Dark	Dark	Fire	Nature	Water

Attack range & damage type: Ranged & Dark/Spirit

Buffs & Debuffs:

Armor-piercing (effect):
The attack pierces Armor, that is, it ignores the Damage Reduction granted by the target's Armored trait and deals full damage.

Boosted Damage (effect):
The target suffers boosted damage from the attack. A fly-out text of a multiplier or percentage paired with the icon of the trait or debuff that caused the extra damage is shown (Damage 1.75x [Mythical Icon], +140% [Feared Icon], etc.).

Diseased (debuff):
The target's ATK and amount healed are reduced by half. It's CRIT chance rate is reduced to zero. Subsequent applications of the effect refreshes its duration.

Extra energy (effect):
The hero starts the dungeon with extra energy, which is required to use their special attacks/abilities.

Shield-piercing (effect):
A shield-piercing attack ignores any magical Shield like Aegis Shield, Ethereal, Unbridled Rage, as well as Damage Reflection Shields, and Shrouded. In result an Aegis Shield doesn't collapse, Damage Reflection doesn't hurt the attacker. Full damage is dealt vs the target, and the target can die.

Energy Gain (effect):
The hero gains some extra energy, which is required to use their special attacks/abilities.
