Rush

Story so far

Rush is Katia Grim's doppelganger charge skill: it turns her body into a battering ram that blasts forward and shatters everything in its path. She hates using it — Mordecai pushes her to lean on it, but it knocks the wind clean out of her even on a miss, is limited to once a day, and is maddeningly unpredictable, hurling her anywhere from five to twenty feet and sometimes veering off-center. That unpredictability turns fateful in the gore-flooded train cab: enraged by Eva's cruel taunting after Hekla's betrayal, Katia screams and Rushes at Eva — misses her by inches — and instead splatters Hekla, the #2 crawler, against the train wall, becoming the season's first crawler to kill a top-ten and claim a 500,000-gold bounty (and a golden skull), rocketing from level 24 to 37 in an instant.
