Foul Blast Information:
Foul Blast is a Regular Instinct that upgrades or modifies the Hammer and Chisel Weapon with the following effect:
- When you throw the Chisel on impact there is x% it releases acid projectiles that deal y damage.
Regular Instincts can come in one of five Rarity tiers. Rarity provides a major boost to an Instinct's value and potency. An Instinct has a chance of being of a higher tier when first encountered, or upgraded in tier when encountered again if you already possess it. The chance for this occurring can be improved by investing in Runic Gate upgrades.
The base values for Foul Blast's effect per Rarity tier is as follows:
- Common: 15% chance; 5 damage
- Uncommon: 20% chance; 10 damage
- Rare: 30% chance; 15 damage
- Epic: 50% chance; 20 damage
- Legendary: 100% chance; 40 damage
Regular Instincts can be upgraded to the next Rank when acquired again after the first time in a Cycle. Upgrading an Instinct to the next Rank will provide a minor boost to its value. Foul Blast receives +?% chance and +? damage bonus per Rank.

- Regular Instincts can be acquired from Pillars, Bosses and Mini-Bosses. They can also be acquired as a starting Instinct when beginning a Cycle. The type of starting Instinct acquired can be influenced by equipping a Shade.
- Regular Instincts can also be acquired from basic enemies with the appropriate Runic Gate upgrade unlocked.
- Once a Cycle is over either by completion or failure, all Instincts are lost and new ones need to be acquired in the next Cycle.
