What Changes at Level 10

When a Chronomancer reaches level 10 and you select Timestop, two things change permanently:

  1. Stat bonuses are added to the hero's ability scores immediately and permanently.
  2. Active ability is replaced with the subclass variant (Absolute Zero).

Ability: Absolute Zero

Absolute Zero: Freezes all living enemies in place, stunning them and resetting their attack timers. Base stun: 2 ticks, scaling with AP. Bosses resist the full freeze — stunned for 1 tick only.

Permanent Stat Bonuses

Timestop grants the following ability score bonuses on top of the Chronomancer base scores:

These bonuses stack with ability score points allocated from levelling. They cannot be removed without retiring the hero.

Recommended Skill Tree Themes
