Game Mechanics

A 'bleed' is a Damage Over Time (DOT) attack. While it applies an initial damage value to a HAM pool, it will also wound a random secondary to that pool while it ticks. A bleed will last until cured by the first-aid ability, teras kasi artist meditation, or its duration runs out. Each form of bleed attack has a base chance of applying the bleed effect. This base chance is checked against the target's bleed resistance to determine the ultimate percentage chance for the effect to land. Bleeds come in two durations, 60 second varieties and 120 second.


Bleed Types

There are 4 types of bleeds attacks in SWG:

  • Area of Effect Bleed
  • Single target bleed
  • Multi pool bleed
  • Targeted pool bleed


Bleed Sources

Bleeds have a number of sources including:

  • Special Attacks
  • Creature Attacks
  • Inherent Weapon Features
  • Random Bleed Chance

Special Attacks

Bleeds from DIFFERENT special attacks or sources stack. When a bleed effect from one special is attempted again, a check is made to see if the damage dealt by that special attack will result in a higher tick bleed. If the damage result is higher or matches the current bleed then the new bleed effect will overwrite the current one, resetting the tick timer as well.
