After consuming a meat item such as a Well-done Steak or a Burnt Meat, Protein Fiend activates instantly. Activation of Protein Fiend gives the player a boost in their base attack value.

Protein Fiend Activation

Consuming a Well-done Steak or a Burnt Meat instantly activates Protein Fiend.

Unlimited Activation

While Protein Fiend requires the consumption of a meat item to activate, the skill does not have a cooldown. This means that the player can reactivate this skill anytime as long as they consume a meat item.

Does Not Stack With Might Seed and Might Pill

The Might Seed and Might Pill do not stack with Protein Fiend as they are from the same buff group. Instead, the highest attack boost takes priority until its duration runs out and then uses the smaller buff if it still has time remaining.

For example, if you take a Well-done Steak to activate Protein Fiend I, this gives you a +15 attack boost which lasts for 2 minutes. If you then take a Might Pill which gives a +25 attack boost and lasts for 20 seconds, your overall attack boost will be at +25 for 20 seconds. Addtionally, the 2 minute duration from Protein Fiend I will not pause during Might Pill's activation, resulting in zero attack boost extension.

Protein Fiend Duration

Protein Fiend stays active for two (2) minutes for both levels. In combination with its unlimited activation, players can manage to make this skill active for the whole duration of a hunt.
