Gamble

Gambles are unique to blue-line Burglars. When picking the Gambler specialization, a Burglar has access to three gamble effects with 6 tiers:

•  Damaging Gamble (red gamble): damage over time
•  Restorative Gamble (green gamble): heal over time
•  Scrapper's Gamble (blue gamble): buff

When a skill is used that applies a Gamble, an imaginary 6-sided die is rolled. Depending on the rolled value, the potency of the applied Gamble changes, with lower values granting weaker benefits and higher values granting stronger ones. Only one of each Gamble can be applied at once, and when a new Gamble is applied, it overwrites the roll of the previous one.

Gamble-applying Skills

Gambles are applied by the following skills:

•  Lucky Strike: rolls red gamble
•  Hedge Your Bet: rolls green gamble
•  Blind Bet: rolls blue gamble
•  Surprise Strike: rolls random T6 gamble when used from Stealth
•  Double Down: refreshes red gamble on the enemy target and increases its tier by 1, then rolls red gambles on all other nearby enemies

Gamble Upgrade Chance

Several class interactions grant the Burglar a stat called 'Gamble Upgrade Chance'. This stat increases the chance of the Burglar proccing a gamble upgrade when a new gamble is applied. When procced, the new gamble immediately has its rolled tier increased by 1.

The following interactions grant the Burglar this stat:

• The skill  Even the Odds has a chance to apply  Even the Odds: Bad Luck Protection to the Burglar, which increases Gamble Upgrade Chance by 50%.
• The tracery Gamble Upgrade Chance increases Gamble Upgrade Chance by up to 33%.

Loaded Dice

The trait  Loaded Dice makes Gamble-applying skills roll a loaded 6 when landing as a critical hit. A loaded 6 is when the Gamble has the potency of a 6-roll for the first 6 seconds of the effect duration, before reverting to the original overwritten rolled value.

Cash Out

 Cash Out consumes all Gambles on the Burglar and their current target to gain bonus effects, depending on the removed Gambles. Multiple effects can be granted at once:

•  Damaging Gamble: deals instant damage (Payout)
•  Restorative Gamble: heals the Burglar (Payout)
•  Scrapper's Gamble: stuns the enemy target for 2-7 seconds (1 + Gamble tier), and applies Combat Stealth to the Burglar

Payout damage and healing is increased according to the roll tier of the consumed Gambles.

Trait Interactions

The following traits and traceries increase the duration of Gambles:

• The trait  High Roller increases the duration of Gambles depending on the rolled tier (T4 = +2s, T5 = +4s, T6 = +6s)
• The tracery Gamble Pulses increases the duration of Gambles by up to 8 seconds.
