Requirements
- Learnable by the Bandit from the second job advancement on (tier 2).
- Each level costs one skill point; the maximum, level 10, takes 10 points.
- Probably needs a dagger: the game checks the branch's weapon when a skill is used, and the mechanics notes do not say whether buffs are exempt.
Strategy
The amount is small, about an 18th of the monster's own meso, and it only adds meso, so it suits a hero who hunts for money.
Notes
- The in-game text gives the duration in ticks, 20 to a second at the default game speed. Casting the buff again while it lasts only restarts its timer.
- The meso it drops is from a 18th of the monster's meso, minus 5, to a 18th, and then goes through the usual 80% meso roll.
