Understand Draining Bite
Useful when…
- Use on a Vasca Kavat when its melee attacks and self-healing are useful.
Effect by rank
At rank 0, it inflicts 2 Slash stacks at 37.5% of the Kavat’s melee damage and restores 2% of the Kavat’s Health. At rank 2, it inflicts 4 stacks at 112.5% and restores 7% of its Health. At rank 3, it inflicts 5 stacks at 150% and restores 10% of its Health. The damage percentages do not specify a final damage total.
Compatibility and polarity
Draining Bite is a standard Vasca Kavat precept with penjaga polarity and zero base drain. Its listed compatibility is Vasca Kavat.
Rank investment
Ranking increases the Slash stacks, damage percentage, and percentage of the Kavat’s Health restored. The listed rank 2-to-3 step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits.
How Transfusion differs
Transfusion has a separate stated effect: when its Master is bleeding out, the Vasca Kavat sacrifices 20% of its Health to raise them. Draining Bite instead restores Health to the Kavat through its melee effect.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed healing restores the Kavat’s Health, not its Master’s.
- Ranking requires Endo and Credits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the listed Health restoration as healing for the Master.
- Treating the melee damage percentage as a final damage total.
