- While in Death Trance, identity orbs begin to deplete at a rate of 1 Orb per 10 seconds.
Surge
- During Death Trance, the player has the option to cast a high-damage finishing attack, the identity skill Surge, by pressing [Z] again to consume all remaining Death Orbs and deal damage in a line-shaped AoE.
