Kerapin

Natural elements OrganicCryo

Kerapins are remarkable Voidlings. Although they prefer a solitary life, it is not uncommon to see Kerapins gathering in the same resting areas, sharing food sources or huddling together for warmth in harsh conditions. They are extremely strong for their size, capable of feats that defy their compact frames. Some individuals can develop a massive, hardened carapace that can nearly double their weight. It can serve as both a shield and a weapon, allowing the largest specimens to stand their ground against any threat.

Element affinity

Kerapin evolves along two natural elements.

Organic

Highly effective against Lesion-spawns and Ancients.

Poison

Up to 15 stacks of Organic damage over time: low per-tick damage, but it lingers the longest.

Slow

Slowed enemies move and attack slower, scaling with the number of stacks applied.

Cryo

Highly effective against Ancients and GenBots.

Frostbite

Up to 5 stacks of Cryo damage over time; at 5 stacks they clear and stun the victim.

Frostbite Stun

The stun from maxing Frostbite: the enemy briefly cannot move or attack.
