Damage Types

Note: Titans always deal physical damage.

  • Xe'Sha deals magic damage with her basic attacks thanks to her Deadly Ray.
  • Morrigan deals magic damage with her basic attacks by default.
  • Satori's basic attacks deal magic damage thanks to his first skill, Ravenous Pack.
  • When Arachne activates Total Overdrive, her basic attacks deal magic damage for a short time.
