Blitz Burst is an Uncommon enchant for swords and axes. It adds 6% damage per level to the first hit you land on a target, as long as you have not hit that same target in the last 5 seconds.
How to get it#
Buy an Uncommon rune in the enchant shop for 10,000 XP. Opening the rune gives an enchanted book with one of the 24 enchants in the Uncommon pool, and every enchant in the pool is equally likely. See Runes for how the pool and the book level work.
Effect#
- The game remembers the last time you hit each target. A hit counts as a fresh target if you have never hit it or your last hit on it was more than 5 seconds ago.
- A fresh-target hit with the Blitz Burst weapon in your main hand deals the bonus damage.
- Every hit with the Blitz Burst weapon, bonus or not, restarts the 5-second timer for that target. Hitting a target continuously never brings the bonus back. You have to stop hitting it for 5 seconds.
- The timer is tracked separately for each target, so hitting a second target gives a new bonus.
- The bonus is added to your other damage bonuses, not multiplied with them (see how damage bonuses add together).
Levels#
| Level | Bonus damage on a fresh target |
|---|---|
| I | +6% |
| II | +12% |
| III | +18% |
| IV | +24% |
| V | +30% |
Notes and tips#
- The enchant rewards opening a fight with a strong first strike and re-engaging after a break of 5 seconds or more.
- It works against players and mobs.
- Because every hit restarts the timer, backing off for a few seconds and returning is the way to trigger it again.
