Lucifer Rune

Internal engine status effect. Lucifer Rune is a demonic glyph effect that enhances the affected unit's bite or melee attacks with dark energy. Part of the demonic glyph system (gpakId: DemonicGlyph_Bite).

This rune empowers physical melee strikes with bonus damage or lifesteal properties, making the affected unit's basic attacks more dangerous and self-sustaining. When enemies have Lucifer Rune, their melee attacks hit harder and heal them for a portion of damage dealt, making them progressively harder to kill through attrition.

Against enemies with Lucifer Rune, burst damage is more effective than chip damage since the lifesteal heals them between hits. Crowd control prevents them from attacking and triggering the lifesteal. Other demonic runes include Chaos Rune (bounce), Hexagram Rune (movement), Pentagram Rune (summoning), and Brimstone Rune (fire).
