It causes witnesses of the wearer's kills to go into a frenzy, attacking everything nearby with great strength and speed.

Mayhem is an ego found only on orbs. Characters wielding an orb of wrath have a 50% chance of inflicting frenzy on another monster whenever you kill a foe. Frenzied monsters are turned neutral (attacking anyone in range), and berserk, massively increasing damage and speed.

Strategy

• Whilst very powerful when fighting a group, beware that it can backfire. For example, it can frenzy your own summons, or berserk the only enemy left alive.

History

The mayhem ego, along with orbs themselves, was introduced in 0.28.
