Signature Ability (Sig 1)

BREAKER OF WILLS
Always Active
Absorbing Man’s Omni-Morph Forms last 9.7% longer.
When Absorbing Man consumes Morph Charges, he gains a non-stacking Regeneration Passive, healing 9.9% of his missing Health over 12 seconds. As a Defender, this effect also triggers whenever Absorbing Man enters or refreshes any Form.
Personal Regeneration effects pause for 3 seconds when Absorbing Man is struck with True Damage and are removed when a form is deactivated early.

Abilities

MOLECULAR DUPLICATION - ALWAYS ACTIVE
Critical Penetration
A fluid molecular structure grants Absorbing Man 20.0% Crit Resistance and Immunity to Armor Break and Armor Shattered Debuffs, but reduces his Critical Penetration by 20.0% flat.
Absorbing Man is no stranger to brawling with beings of otherworldly resilience. He reduces the duration of his Opponent’s Indestructible, Immortality, Unstoppable, and Unblockable Buffs by -90.0%.
OMNI-MORPH FORMS
Absorbing Man’s Special Attacks transform him into powerful altered Forms. He can only be in one Form at a time, and Form changes cannot fail due to Ability Accuracy Modification.
Absorbing Man starts each fight in his Black Uru Form by default, but can use the Pre-Fight Menu to change this default, which persists until changed again.
Being struck by a Heavy Attack while recovering from a Special Attack deactivates the current Form, which cannot be deactivated again in this way for 20 seconds.
Whenever a Buff ends on the Opponent or Absorbing Man is Immune to a Debuff, the current Form pauses for 3 seconds.
Vulnerability
Interrupting an Opponent's Basic Attack with a Light Attack pauses the current Form for 6 seconds and inflicts a 15.0 potency Vulnerability Passive for 15.0 seconds. Max Stacks: 5.
REFINED FORMS
If Absorbing Man would enter a Form that is already active, he instead Refines the Form, refreshing its duration and granting additional benefits.
Personal bursts of damage benefit from 300.0% of Absorbing Man's Critical Damage Multiplier when he lands a Critical Hit and cannot have their Ability Accuracy modified.
Unblockable
Special Attacks are Passively Unblockable.
Blocking a Hit reduces the Opponent’s Ability Power Rate by -72.0% until Absorbing Man stops blocking. The Power denied is transferred to Absorbing Man.
MORPH CHARGES
When Absorbing Man refreshes or changes Forms, he gains Morph Charges equal to the remaining percentage of his previous Form’s base duration. Max: 60000.0.
Whenever Absorbing Man is Immune to an Armor Break or Armor Shattered Debuff, he gains 9000.0 Morph Charges.
Vulnerability
Performing a Medium, Light, Medium Combo with at least 150.0 Morph Charges, or activating a Special Attack at max charges consumes available Charges to Refine the current Form and inflict one 30 second Vulnerability Passive with 50.0 potency for every 150.0 Charges consumed.
HEAVY ATTACKS
Activating a Special Attack after the first hit lands applies this bonus Critical Rating to the entire Special and grants 3000.0 Morph Charges.
This attack instead gains 90.0 Critical Rating if the Opponent is not Stunned as the first hit lands.
This attack gains 45.0 Critical Rating if the Opponent is Stunned as the first hit lands.
SPECIAL ATTACK 1
On activation, enter Black Uru Form for -1 seconds, granting the following benefits:
Gain Immunity to all Bleed and Shock effects and +80.0 Physical Resistance.
All attacks deal a burst of 20.0 Physical Damage.
Refined: Absorbing Man can perform Critical Hits and trigger personal bursts of damage through the Opponent’s Block.
SPECIAL ATTACK 2
On activation, enter Magma Form for -1 seconds, granting the following benefits:
Gain Immunity to all Incinerate, Coldsnap, and Frostbite effects and +80.0 Energy Resistance.
All attacks deal Energy Damage instead of Physical, as well as a burst of 20.0 Energy Damage.
Refined: Contact with the Opponent inflicts an Incinerate Passive, dealing 35.0 Energy Damage over 1 second.
SPECIAL ATTACK 3
Gain an indefinite Cruelty Passive, increasing Critical Damage Rating by 25.0. If a Refined Form is already active, gain a second Cruelty Passive. Max Stacks: -1.
Activate the most recent Form in its Refined state. Pause it for 15 seconds. While this Pause is active, Absorbing Man gains 80.0 Critical Rating.
