What is Second Wind?

Free Revive Ability Tied to Resolve

Second Wind is a passive ability you get at the start of the game that automatically activates when your health drops to zero. Once it activates, you are revived and the ability goes on cooldown.

This ability is tied to the Resolve attribute. Each point put into resolve will increase the efficieny of Second Wind, lowering its cooldown and increasing the amount of HP it restores upon revive.

Cooldown for Second Wind is Indicated by the Icon Above Your Health Bar

Once Second Wind triggers, an icon will appear above your health bar - this indicates that the ability is now on cooldown. When it fades, it means your Second Wind ability is now off cooldown and ready to use.

How to Improve Second Wind

Put Points Into the Resolve Attribute

Allotting Attribute Points into Resolve decreases Second Wind's cooldown and increases the health it replenishes when activated. With high Resolve, the Second Wind ability becomes a more reliable safety net for new players.
