Info

• Saryn pollutes the environment with a caustic mist, inflicting 250 / 275 / 300 / 350 damage per tick to enemies within 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 meters over a duration of 3 seconds.
  • Damage is affected by Ability Strength, and status effects, and Molt.
  • Miasma deals an additional 100% damage to enemies affected by either or status effects and an additional 200% damage to enemies affected by both.
    • Enemies need to be affected by these status effects at the time Miasma is cast to be dealt increased damage.
  • Affected enemies are also briefly stunned.
    • Stun duration is not affected by Ability Duration.
  • If Miasma is cast within range of Molt, Molt will explode prior to Miasma's first instance of damage. Miasma's damage will be increased depending on the percentage of Molt's lost hitpoints when detonated.
    • Damage multiplier uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength: To be added at a later date. Currently, the relationship between Ability Strength and the damage multiplier is nonlinear and rather unpredictable. This has been reported.
  • Miasma's base damage uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength: Modified Base Damage = Base Damage × (1 + Damage Bonus + Damage Bonus) × Molt Damage Multiplier × (1 + Ability Strength) (e.g., with a maxed Intensify, both status effects active, and a damage multiplier equal to 125% from Molt, a rank-3 Miasma's base damage will be increased to 350 × 3 × 1.25 × 1.3 = 1706.25 per tick).
  • Damage bypasses obstacles in the environment and does not diminish with distance.
  • Duration is affected by Ability Duration.
  • Miasma will inflict a reduced tick of damage for non-integer durations (e.g., if Miasma's duration is 4.65 seconds, there will be a reduced damage tick for the final 0.65 seconds).
    • The number of ticks uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Duration: Number of Ticks = 1 + 3 × (1 + Ability Duration) (e.g., with a maxed Continuity, Miasma will have 1 + 3 × 1.3 = 4.9 ticks of damage).
  • Miasma's first instance of damage occurs upon initiation, and the succeeding damage ticks occur in one-second intervals. For non-integer durations, the final reduced damage tick will occur within a fraction of a second of the previous tick. Miasma inflicts a total of 1000 / 1100 / 1200 / 1400 damage over its duration.
    • Total damage uses the following expression when accounting for Ability Strength and Ability Duration: Total Damage = Modified Base Damage × Number of Ticks (e.g., with a maxed Continuity and Intensify and with no Molt or status effects active, a rank-3 Miasma will deal 350 × 1.3 × (1 + 3 × 1.3) = 2229.5 damage over its duration).
  • If recast on the same enemy, the duration is renewed.
  • Radius is affected by Ability Range.
• Saryn's abilities mutate for bonus effects when used in tandem:

• Spores
• Molt
• Toxic Lash

• Miasma deals an additional 100% damage to enemies affected by status effects including those produced by Spores.

Miasma will detonate Molt if its within range, and Molt's explosion will occur before Miasma's first instance of damage. Miasma's damage will be increased depending on the percentage of Molt's lost hitpoints when detonated and depending on Ability Strength.

Miasma deals an additional 100% damage to enemies affected by status effects including those produced by Molt.

• Embolist or Acrid may be also used to inflict the toxin status effect, due to their innate 100% chance to proc a status effect.

• Embolist or Acrid may be also used to inflict the toxin status effect, due to their innate 100% chance to proc a status effect.

Saryn is immune to crowd control during the cast animation.

Miasma can be used while sliding and while in the air.

Tips & Tricks

• Use Spore and Toxic Lash to produce the required Status Effects.
  • Alternatively, bring weapons that can generate either the Truth or Blight Syndicate Radial Effects, or weapons that deal or damage to inflict the necessary Status Effects, which can be immediately followed up with Miasma.

Bugs

• Casting Miasma immediately after casting either Spores or Toxic Lash will cause Miasma's casting animation to bug, causing the player to be able to move while casting and rapidly cast Miasma.
