Player Notes
- Mechanics
- Targets afflicted with Dark Channel can cause Biotic Explosions when detonated with powers such as Warp and Biotic Charge.
- Unlike Reave, Dark Channel's damage-over-time effect cannot stack on a single target.
- Banshees and Praetorians' power immunity shields cannot block Dark Channel transferred from dead enemies.
- Dark Channel will keep jumping to as many targets as closely available until the duration time expires (not just a second target as the description implies). If there are no nearby targets, the field dies (even if there is duration time left).
- Strategies
- Since it transfers to another enemy when the affected target dies, Dark Channel can be used to set up several biotic explosions in rapid succession. Use Dark Channel on weak infantry, then use a detonator power like Seeker Swarm or Throw for optimal results.
- Dark Channel is also very effective against Ravagers as it will kill Swarmers instantaneously if it travels to one and then will rapidly jump to other nearby Swarmer until they are all killed.
Availability
- Single Player: Javik, Commander Shepard (Bonus Power)
