Abilities
Agonizing Drive — The penitent ignores the penalty to attack rolls from being Frightened and gains a status bonus to damage rolls equal to their frightened value.
Repentant Defiance — The penitent Strikes, then increases their own Frightened value by 2 and deals 3 slashing damage to themselves, bypassing resistance. The penitent then gains resistance 3 to physical damage until the start of their next turn.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA frontline body buys time for this self-punishing bruiser's self-inflicted Frightened stacks to escalate into serious damage output.
MenderLANDA healer offsets this self-punishing bruiser's self-damage cost, letting it keep feeding its own damage bonus turn after turn.
SnareLANDA controller keeps a target locked within reach so this self-punishing bruiser's rising damage bonus stays consistently relevant.
PUNISHES
✖ prolonged engagement✖ melee reliance✖ sustained damage races
Avoid stacking with another Crasher chasing the same escalating-damage window; the fight ends before either can fully ramp up.
