Black Flash Sigil
“When the flash turns black, the instant reigns over eternity”
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Black Flash Sigil is one of the brutal relics. Swinging a damaging weapon, or landing a hit, wakes the sigil. A tempo ring lights on your chest. At rest it does not count or chime.
The instant the ring shrinks to its smallest, a judgment window opens for a little over two tenths of a second, with a sharp note. A hit inside the window is a Black Flash: that strike deals 3× damage and always crits. Each Flash adds 1 Flash Chain stack. Every stack adds another 0.25×, capped at 6 for 4.5×. Higher chains shorten the next cycle, from about 1.6 seconds down to about 1 second.
Letting a window pass empty, or hitting outside it, clears every stack. A short grace after a Flash lets follow-up hits and same-frame multi-hits through. The first hit after rest only starts the beat. It neither Flashes nor punishes.
Minions act on their own. They neither follow the tempo nor break the chain. Whips still count as your hand.
At 4 stacks you enter Domain Sense. Projectiles look slower, and an eclipse rim sits on the screen.
