mandate divinemandate
Usage
harness mandateDivine Mandate is the Kaio signature rage ability. The Kaio takes up
the authority of the gods: swings struck against it may be answered
with divine judgment, and its heals run stronger. It is built around the
Pacifist flaw, so it costs little rage and healing helps fill the bar. Every
value scales with your Ascension mastery, which is capped at 10 times your
power tier (see 'help ascension').
RACE REQUIREMENT: Kaio only
ACTIVATION: 'harness mandate', ascended or not
RAGE COST: 25 rage at 0 mastery, down to 15 at full mastery
COOLDOWN: Prorated based on usage (5 sec to 3 min, see below),
shorter with Steadfast Mandate, see 'help psteadfast'
SCALED BENEFITS (Ascension mastery 0 to 100):
Judgment : 15% of landed swings answered at 0 mastery, up to 30%
Strike power : 2x a normal swing at 0 mastery, up to 4x
Mercy : heals +20% at 0 mastery, up to +40% at full mastery
Duration : 10 rounds at 0 mastery, up to 25 rounds at full mastery
Mercy never raises the ki cost of a heal.
FILLING THE BAR:
- Each heal, restoration, revitalize, omniheal or godheal that restores health
to someone else in the fight adds 3 rage, 3 per ally healed for omniheal, and
Pacifist does not halve it.
- The patient must be fighting, or be in your group while you fight. Healing
yourself, a foe, or someone at full health earns nothing.
- Heals add no rage while a rage ability other than Build runs, or under
Purification.
JUDGMENT RULES:
- Only autohit swings from the foe you are fighting are judged, never its
skills or ki attacks.
- At most 5 judgment strikes answer a foe each round.
- Judgment strikes are counters and never chain.
- A swing Ultra Instinct dodges never lands, so it is never judged.
- A swing that Ascendant Ultra Ego retorts is not also judged.
PRORATED COOLDOWN SYSTEM:
The cooldown scales with how long you used the ability:
- Use full duration: Full 3 minute cooldown (36 ticks)
- Combat ends early: Cooldown = (rounds used / max rounds) * 3 minutes
- Timer runs out mid-combat: Full 3 minute cooldown
- Minimum cooldown: 5 seconds (1 tick)
Your live Divine Mandate numbers are shown at the bottom of 'harness'.
