| Description | A powerful melee attack which drains energy from enemies and uses it to reduce the cooldown of your grenade. |
Energy Drain is Voidwalker's melee attack. It allows the player to 1-shot weaker enemies at close range. Initially it reduces the cooldown of your grenades. After upgrades, Energy Drain will increase the player's movement speed, heals the player and reduces the cooldown of the player's Nova Bomb.
Energy Drain activates the Energy Siphon effect for 5 seconds. While the effect is active, your grenades's cooldown timer runs 1.6 times faster. The Discipline stat boosts Energy Siphon's effect and further increases the grenade's cooldown timer.
Tips and Tricks
Energy Drain Build
Build: Energy Drain, Soul Rip, The Hunger, Embrace the Void, (Jump, Arcane and Order talents depend on personal preference).
- Soul Rip - Soul Rip makes Energy Drain worth killing with. When your Energy Drain (from your melee attack initially) kills a target, you will receive a boost to the cooldown of your Super (Nova Bomb). Now, aside from the decreased grenade cool down, your melee attacks also increase your Super cooldown, provided you KILL THE OPPONENT WITH ENERGY DRAIN. Makes timing a little more important, but a lot of enemies can be one-shotted with your melee attack anyway.
- The Hunger - Great, lets make Energy Drain even better. This increases the duration of Energy Drain. Killing enemies will still cause your Super to gain a boost, but you will regen your grenades even faster, as the Energy Drain effect will last longer.
- Embrace the Void - Now here is where Energy Drain starts getting silly. We have already created a situation where our extended Energy Drain replenishes grenades faster, and Energy Drain kills replenish our Super faster. When we add in Embrace the Void, our Super and our Grenades trigger Energy Drain. You read that right, now all three abilities (Grenade, Melee, Super) trigger Energy Drain, which causes Grenades and Super to replenish faster.
