How to Stack Semi-Wither and Trigger Explosive Kicks

The core combat loop of the Wither Rose technique relies on afflicting opponents with vision-based debuffs and detonating them with a devastating physical finisher.

Building Semi-Wither Stacks

The technique utilizes a spectral eye mechanic to debilitate enemies who maintain line of sight on you.

1. Position for Line of Sight: Face your target and force them to look directly toward you. Floating purple spectral eyes signify that the gaze effect is active.

2. Inflict Stacks: As long as enemies look at you, they accumulate stacks of Semi-Wither.

3. Lock Target Rotation: If an enemy tries to look away or retaliate, stomp the ground. This locks their rotation in place and temporarily disables their abilities, preventing them from turning or using counter-attacks while their stacks build.

Detonating Maximum Stacks

Once an enemy reaches maximum debuff stacks, finish the engagement using your kick ability:

1. Close the distance to the fully debuffed target.

2. Execute the kick to strike the enemy directly.

3. The kick knocks the target far away from you and immediately triggers a massive explosion, dealing heavy delayed damage based on the accumulated stacks.
