    Edit

    Withering Step


    Withering Step is a movement skill that applies Elusive and Phasing on use. Enemies that get near you while you have Elusive receive multiple stacks of Withered, causing them to take increased chaos damage. Using any skill ends Withering Step's effects and removes all buffs.

    Skill functions and interactions

    • Withering Step shares a cooldown with other Blink skills.
    • Unlike several other Blink skills, Withering Step does not gain one additional use when supported by Second Wind Support , since Withering Step is an instant skill. Second Wind Support can still be linked with Withering Step for additional cooldown recovery speed.

    Version history

    VersionChanges
    3.20.0
  • Withering Step can no longer be used while already Elusive. This change shouldn't affect builds that don't have ways to gain Elusive outside of Withering Step.
    • 3.11.0
  • Fixed a bug where the Withering Step effect lost an eye. It had no effect on accuracy as far as we know.
    • 3.8.0
  • Withering Step has been added to the game.
