Ally Damage Debuff

Ally damage occurs when you swing your weapon through your allies. Notification highlighted in yellow.

When a player swings their weapon through an ally player in order to hit an NPC enemy or player, they will receive the ally damage debuff. This has 2 effects:

• reduces the damage of your swing by 70%.
• consumes one "stack" of cleave. If you have 5 points in the Reaper ability, you can hit 3 enemies with 1 swing. However, if you hit an ally, it consumes one of your cleaves. So you can then hit 2 enemies with that swing.

You do not technically have to hit "through" your ally, if you simply hit too close to them you can still receive an ally damage debuff.

To avoid the ally damage debuff, space yourselves apart from one another and use weapon movements that do not intersect with other allies.
