Austere Flames
EffectAustere Flames deals, by default, 0.75x of the applying unit's damage across 4 ticks over 4 seconds, the highest default damage factor of any Damage-over-Time effect documented in the client data.
Only Hollow and its evolved form Hollow (Blaze) apply Austere Flames, making it a signature effect tied specifically to that unit's kit rather than a shared tool across the roster.
Details
How Austere Flames works
Austere Flames deals damage in ticks equal to a factor of the applying unit's current damage stat. At default values, that is x0.75 total damage split across 4 ticks over 4 seconds, the strongest per-application factor among the game's Damage-over-Time effects.
Since it scales off the applying unit's damage stat, Austere Flames grows in value alongside any Stat Potential, equipment or trait investment that raises Hollow's base damage.
Units that apply Austere Flames
Austere Flames is applied by Hollow (Blaze) and Hollow. As the only appliers of this effect, both share the same default factor, duration and tick count unless the unit's own kit specifies an override.
