Notes
Ruinous Onslaught - Death Warrior
Ruinous Onslaught can appear like a buff at times. It is designed for use against an enemy target for which it causes the Shadow Warrior to charge into the enemy and do damage or as a quick escape from enemy damage. Since it does not allow concurrent actions Ruinous Onslaught is not strategically a buff. When active the Shadow Warrior can not perform any other action except to run in order to maintain its effect which lasts a very brief time of less than 10 seconds (although while mounted on the Hellhound it has an unlimited duration). It is a great way to temporarily increase the Shadow Warrior's run speed in order to cover more ground. However, as soon as the Shadow Warrior stops moving or bumps into something Ruinous Onslaught will abruptly end it's effects.
Removing Buffs
Some examples of things which may remove buffs in the game are:
- - selected traps (Abishai summons them for example)
- - chain ice lightning (some champions and White Griffin)
- - CAs (Combat Arts) of the some characters such as 'Archimedes Beam' with gold 'Annul' modification, Expulse magic, Dryad's Black Curse with gold 'Dispel' modification.
If the character has a chance to blockreflect combat arts, then successfully hitting from the chain lightning does not necessarily mean that all of buffs will be removed. For each attempt to remove buff (lightning may remove from 1 to 3 buffs, it depends on the level of CA) chance to blockreflect is calculated anew: lightning, successfully passed the test on the blockreflection, can cause damage, but don't remove any buff or only onetwo of them. Buff is removed in reverse order from the third buff slot to the first.
Removing buffs by Expulse Magic can not be blockedreflected, Expulse Magic doesn't save character from removing the buffs by enemy's EM circle. (see more about removing buffs mechanics in players contributed guides section)

Regeneration Penalty
Buffs use following modifier to descrease their penalty:
Stamina | Modifier |
25 | 1 |
75 | 0.75 |
125 | 0.5 |
225 | 0.33 |
325 | 0.25 |
425 | 0.2 |
725 | 0.125 |
925 | 0.1 |
Sacred 2 Buff Slots Slot Machine
For example, you have a total penalty from buffs of 100%, and a regeneration time of the CA is 3 seconds:
- The final regeneration time for the CA = 3 * ( 1 + 1 ) = 6 seconds;
And now let's increase stamina to set modifier in 2 times lower than before: there were 125 points in stamina (modifier 0.5) - will be 325 points (modifier 0.25). Will be the final total regeneration time in 2 times less?
- The regeneration time for the CA = 3 * 0,5 * ( 1 + 1 * 0,5 ) = 1,5 * 1,5 = 2,25
- 6 / 2.25= 2.67
- This is almost three times less, not two!
Sacred 2 Buff Slots Slot
This suggests that the more buffs character uses (and a greater penalty from buffs they give), the more value of each point in stamina.
