Crowd Blast

upgraded Rush

Katia's upgraded Rush: still a monster-truck charge, but now hitting everything in a wide cone and usable every five minutes.

Story so far

Crowd Blast is the enhanced version of Katia Grim's Rush battering-ram ability, unlocked by equipping the Shade Gnoll riot shield. Katia still charges forward and dumps the bulk of her damage into whatever she physically strikes, but now everything in a wide cone in front of her also takes 10-20% of that damage. Given she killed the #2 crawler Hekla with the ORDINARY Rush, Carl recognizes this upgrade — stacked with her Wrestling Belt mass-doubling — hits like a runaway monster truck.

Most importantly, its cooldown drops from once per day to once every FIVE MINUTES, making it a repeatable centerpiece of her combat rather than a desperate one-shot.

Appearance

A doppelganger super-tank charging forward as a battering ram, damage fanning out in a cone from the point of impact.

Role

Katia's signature repeatable heavy-hitter, a cone-wide charge attack.

Relationships

Katia Grim — The skill's owner, whose Rush it upgrades.
shade-gnoll-riot-shield — The shield that grants this upgraded ability.
Hekla — Killed by the base Rush, proving how lethal the upgraded Crowd Blast will be.
