Haze abilities and upgrades

The Haze DPS God build is centered around Haze's gun, making Fixation the primary method of scaling in the early and mid game. This transitions to the late game with Bullet Dance, while Sleep Dagger and Smoke Bomb are for background utility.

  • Sleep Dagger: Throw a dagger that damages and sleeps the target. Sleeping targets wake up shortly after being damaged. Throwing a Dagger does not break your invisibility. Sleep Dagger does not interrupt enemies' channeling abilities.
  • Smoke Bomb: Fade out of sight, becoming invisible and gaining sprint speed. Attacking removes invisibility. Close enemies can see through your invisibility.
  • Fixation: Shooting a target increases your bullet damage on that target. Gain one stack per bullet hit, two if the hit is a headshot.
  • Bullet Dance: Enter a flurry, firing your weapon at nearby enemies with perfect accuracy.
