Abilities

Scrap GrenadeAbility
Throw a grenade of scrap that detonates multiple times, dealing {g:citadel_inline_attribute:'BulletDamage'} and applying {g:citadel_inline_attribute:'Slow'}. The grenade can be meleed to knock it away.
Rat SwarmAbility
Call forth a swarm of rats that leap onto enemies, dealing {g:citadel_inline_attribute:'SpiritDPS'} and reducing their {g:citadel_inline_attribute:'BulletResist'} with every bite. The more rats are attached, the faster they will bite the target. Enemies can have multiple rats attached, but can shake off a rat early by performing a ground or air dash.
Royal PestmentsAbility
Adorn scrappy armor, gaining {g:citadel_inline_attribute:'CombatBarrier'} based on your {g:citadel_inline_attribute:'MaxHealth'}. As long as the armor holds, bullets have a chance to be deflected back towards the attacker. The barrier does not benefit from resists.
Rule, Ratannia!Ultimate
Charge up and summon the banner of Ratannia, granting all nearby allies increased {g:citadel_inline_attribute:'MoveSpeed'}, immunity from slows, and reduced incoming damage while near the banner.
