Identity: core:10 · Aliases: SalvageSiphon

Behaviour and interactions

Heals 3 + (rank − 1) HP per eligible kill, with a 0.4-second trigger interval; adds 2 maximum HP per rank. Cannot revive. This core is distinct from the Siphon passive, whose heal is a maximum-HP fraction.

Tier: Uncommon · Categories: Survival

Restriction: Credited hostile kills only; healing cannot revive or exceed maximum HP.

Rank scaling from source

n = rank, q = rank − 1, l = log2(1 + rank), h = log2(rank), for rank ≥ 1. The excerpt below is copied as text, not executed. Primary/secondary meaning is defined in the resolver description and behaviour notes.

v.Primary=3+q;v.Secondary=2*n;v.TriggerInterval=.4;break; // kill heal / max HP

Acquisition ranks have no authored balance cap; integer/float representation and bounded runtime effect rules still apply. Spare Charge is ranked per selected normal active. Run upgrades survive stage travel and downing, and clear at final run end.
