Fatigue (demo)

Fatigue is a special game mechanic preventing the battles to go indefinitely.

The basic idea of Fatigue is following: first time it is being inflicted from any source it does 1 damage, the next time it deals 2 damage, then 3 and so on. Each next hit increases the damage by 1.

In a normal game Fatigue is inflicted first at nightfall when 17 seconds have passed in the battle and then every second. The damage values inflicted to players are also shown on-screen.

However, when Fatigue-inflicting items are invoved, things get peculiar.

Here is an example to illustrate how it works. Let's suppose you have Mr. Struggles and a single Corrupted Crystal in you backpack and their cooldowns are not modified. Here is the breakdown of inflicted Fatigue damage during the first 22 seconds.

Fatigue

Time	Source	Damage
3.0s	Mr. Struggles	1
5.5s	Corrupted Crystal	2
6.0s	Mr. Struggles	3
9.0s	Mr. Struggles	4
11.0s	Corrupted Crystal	5
12.0s	Mr. Struggles	6
15.0s	Mr. Struggles	7
16.5s	Corrupted Crystal	8
17.0s	Nightfall	9
18.0s	Mr. Struggles	10
18.0s	Nightfall	11
19.0s	Nightfall	12
20.0s	Nightfall	13
21.0s	Mr. Struggles	14
21.0s	Nightfall	15
22.0s	Corrupted Crystal	16
22.0s	Nightfall	17

The values in bold will be shown on-screen for your opponent.

Note the usual nightfall fatigue damage starts from a much higher value.
