Changes: Arcane Bond

Revision as of 07:57, 15 October 2016

Arcane Bond is a passive supernatural ability in The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches. It influences which other abilities Daud shares with his summoned assassins.

Ability tiers

Tier I - (0 runes)

Daud already possesses Tier I of Arcane Bond, which gives his summoned assassins access to his Blink and Vitality powers, granting them the ability to teleport and giving them more health.

Tier II - (4 runes)

With Arcane Bond Tier II, Daud's summoned assassins share his ability to move normally when Bend Time is activated. The summoned assassins also acquire the Shadow Kill power, turning enemies' bodies to ash once killed, and Pull.

Usage tips

Summoned assassins only gain access to powers if Daud unlocks them, and how they apply to Daud is how they apply to the summoned assassin.
It is strongly advised to plan out which powers are going to be bought and when, as the rune cost of Summon Assassin, Arcane Bond and the individual powers must be taken into account.

Trivia

The Brigmore Witches's powers are granted in the same way, through Delilah Copperspoon
Vera Moray has a form of this power, which allows Morris Sullivan magical abilities of his own

-*The abilities granted to assassins by Arcane Bond in ''[[Dishonored]]'' are not consistent with those in the DLC. Their use of Pull implies they should also be immune to Bend Time; however, this is not the case.

-*[[Delilah Copperspoon]] also has Arcane Bond, which allows her to share several of her abilities with her [[Brigmore Witches]], such as [[Blink]], [[Thorns]], Painted Flesh, and summoning [[Blood Briars]]. Some of Delilah's witches can also create [[Gravehounds]] thanks to the bond.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Harvey1966/status/786909144905314304 Developer Commentary – Creating Gravehounds]</ref>
