When the Attacker dashes back, they gain Degen Timer for 1.20 seconds. Dashing back again while the Degen Timer is active causes a Passive Degen, dealing 200% of the Defender’s Attack as direct damage over 5 seconds. |

Any Buff activated by the Attacker has a 20% chance to be Pilfered, Nullifying the Buff and giving the Defender a burst of 20% Power over 2 seconds. Regeneration buffs have triple the chance to be Pilfered. A 7% chance to Evade attacks, leaving the attacker Stunned for 1 second(s). |

Dialogue[]
Caption: With the Champion defeated, Carina, the Summoner, and their companions find themselves in an eerie silence.
Caption: Though they are safe for now, a question stirs: is there any trust for Carina amongst the denizens of the Battlerealm?
- Transmission #1 - Upon entering the Quest
Ægon: It is finished.
Carina: I can't believe Uncle En Dwi would sic that maniac on me…
The Collector: His games are all that matter to him, Carina. As I said, you are a threat to that. Ægon: He may threaten all he wishes, the Summoner and I will– Ægon: --unngh! Carina: Ægon!
- Transmission #2
Ægon: It would seem the Champion struck true. Ægon: Though I will maintain my watch, you must act as our defender for the time being, Summoner. Carina: Take it easy, Stardust. I'll be okay, just rest yourself. Ægon: I will. Do not worry about me.
- Transmission #3
Medusa: So, this is the “princess” of the Battlerealm, hm? The one causing all this madness? Medusa: Somehow, I expected more. Carina: Watch your mouth lady, I’ve had about enough of the tough talk today.
Black Bolt: ... Medusa: We Inhumans have faced injustice before. Within the Battlerealm, and without. Medusa: Many other Champions feel the same. We tire of your cosmic games that carelessly shake our world. Medusa: We will lead this charge; true royalty to guide the masses against you. Black Bolt: ... !
- Transmission #4 - Before fighting Black Bolt
Medusa: I didn’t expect you to be a pushover, but I’m still impressed. Medusa: I’ll give you one last chance to bend the knee, child. Medusa: Otherwise, you will pay for the madness you and your kind have put us through! Carina: I… I can’t. I’m sorry, but I can’t back down now. Medusa: THEN STAND YOUR GROUND!
