Info

  • Lavos' serpents uncurl from his arms, lashing outward in a 100 degree cone spanning 10 meters in front of Lavos. Enemies in direct line of sight and in range receive a venomous bite that inflicts 500 / 650 / 800 / 1,000 DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin and 500 / 650 / 800 / 1,000 Imbued Elemental damage and status effects, while briefly opening the affected enemies to melee finisher prompts (default X ); each enemy bitten also heals Lavos' Health pool for 7.5% / 10% / 12% / 15% of total damage dealt. Casting Ophidian Bite triggers a cooldown of 8 seconds before the ability can be recast.
    • Range is affected by Ability Range.
    • Toxin damage, imbued damage, and damage to health conversion are affected by Ability Strength.
    • Casting speed is affected by Mod TT 20px Natural Talent and Mod TT 20px Speed Drift.
    • Cone angle, status proc on hit, melee finisher prompt, and cooldown are not affected by mods.
    • Cooldown timer countdown is displayed on the ability icon.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Hold down the ability key (default 1 ) to add DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin damage to Lavos' mixing vial at no cost, as the Imbued Elemental damage type for his next ability cast.
    • TransmutationProbe130xWhite Transmutation Probe reduces Ophidian Bite's active cooldown for each enemy it electrocuted.
    • DmgToxinSmall64 Toxin status effects inflicted on enemies by Ophidian Bite enhance Catalyze130xWhite Catalyze's damage.
  • Casting Ophidian Bite is a full-body animation that restricts movement and other actions. Casting from midair causes Lavos to dive toward the ground to complete the ability animation while standing on a surface.
  • Lavos visually spreads his arms outward as his serpents stretch and converge toward the aiming reticle, while a forward converging energy force pushes outward and venom-like liquid particles outline the ability's conical area, before the serpents retract and coil themselves around Lavos' arms. Serpents and energy particles are affected by Lavos' Appearance colors.
