Ability Information
Ability Details
"A memory of corruption. Torment leeches Life from your foes and redistributes it to your allies."

- Bosses receive [23.6% + 0.16% x Courage] of their remaining Life as damage.

- If the target has 1 Life remaining, Torment will kill them.
- Heals the caster for an amount of Life proportional to the damage dealt.
- Amount healed is greatly reduced on bosses
- [To be updated] Can heal your ally, but is too buggy to figure out the factor that determines who is being healed:
- Torment cast by another player can cause discrepancy between what's shown on your health bar and your actual Life.
- Whether the ally is within range or not is not the only factor.
- Whether the ally is within the caster's line of sight or not does not seem to be a factor.
- Whether the caster is a host or a client doesn't seem to dictate who is being healed.
- A target that survives Torment receive Stagger damage.
- Casting range does not scale with any Virtue.

- Crowd Control duration is ~4 seconds, and does not scale.

- Damaging an affected enemy will end its CC early.
- Enemies will take increased Stagger from the next hit whilst under the effect of Behest.
- AoE radius scales with Spirit.
Ability Information
Ability Details
"Call forth the Stampede of Rood to charge through Enemies, stunning and doing damage."

- Initially deals [94 + 5/3 x Grace] Damage per hit, gradually reducing to half the initial damage.
- Bosses receive 25% as much Damage.
- This, along with their high armour, usually means they take 1 damage per hit.

Ability Information
Ability Details
"Your heartbeat quickens. Heal while your Rune recharges to speed up recharge time."
Healheart's in-game description is misleading, as it was not updated in the Rune Rework of Preludes 14. At any time, heal any amount of lost Life via specific methods to renew the charge of the equipped Rune by approximately 50/70/95/110% of a single charge, scaling with points into the Healheart Pact Art.
Note that the charge renewed by Healheart is invisible until the Rune is activated. It may at first seem like Healheart can only apply to duration-based runes such as
The very first hidden charge gained on an empty Rune cannot be used to activate the Rune, but once the first visual charge is gained via Pull Smite, the Rune can then be activated to reveal a second free charge from Healheart.
- Known healing methods that trigger Healheart include:
- Known healing methods that do not trigger Healheart:
Life Elixirs- The Sympathy Pact Art
Elderbloom- Nightfold low-life passive healing
- Partial Rune charges given to non duration-based Runes may be used for the Rune's full effect.
- Partial Rune charges given to duration-based Runes will activate as usual, and continue until either one charge has been drained or, if the last charge, until the Rune is empty.
Ability Information
Ability Details
"Your rule is supreme. Regain Arcanic power to cast Behest more quickly."
- Reduces the base cooldown duration of
Behest by 7.5 Seconds per rank, up to a maximum of 30 Seconds.
Trivia
- Garren Rood is often described using depictions of Grace ("graced in blue", "'twas Grace that was him freed", "By Saphene's grace", "'Twas the Stag's grace", "the grace of my crown..."). Despite this, his Pact used to give a bonus to Spirit - and its description references Mora, the deity ascribed to Courage.
- Whilst using Spectral Sight, Garren Rood will display a set of glowing antlers. These are the same antlers used in its unique Kick animation.
- Prior to the Virtue Rework of Preludes 13, the Garren Rood Pact granted an additional +5 Spirit Virtue Points.
