Info

• Kullervo expends 50 Energy to unsheathe 10 daggers that quickly expand into a horizontal orbit spanning 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 meters and surround him for 5 seconds. On cast, Kullervo also becomes Invulnerable for 1 second. When enemies enter the orbit, the daggers home in to stab them, with each individual enemy stabbed by a maximum of 3 daggers; each dagger inflicts 200 / 300 / 400 / 500  Slash damage, with guaranteed  Slash and  Stagger status effects to its target, then heals Kullervo by 250 / ? / ? / 350 Health points or grants him equal Overguard points if already at full health, capped to a maximum of 10,000 Overguard.
  • Health and Overguard points are gained the moment each dagger strikes an enemy.
  • Daggers do not require direct line of sight and will bypass terrain and obstacles in the environment to strike their targets.
• Daggers that strike enemies are removed from orbit, while daggers without targets will gradually turn and sheathe back into Kullervo when Recompense expires, with each dagger damaging him by 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 Overguard points or health points if Overguard is absent. Kullervo cannot be killed by his daggers and remains alive at a minimum health threshold of 3 points.
• Each direct dagger strike against enemies increases Kullervo's Melee Combo Counter by 1 hit.
  • Combo gain is increased by Combo Count Chance effects such as  Quickening,  True Punishment,  Exodia Triumph, and Naramon's  Opening Slam.
  • An ascending suspenseful audio cue plays as the daggers turn and fly back to Kullervo.
• Ability Synergy:
  • Overguard from Recompense is protected by  Wrathful Advance's Invulnerability during wind up.
  • Recompense's dagger damage spreads through enemies under  Collective Curse when striking a cursed target.
    • Does not count as extra hits to Kullervo's melee combo counter, nor grant extra health or Overguard.
• Cannot be recast while active.
• Casting Recompense is an upper-body animation that allows movement and Maneuvers while restricting other actions.
• Recompense is dispelled by Kullervo entering an ability nullification zone, which immediately turn his remaining daggers around and sheathe into him inflicting no damage. If Kullervo falls out of bounds, the remaining daggers will inflict damage upon him.
  • Kullervo's earned Overguard cannot be dispelled and lasts until drained by enemy or self damage.
