• Mod Crit Chance: This is the total of all equipped mod bonuses added together. If you have a Rank 5 True Steel giving +60% (0.60) and a Rank 3 True Punishment giving +40% (0.40) equipped, your Mod Crit Chance totals to 1.00.
• Static Critical Chance Modifiers: This is the flat bonus provided by mods like Maiming Strike +90% (0.9), Cat's Eye +60% (0.60), or special abilities like  Arcane Avenger +30% (0.30) which does not scale based on a weapons base critical chance. These bonus effects stack additively.
• Blood Rush Multiplier: This is the multiplier Blood Rush uses based on its rank, at rank 10 it is 165% (1.65).
• Combo Multiplier: This is the multiplier from your melee hit counter, starting at 1.5x with 5 hits and improving by +0.5x each combo level.

Crit Chance can easily exceed 200% of normal red crits with certain combinations and the critical damage multiplier continues to scale.
