Abilities
SPEED BURST
Speed Burst starts the fight on cooldown for 24 seconds.
When the cooldown expires, activating a Special Attack during or after a Dash, Dash Attack, or after Punishing a Heavy or Special Attack activates Speed Burst for 12 seconds. Then it goes on cooldown again.
While Speed Burst is active, Northstar’s Special Attack costs are reduced by -25.0%.
Speed Burst is paused while Northstar is using a Dash, Medium Attack, Striker, or during either Champion’s Special Attacks.
As a Defender, Speed Burst activates immediately when the cooldown expires.
ALL ATTACKS
Light Attack Hits have a 30.0% to 10.0% chance to grant a Reverb Charge, scaling down with how many Charges he has.
Medium Attack Hits cause the cooldown for Speed Burst to briefly expire faster.
Against Skill Champions, the first hit of the second Medium Attack inflicts or refreshes a non-stacking Armor Break Debuff, lowering Armor Rating by -8.0 for 12 seconds.
While that Armor Break is active, the Opponent’s Critical Resistance is lowered by -80.0%. If it is Purified, Northstar gains 1 Reverb Charge.
MOMENTUM - MAX: 6
Activating a Special Attack grants 100.0 indefinite Momentum per level of the Special Attack. When a Skill Opponent Evades, gain 1.0 Momentum.
The cooldown for Speed Burst is reduced by -300.0 seconds per Momentum.
As an Attacker with at least…
200.0 Momentum: Become Passively Unstoppable while performing a Dash or Dash Attack.
600.0 Momentum: If the first or second hits of a Special Attack hit the Opponent’s Block, become Passively Unblockable for 0.75 seconds.
SPECIAL ATTACKS

Independently, if the hit was Critical, 100.0% chance to grant an additional pause.
SPECIAL ATTACK 2
Each hit converts one Reverb Charge into a 12.0% Reverb Passive for 14 seconds. Max stacks: -1.
If the hit was Critical, gain 200.0 Reverb Passives instead.
Independently, if Speed Burst is active, converting a Reverb Charge has a 20.0% chance to grant an additional Reverb.
SPECIAL ATTACK 3

Once per fight, Northstar’s chance to trigger Prowess, Reverb, Reverb Charges, and pause effects is permanently increased by 200%.
