Meaning of "X now has a Yx energy multiplier per successive hit"

[Trichouette]

Does anyone know what that mean ?

From the 18.5 patchnote :

Quote

• Atlas’s Landslide and Rhino’s Charge now have a 0.8x energy multiplier per successive hit.
• Valkyr’s Ripline now has a 0.5x energy multiplier per successive hit.

It means that repeatedly using that ability within a few seconds consumes less Energy.

^That. Specifically in those examples given in the patch notes, repeatedly casting Landslide and Rhino Charge will reduce the cost by 20% each time it hits, and Ripline will reduce the cost by 50%. This difference is likely because Ripline is more used as a mobility tool while Landslide and Charge are used to deal damage.

Wasn't it something that got implemented awhile ago though? I was surprised to see it in 18.5 notes as well, unless it just means that Landslide and Rhino Charge got a slight nerf to their consecutive use energy reduction. since I'm pretty sure they already reduced cost by 50% before.

So that means the first landslide cost 25, second 20% less so 20, third 16, fourth 12.8, fifth 10.24, sixth 8.2, seventh 6.5, and eighth will cap at 6.25 ?

Or I didn't get it properly.

Yes but the energy cost was reduced by 50% for the second cast and then 75% (for atlas' & rhino's first ability)

I apologize for posting in the entirely wrong place. However, I have no idea to create a topic, so I don't know what else to do. Can anyone tell me how to create a topic, or where the button is?

When on a particular board section, say, Home > Feedback > Feedback Categories > General,

there's a red button up on the right that says "Start new topic" (or "Ask a question" in Players helping Players).

Thanks, but there was a weird bug on my end. Fixed it now and I can create topics easily. Thanks for the help, though! <3

[Trichouette]

What about the original topic guys...?
