Kate

Winter’s Renewal

One area pulse after 0.8 seconds of windup, only while Kate is stationary and safely out of combat for five seconds. Heals injured living barracks soldiers and her partner for 5% maximum HP, capped at 25 and 100 respectively. It excludes Kate, guardians and corpses. Cooldown is eight seconds after success; interruption retries after one second.

Winter’s Promise

Successful basic hits build 30 seconds of attack credit. At full charge a 0.6-second cast freezes every eligible enemy within 400 units for two seconds and applies +10% damage. No victim cap and no tap-to-thaw. Shared control immunity is respected by default. Boss slow instead of freeze and half-duration Rimewing freeze are explicit test switches, not settled balance.

Prototype limits

Rank 2/3 healing is 7.5/10% with soldier caps 38/50 and hero caps 150/200; special ranks last 2.5/3 seconds with 15/20% vulnerability. Final balance and permanent acquisition remain undecided. Kate stays a level-scoped guest; the selected hero receives normal campaign XP. Walking root slide still needs art validation. Ambiguous death recordings are not assigned.
