Build Combo by successfully Striking Enemies with other skills. After reaching maximum Combo, use this skill to cause the Bell on your staff to grow to massive size as you drop it on the ground. The Bell damages enemies on impact and can be Hit by your skills, creating a damaging shockwave. Elemental Ailments applied to the Bell cause its shockwaves to deal extra damage of the corresponding type, and Hits which would have caused Knockback increase the area of effect of the shockwaves.Requires 4 Combo to use

Tempest Bell is a quarterstaff skill. This skill requires building up enough Combo with melee strikes before it can be used. The skill places down a bell and deals damage in an area. Hitting the bell will cause it to ring, releasing a shockwave that deals damage to all enemies around it. Applying elemental ailments like freeze or shock to the bell will add elemental damage to the strikes, and applying knockback to the bell will increase the shockwave's AoE instead.

Skill functions and interactions

  • Shockwaves can only be released once every 0.25 seconds (250 milliseconds). This cooldown period cannot be modified.

Version history

Version Changes
0.2.0b
  • Tempest Bell's Combo required to use has been reduced from 10 to 4.
0.2.0
  • Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread.
  • The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels.
  • Tempest Bell's impact now deals 146-490% of Attack Damage at Gem levels 3-20 (previously 145-316%). Now requires 10 Combo to use (previously 4), and the Bell is destroyed after 10 Hits at all Gem levels (previously 10-19 at Gem levels 3-20). Quality now causes the Bell to be destroyed after +0-2 Hits (previously +0-6).
  • Tempest Bell's shockwave no longer has "Deals 30% more Damage per Elemental Ailment afflicting the Bell" or "60% of Physical Damage converted to the corresponding damage type of each Elemental Ailment afflicting the Bell". Instead, it now has "Gains 30% of Physical Damage as extra Damage of each Type matching an Elemental Ailment on the Bell". It also now deals 60-132% of Attack Damage at Gem levels 3-20 (previously 96-211%)
  • Tempest Bell can now only trigger a shockwave every 250 milliseconds. This value is a strict limit, not a Cooldown - as such it cannot be modified by Cooldown Recovery modifiers.
  • Tempest Bell's limit on number of bells placed is now shared between different copies of the skill.
0.1.1c
  • Hitting inanimate objects, such as Ice Crystals, Tempest Bell or Vine Arrow plants, can no longer cause your trigger skills to generate energy.
  • Made further changes to reduce the aggressive targeting of Tempest Bell when using a controller.
0.1.1
  • Auto-targeting no longer aggressively prioritises larger enemies and objects (such as Tempest Bell).
0.1.0d
  • Fixed a bug where Tempest Bell could become invisible.
0.1.0
  • Introduced to the game.
