Imbue

In Update 57, several existing abilities that granted extra damage, usually on weapon hits, were consolidated into the imbue system.

• Characters can gain imbues from various sources.
• Imbues are toggles: You have to drag them to a hotbar and enable to become active.
• Only one imbue can be active at a time.
• Various effects that were originally used to increase the damage of a particular imbue system are streamlined and grant extra imbue dice. Extra imbue dice from various sources stack. You can check your bonus Imbue Dice on the character sheet's Details+ Tab
• Your imbue damage is multiplied by Doublestrike and Doubleshot.
• Note that the Arcane Archer trees include several enhancements called "Arcane Archer Secondary Imbue Toggles." These are not standard imbues; as such, a player may have an Arcane Archer Secondary Imbue Toggle active in addition to a normal imbue. These imbues are accordingly not listed on this page.
