Deals 80% of magic attack power as magic damage to all enemy targets within 6 range, and applies 1 Slow and Disturbance for 5 seconds. After 40 seconds, it crumbles and returns to nature.

An unpleasantly tangled mucus stifles the pulse of life, dragging all movement into a swamp.

Effects & keywords

How the math works

The attack routine runs on a one second tick. Each tick raises the plant's lifetime counter by one and lowers its attack counter by one; when the attack counter runs out the plant sprays and the counter is reset. The reset is a constant 4 compiled into the routine, and the counter starts at 2, so the first spray is the second tick and every spray after it is 4 ticks later.

Where it lands: The damage is figured from the summoner's Magic Attack: the plant is a building and carries no stat block of its own.

When it runs: Every second the plant stands, from the moment it is summoned until it crumbles.

What it applies to: Every spray the plant makes while it stands. The cadence is driven by the routine's own counter, not by a skill cooldown.

Worked numbers

Sprays landed by that moment.

Rule of thumb: Every 4 seconds it stands is one more spray, with the first at 2 seconds.

Things the tooltip does not tell you

  • The 4 second cadence is in neither the tables nor the in-game description: the reset is a constant compiled into the attack routine, so no data change can move it.
  • The attack counter starts at 2 rather than at the interval, so the opening spray comes twice as fast as the ones that follow.

How it interacts with other effects

  • A spray lands every 4 seconds, which is shorter than the Slow and Disturbance each spray applies last, so an enemy that stays in range keeps both of them up with no gap.
  • Snatching Prey, the plant's other attack, is a triggered skill on its own cooldown and does not share this cadence.
