Abilities

Basic Attack

  • Unpredictable Assault(melee) -Kitiara strikes out at an unsuspecting random enemy with her sharpened blade.

Formation Abilities

  • Merciless Resolve - Kitiara increases the damage of all Champions furthest from her by 100% for each Champion adjacent to her, stacking multiplicatively.
  • Arrogant Charm - Kitiara charms all enemies that attempt to attack her, stunning them indefinitely. The stun is removed when the enemy is hit by Kitiara, and each enemy can only be charmed once.
  • The Only Truth - When Champions other than Kitiara cumulatively take damage equal to 100% of their max health, Kitiara gains a Power stack. This can trigger multiple times each time other Champions reach the threshold. The post-stack effect of Merciless Resolve is increased by 50% for each Power stack she has, stacking multiplicatively. Caps at 100 stacks and reset when changing areas.
  • Cruel Cunning - Champions affected by Merciless Resolve deal additional damage to enemies with segmented health. When they successfully break at least one segment, they break additional segments equal to 4 minus the number of Champions affected by Merciless Resolve, to a minimum of 1 extra segment.
  • Knight of the Black Rose - When a boss enemy appears, Lord Soth enters the melee. He knocks back all enemies and spawns a wall of skeletal warriors who keep all enemies at bay for 15 seconds. While this skeletal wall persists, Kitiara gains 1 Power stack per second. Lord Soth will reappear and reapply this effect each time the boss's enrage meter reaches a multiple of 5.

Specializations

  • Loyal to Her Past - Kitiara begrudgingly gains the Heroes of the Lance affiliation, and increases the effect of Merciless Resolve by 100% for each Heroes of the Lance Champion in the formation, stacking multiplicatively.
