Barbs is a status effect which causes the victim to sustain damage each time it attempts to move. The barbs remain in their target for 4-8 turns plus an additional 2-4 turns each time the target is struck by more barbs, up to a maximum of 12 turns[1]. This duration decreases when the target remains in place (use the 5, s, or . keys). Moving while under the barbs' effect deals 2d(4 + number of barbs) damage (up to a maximum of 2d6)[2]. This has a 33% chance of decreasing the duration by one turn; it is possible to rid yourself of barbs by moving, but doing so will incur significant damage.
The Barbs status effect is inflicted whenever a target is hit by the Throw Barbs spell. Also, this status effect can be inflicted by Wu Jian's wrath for 5-10 turns.
History
- Prior to 0.22, the duration of barbs was not reduced properly when not moving, meaning the status lasted for longer than intended. Also, the base duration was a bit shorter: 3-6 turns instead of 4-8 turns.
- Barbs was added in 0.14.
