Aspect of Charon
Special shockwaves detonate your Cast for screen-wide damage
What it changes
When your Special shockwave touches your Cast, the Cast detonates for heavy area damage and its duration refreshes. The single strongest clearing tool against grouped enemies, and competitive at every Fear level.
Rank scaling
- R1Blast radius +20%, detonation damage +30%

Other Aspects of this Weapon
Aspect of Melinoë
Speeds up the whole attack chain and adds substantial damage to the combo finisher. Directly patches the axe's main weakness.
Aspect of Thanatos
Every enemy struck by your Attack adds 1% critical chance up to a rank-based cap. Taking damage wipes the stack, so this Aspect rewards clean play over raw damage output.
