Powers

Shoal Rush

By sensing the water in an area, you can direct a shoal of marine life to harass your foes. This lowers the defense and movement speed of all enemies struck.

If you direct a Shoal Rush on targets inside a Tide Pool, the marine life present will be thrown into a brief frenzy! While frenzied, the Tide Pool has a chance to knock over enemies and the damage buff and debuff is stronger.

Soothing Wave

Send forth a calming wave of water, washing over friend and foe alike. Allies will be healed by this power, while enemies will have their offensive power watered down.

Toroidal Bubble

You create a ring of Bubbles that surrounds your allies, hydrating them to replenish endurance and reducing the effects of endurance drain. The bubble also reduces all incoming damage, providing extra resistance to Smashing and Fire damage, and also increases jump height thanks to added buoyancy.

Whitecap

You summon a burst of water underfoot that hurls from your present location to a location of your choosing. When you splash down, any enemies in the surrounding area will be swept off their feet, and will experience a damage resistance debuff for a period of time. Enemies close to where you splash down will receive harsher debuffs for a brief time.

If you direct a Whitecap on targets inside a Tide Pool, the marine life present will be thrown into a brief frenzy! While frenzied, the Tide Pool has a chance to knock over enemies and the damage buff and debuff is stronger.
