Conviction
Teachable by Michonne Grimes
After healing someone, lets you recover from the Dying State on your own.
Description
"Sometimes one last push means the difference between death and survival."
After having completed a Healing action on another Survivor, whenever you are in the Dying State, Conviction activates.
While active, press the Active Ability button after reaching at least 25 % Recovery progress to trigger the following effects:
- Unlocks the Self-Recovery ability, allowing you to fully recover from the Dying State.
- Inflicts the Broken Status Effect.
- Causes you to automatically re-enter the Dying State after 20/25/30 seconds.
"It's enough to keep going. Keep trying. Keep fighting. Keep dreaming." — Michonne Grimes
