Reinforce
Media:Shadowy Husk Defender Reinforce.mp4	If one of the Shadowy Husk: Defender's attacks is fully absorbed by a player's Shield (does not count if the shield breaks as a result of the attack), their bow will reinforce itself with a guard shield that blocks attacks from the front and increases its own ATK by 15% for 30s at the cost of 15% of its Current HP. The ATK increase can stack up to 5 times, and the duration of all stacks will be refreshed every time the ATK increase is triggered again.

An ability will only be used if all of the following conditions have been met:
- The ability is not on cooldown
- The target is within the range required by the ability
- The ability has the highest priority out of all that meet the previous 2 conditions
  - A lower priority number indicates a higher priority.
  - If multiple abilities share the highest priority, one will be chosen at random.

Shadowy Husk: Defender: An enigmatic, pitch-black archer. It will switch weapons for a certain amount of time, deploying a shield that blocks DMG if its attacks hit characters defended by shields. It will gain an ATK increase during this period at the cost of its HP. The ATK increase that Shadowy Husk: Defender gains in this way can be stacked multiple times.

Descriptions[]

A pitch-dark soldier. Once a proud warrior of an ancient underground nation, it is now nothing but a husk that only bears memories of battle. All shall decay in the end, and this is all that is left of the Black Serpent Knights amidst the merciless march of their sins, curses, and time itself.
