Notes

  • The effect has a 0.5 seconds cooldown.
  • Phaser IconPhaser is extremely powerful with this mutation, as it essentially allows for infinite use of the item.
  • It is also very effective with items that rely on rooting/stunning/freezing for critical hits, such as the Nutcracker IconNutcracker or the Repeater Crossbow IconRepeater Crossbow, as it can allow for rapid skill cooldown reduction and open up many powerful combat options.
  • This mutation pairs well with Melee Mutation IconMelee and a fast swing rate melee weapon like Cursed Sword IconCursed Sword because you are constantly hitting a slowed target.

Footnotes

  1. In-game description is incorrect. Although it doesn't say it, this mutation works on slowed targets as well.
