  • Flight: Leap into the air and fly. While in flight your weapon deals bonus spirit damage.
  • Crow Familiar: Your crow familiar deals impact damage and applies a bleed that deals damage based on the target’s current health.
  • Assassinate: Use your scoped rifle to fire a powerful shot over long distances. Deal only partial damage until fully charged after 1s of being scoped. Does bonus damage to enemies with less than 50% health remaining.
