Behaviour and interactions

Grant is 10% maximum HP plus 3% × (rank − 1) × maximum normal shield. The same bonus adds overflow capacity; overflow lasts 3 seconds and the trigger interval is 4 seconds. Ultimate and echo events are excluded.

Tier: Rare · Categories: Abilities, Survival

Restriction: Genuine normal Q/F/C cast; ultimate/echo excluded; one refreshed overflow source.

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.CapacityBonus=.03*q*Math.Max(0,maxNormalShield);v.Primary=.10*Math.Max(0,maxHealth)+v.CapacityBonus;v.Duration=3;v.TriggerInterval=4;break;

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.
