Clean Break
Teachable by Taurie Cain
After healing someone, lets you become Broken while being healed to self-heal a Health State later.
Description
"At the end of the day, everyone has to look out for themselves."
After completing a Healing action on another Survivor, Clean Break activates.
Press the Active Ability button while being healed by another Survivor to trigger the following effects:
- Suffer from the Broken Status Effect.
- You are automatically healed 1 Health State after 75/60/45 seconds.
- This effect is cancelled prematurely if you enter the Dying State.
Clean Break does not activate if you already suffer from Broken.
Clean Break deactivates after healing you.
