How to play
Palefire - Fundamentals
Any Yellow Orb Ping + any Red Orb Ping triggers Controlling Bullet, enhancing that Red Orb Ping's shots with additional AoE Fire DMG centered on the target hit
The Red Orb Ping can be cast at any point after the Yellow Orb Ping (other orbs can be pinged in-between if needed, and there is no time limit within which the Red Orb Ping must be cast after the Yellow Orb Ping)
Palefire is free to move in any direction during his Red Orb Ping shots
Yellow Orb Pings create a Burning Area centered on the target hit
This Burning Area lasts for 3/4/5 seconds depending on the number of orbs pinged
Hitting enemies standing within this Burning Area deals additional Fire DMG to them
Palefire - Additional Information
Red Orb Ping shots last approximately 1.66 seconds
Canceling out of an ongoing Red Orb Ping will cause the remaining shots to be lost
While the Fire DMG inflicted by Controlling Bullet's enhanced shots is not affected by whether the Red Orb Ping was 1/2/3 orbs, the Physical DMG inflicted by the Red Orb Ping shots themselves still increases based on the number of orbs pinged
Palefire automatically performs a free Yellow Orb 3-Ping when switched in during combat, allowing for a quick activation of Controlling Bullet with any additional Red Orb Ping
Palefire - Leap Adjustments
Controlling Bullet now causes Palefire to enter Blasting Mode for 5 seconds
All shots and orbs pinged during Blasting Mode grant extra Energy
Shot damage is converted from Physical DMG to Fire DMG, and increases based on the number of orbs in the triggering Red Orb Ping
Red Orb Pings cast during Blasting Mode will extend Blasting Mode's duration based on the number of orbs pinged
Yellow Orb Pings and Blue Orb Pings cast during Blasting Mode will both fire the respective color orb, trigger a sidestep, and minorly extend Blasting Mode's duration
This sidestep counts as a Dodge, and can be used to avoid attacks and trigger Matrix
Dodges in Blasting Mode are enhanced into Evasive Shot, which deals Fire DMG, generates Energy, and consumes double the normal amount of Dodge Gauge
Successfully dodging an attack with Evasive Shot will instantly grant 1 normal Dodge's worth of Dodge Gauge
This means a successful Evasive Shot Dodge that completely drained the Dodge Gauge will instantly bring the gauge out of red and bypass the usual 2 second Dodge Gauge regeneration cooldown
Yellow Orb Pings, Burning Area damage ticks, and Signature Move hits now inflict enemies with Burn, which deals constant Fire DMG for 3 seconds
Enemies with Burn are considered to be within a Burning Area
Hitting enemies with Burn using Blue Orb Pings, or any attack that inflicts Burn, will refresh Burn duration back to 3 seconds
Signature Move now deals purely Fire DMG, and will pull nearby enemies in over its duration
If Signature Move is cast during Blasting Mode, Signature Move damage is greatly increased and Blasting Mode's countdown is paused until Signature Move ends
