Death Mark brands an enemy and turns all of the ninja's physical damage over the next few seconds into a single delayed detonation.

Overview

Death Mark is the payoff of the Ninja melee line. It places a 5-second mark on a target that silently records every point of physical damage the ninja deals to it. When the mark expires, a fraction of all stored damage is unleashed at once, and the ninja recovers HP from the blow. Casting it costs a portion of the ninja's own maximum HP.

Mechanics

On cast, the ninja sacrifices 20% of maximum HP and marks the target for 5 seconds. During that window, all physical damage the ninja and their skills deal is stored on the mark.

Final damage: Stored damage × (0.12 × SkillLv)

• When the mark expires, the enemy takes the final damage above in one strike.
• The ninja then heals 20% of that final damage.
• Damage sources that feed the mark: auto-attacks, Throw Shuriken, Throw Huuma Shuriken, Huuma Shuriken - Grasp, Shadow Slash, and Tsugari.

Notes

• Casting Death Mark immediately drains 20% of the ninja's maximum HP — keep your health buffer in mind before applying the mark.
• Maximize stored damage during the 5-second window with a fast burst rotation (Shadow Slash → Tsugari) to make the expiry strike hit hardest.
• The self-heal on expiry scales with the final damage, so a heavy burst can offset the HP cost.
