This passive skill inflicts additional True Damage based on the hero’s HP, a perfect synergy with the tank-oriented build that naturally increases Karrie’s health pool.

Karrie’s passive skill, Lightwheel Mark, also deals True Damage. The brilliance of the Karrie tank build lies in the harmonious relationship between Thunderbolt and Lightwheel Mark.
