Surge (Slave Pits)

Surge is a metric that builds up during the combat and allows the character to perform special actions. It's displayed during combat through an orange bar in the center left side of the screen.

By default, the character gains surge when he receives damage, but can be increased in additional ways through the proper surge talents (like 'Pound', 'Rend', 'Encircle', etc...).

Once the surge bar reaches its limit, the surge action button will appear. By default, using the surge action at any time will recover instantly 25% of the character's stamina and 35% of their balance, but it can gain alternative effects by learning surge action talents (like 'Gale', 'Sunder', 'Off-balance Grab', etc...) and using the surge action in the described moments. Using the default surge action spends immediately all surge (except a quarter of the bar a Concoction keeps and, in the tournament, half of what the witch's concoction gives), but other surge actions slowly drain the character's surge until depleted.

While a surge action is in effect, no more surge can be gained.
