Debilitating Wave is a Seasonal Mod from Episode: Revenant.

Acquisition

Unlocked on tier 4 of the Slayer Baron Apothecary Satchel Seasonal Artifact.

Usage

This perk transforms finishers into elemental area attacks matching your equipped Super.

Base Wave Properties

  • Trigger: Any finisher animation
  • Damage Type: Matches equipped Super element
  • Range: Approximately 10-meter radius

Strategic Applications
