Ashrain

Marks the thickest pack; a moment later burning ash falls on it. It aims itself at the densest pack of monsters in range (no aiming by hand). Every foe it hits takes 2 burn stacks: a burning foe takes the stacks times the burn’s damage a tick every 0.5 s, credited to you. Stacks last 3 s from the latest hit, 3 at most.

Play

A level-up offers it as one of three cards.

Rank by rank

A level-up card offers a skill you do not have while one of your 6 slots is free, or the next rank of one you have, up to rank 5. These are the lines the card shows:

Ashrain’s numbers at each rank

18441.53
27.5561.63
37681.754
46.5821.95

At every rank: Range 7 tiles.

Evolution: Ashfall

Rank 5 + Broad Shoulders → Ashfall. Hold Ashrain at rank 5 and any rank of Broad Shoulders, and the next level-up’s first card is the evolution, drawn in gold. The ash comes down thicker and wider, and it burns longer on what it buries.

Broad Shoulders is also the key to Hoarfrost Field, so one passive can open two evolutions.
