Essence Link
|Establish a link with another xeno. Both xenos must be within 6 tiles of range for this link to remain active (not necessarily in line of sight), and linked xenos cannot have multiple links. You can cancel this link by right clicking the ability button or using the appropriate keybind. This link will passively gain an attunement level every 1 minute, up to three levels. It will also grant the link's target the following bonuses while active, some of which scale with attunement levels:
- If they are missing any health, this link will consume the Drone's plasma to regenerate health every 2 seconds. This passive regeneration scales with attunement levels, and is equal to 1.2% / 2.4% / 3.6% of the target's maximum health. The plasma cost is 2 times that value.
- Any heals applied to either of the linked xenos are also applied to the other, with reduced effectiveness. This reduced effectiveness scales with attunement levels, equal to 10% / 20% / 30% of the health restored.
- Buffs applied to either of the linked xenos are also applied to the other one.
The level of attunement is represented in the ability icon's changing bar, and the intensity of the beam.
Essence Link can go through walls, so you can be protected by resin walls as the xenomorph you're linked to can go rambo. |N/A |5 SECONDS
