Hey! What Killed Me? đ
Sometimes in the heat of battle you can meet your untimely demise and not understand what happened to you. In order to help with this, we have added a damage log. It will you show you the most recent hits your character has taken, what damage amount and type they were, and how much was absorbed by your armor or resistances. It is a critical tool to help you learn and improve as you pass from life to death and back again.
