An instant kill from above that needs no common slot

Death from Above is a Vampirism ability that instantly kills a target below Coen. Bosses and Tough enemies receive damage instead. It does not take up a common slot in the Active Abilities panel.

Ranks 1 to 4 require Corruption 3, 7, 10 and 13 and cost six skill points and four time segments in total. Ranks 2 to 4 add +20%, +40% and +60% Attack Damage for 15 seconds after use, and rank 4 restores one Activation Charge.

Renounce Death is a different Vampirism skill: a once-per-combat survival effect rather than an attack.
