Hero Skill

Pervasive Decay
Pervasive DecayLv.10

Summons Stakes of Decay on 2 random enemy targets (with these targets at the center of each area of effect), dealing 1880% ATK DMG each to these targets and other targets near them. Also summons 2 random Decay Areas that last for 5s. Enemy units within a Decay Area each receive 340% ATK DMG every 0.5s. (Stakes of Decay and Decay Areas deal additional 3x DMG to targets with a Stake Mark.) (Cooldown: 7s.) (This Hero is immune to all conditions and Inhibit. All DMG from this Hero ignores DMG limits of targets. The Hero is Sturdy - it cannot receive DMG per hit that exceeds 15% of its HP. Inflicts a Stake Mark that lasts for 5s on enemy Heroes when they gain Secure Armor. Whenever a Hero (enemy or friendly) gains Secure Armor, Malefica's ATK increases by 30% for 5s (can stack). When there is an enemy Hero with 50% or more of their HP, Malefica recovers HP equal to 10% of its Max HP every second.)

Square Insignia Winged Rebirth Insignia (69.2%) Chaos Armor Insignia (4.0%) near-universal
Equipment Serpent's Force (42.9%) Holy Conviction (19.3%) clear favourite
Trait Accuracy (80.0%) ATK (7.5%) near-universal
Pet Bountiful Gift (M) (13.4%) Soul Ferry (M) (7.5%) no consensus

Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
