Spark

Spark
Spark deals damage (100) each tick based on the amount of stacks applied to the enemy. Each stack decreases the tick time (base: 1s). When Spark ticks, it is reduced by 1 stack.
Type	Spark
Properties	Elemental

Spark is an Elemental Effect in Halls of Torment.

Enemies afflicted with Spark take damage over time. It is distinct from Lightning Damage, which deals direct damage.

Mechanics

• Spark has a stack limit of 20. When Spark is applied to an enemy with 20 stacks, it automatically ticks.
• Tick time is scaled by a factor of 0.854 for each Spark stack.
• Damage per second is ${\frac {100x}{0.854^{x}}}$, where x is the number of stacks, above 1 stack/s.
  • When applying a constant rate of s stacks/s, the average damage is $-100s\log _{0.854}{s}$.

Notes

• Damage buffs do not apply to Spark Damage.
• Spark performs better than Burn under the following conditions:
  • Above 10.12 stacks of each (${\frac {100x}{0.854^{x}}}>5000$), or
  • Above 10.37 stacks/s of each ($-100s\log _{0.854}{s}>1000\times \left(5+s\right)$).
• Thus, Spark is better with higher Attack Speed, and against enemies with higher HP.

Trivia

• Prior to the update on September 5, 2023, there was no stack limit for Spark.
