|-------|------|----------|
| Runner's High | Instant burst | Emergency saves, "oh no" moments |
| Foam Roll | Gradual + cleanse | Sustained fights, debuff removal |

**Combo:** Use Foam Roll for the cleanse and HoT, then Runner's High if you need an emergency top-off.

## Level 7: Downhill Bomb 💣

*"What goes up must come down. And I'm coming down FAST."*

**Type:** Offensive (Momentum-Based Damage)
**Base Effect:** Damage increases based on consecutive turns of attacking

The Trail Runner channels the chaotic energy of bombing down a technical descent. Momentum builds, speed increases, and stopping becomes optional.

### Skill Level Progression

| Skill Lv | Base Damage | Max Stacks | Bonus/Stack | MP Cost | Special |
|----------|-------------|------------|-------------|---------|---------|
| 1 | 100% | 3 | +30% | 14 | - |
| 2 | 105% | 3 | +32% | 14 | - |
| 3 | 110% | 4 | +34% | 13 | Stack cap up |
| 4 | 115% | 4 | +36% | 13 | - |
| 5 | 120% | 4 | +40% | 12 | "Building Speed" |
| 6 | 125% | 5 | +42% | 12 | Stack cap up |
| 7 | 130% | 5 | +45% | 11 | - |
| 8 | 135% | 5 | +47% | 11 | - |
| 9 | 140% | 6 | +50% | 10 | Stack cap up |
| 10 | 150% | 6 | +60% | 10 | "Terminal Velocity" |
| 11+ | 150% | +1 stack/lv | +60% | 10 | - |

### Detailed Mechanics

**How Momentum Works:**
```
Stack 0: Just used Downhill Bomb or first use
Stack 1: Used an attack last turn
Stack 2: Used attacks for 2 consecutive turns
Stack 3+: Keep attacking to build stacks
```

**Stack Rules:**
- Gain 1 stack after each turn you deal damage
- Stacks persist across multiple uses of Downhill Bomb
- Using a non-damaging ability (heal, buff) resets stacks to 0
- Getting stunned/skipping a turn resets stacks to 0

#### Skill Level 1
```
Base:       100% of base attack
Max Stacks: 3
Bonus:      +30% per stack
MP Cost:    14
Max Damage: 100% + 90% = 190% at 3 stacks
```
**Example Sequence:**
```
Turn 1: Attack (stack 0) → Normal damage
Turn 2: Downhill Bomb (stack 1) → 100% + 30% = 130%
Turn 3: Downhill Bomb (stack 2) → 100% + 60% = 160%
Turn 4: Downhill Bomb (stack 3) → 100% + 90% = 190%
Turn 5: Runner's High (resets stacks to 0!)
Turn 6: Downhill Bomb (stack 0) → 100%
```

#### Skill Level 5 - "Building Speed"
```
Base:       120% of base attack
Max Stacks: 4
Bonus:      +40% per stack
MP Cost:    12
Max Damage: 120% + 160% = 280% at 4 stacks
```
**Example:** Base attack = 30 damage
- Stack 0: 36 damage
- Stack 1: 48 damage
- Stack 2: 60 damage
- Stack 3: 72 damage
- Stack 4: 84 damage

#### Skill Level 10 - "Terminal Velocity"
```
Base:       150% of base attack
Max Stacks: 6
Bonus:      +60% per stack
MP Cost:    10
Max Damage: 150% + 360% = 510% at 6 stacks
Bonus:      At max stacks, attacks ignore 25% of enemy defense
```
**Example:** Base attack = 50 damage
- Stack 0: 75 damage
- Stack 1: 105 damage
- Stack 2: 135 damage
- Stack 3: 165 damage
- Stack 4: 195 damage
- Stack 5: 225 damage
- Stack 6: 255 damage + 25% defense ignore

**At Max Stacks:**
- Your attacks cut through armor
- 510% damage is HUGE for a spammable skill
- Key is maintaining the combo without healing

### Strategy Notes

**The Dilemma:**
- Want to heal? Lose your stacks.
- Want big damage? Stay low HP.
- Synergizes with class passive "Negative Splits" (more damage at low HP)

**Optimal Play:**
```
Turn 1: Gel Pack (doesn't break combo - it's a buff)
Turn 2: Brand New Hokas (stack 1)
Turn 3: Downhill Bomb (stack 2)
Turn 4: Downhill Bomb (stack 3)
Turn 5: Shin Kick (stack 4)
Turn 6: Downhill Bomb (stack 5) - MASSIVE damage
```

**What Resets Stacks:**
| Action | Resets? |
|--------|---------|
| Normal Attack | No |
| Brand New Hokas | No |
| Shin Kick | No |
| Pole Vault | No |
| Downhill Bomb | No |
| Runner's High | YES (heal) |
| Foam Roll | YES (heal) |
| Gel Pack | No (buff) |
| Getting Stunned | YES |
| Skipping Turn | YES |

### XP Requirements

| Skill Lv | XP Required | Cumulative XP |
|----------|-------------|---------------|
| 1 → 2 | 50 | 50 |
| 2 → 3 | 100 | 150 |
| 3 → 4 | 150 | 300 |
| 4 → 5 | 200 | 500 |
| 5 → 6 | 300 | 800 |
| 6 → 7 | 400 | 1,200 |
| 7 → 8 | 500 | 1,700 |
| 8 → 9 | 600 | 2,300 |
| 9 → 10 | 700 | 3,000 |
| 10+ | 500 per level | +500 each |

**XP earned per use:** 10 base + 5 per stack when used + 15 if used at max stacks

---

## Level 8: Aid Station 🏕️

*"Gummy bears, pickle juice, flat cola, and a volunteer who believes in me."*

**Type:** Utility (Party Support)
**Base Effect:** Create a temporary zone that heals and buffs

The Trail Runner sets up a makeshift aid station, complete with suspicious-looking brownies, warm broth, and an encouraging sign that says "YOU'RE ALMOST THERE!" (even if you're not).

### Skill Level Progression

## Level 9: Final Kick 👟💨

*"This is what all those hill repeats were for."*

**Type:** Offensive (Execute)
**Base Effect:** Devastating attack that deals bonus damage to low HP enemies

The Trail Runner's legendary finish-line sprint. When the end is in sight, something primal takes over and the legs that were dying suddenly find reserves nobody knew existed.

### Skill Level Progression

| Skill Lv | Base Damage | Execute Threshold | Execute Bonus | MP Cost | Special |
|----------|-------------|-------------------|---------------|---------|---------|
| 1 | 180% | 30% HP | +100% | 22 | - |
| 2 | 185% | 30% HP | +105% | 22 | - |
| 3 | 190% | 32% HP | +110% | 21 | Threshold up |
| 4 | 195% | 32% HP | +115% | 21 | - |
| 5 | 200% | 35% HP | +125% | 20 | "Finish Line" |
| 6 | 210% | 35% HP | +130% | 20 | - |
| 7 | 220% | 38% HP | +140% | 19 | - |
| 8 | 230% | 38% HP | +150% | 19 | - |
| 9 | 240% | 40% HP | +160% | 18 | - |

| 11+ | 250% + 10%/lv | 50% HP | +200% + 10%/lv | 18 | - |

### Detailed Mechanics

**Execute Mechanic:**
```
If enemy HP <= threshold:
    Damage = Base + Execute Bonus
Else:
    Damage = Base only
```

#### Skill Level 1
```
Base Damage:      180% of base attack
Execute Threshold: Enemy at or below 30% HP
Execute Bonus:    +100% (total 280% damage)
MP Cost:          22
Cooldown:         None
```
**Example:** Base attack = 30 damage, Enemy at 100 HP (max 300)
- Enemy above 30%: 30 × 1.80 = 54 damage
- Enemy at 30% or below: 30 × 2.80 = 84 damage

**Math Check:**
- Enemy has 300 HP max
- 30% threshold = 90 HP
- If enemy is at 90 HP or less: Execute triggers

#### Skill Level 5 - "Finish Line"
```
Base Damage:      200% of base attack
Execute Threshold: Enemy at or below 35% HP
Execute Bonus:    +125% (total 325% damage)
MP Cost:          20
Cooldown:         None
```
**Example:** Base attack = 35 damage
- Normal: 70 damage
- Execute: 114 damage
- Threshold is more forgiving (35% instead of 30%)

#### Skill Level 10 - "Photo Finish"
```
Base Damage:      250% of base attack
Execute Threshold: Enemy at or below 50% HP
Execute Bonus:    +200% (total 450% damage)
MP Cost:          18
Cooldown:         None
Bonus:            If this kills the enemy, heal 20% of your max HP
```
**Example:** Base attack = 50 damage
- Normal: 125 damage (solid damage even without execute)
- Execute: 225 damage (MASSIVE)
- Threshold: 50% HP (half health! Very forgiving)
- Kill bonus: Heal 36 HP (at 180 max HP)

**Execute Threshold at 50%:**
```
Enemy at 60% HP: 125 damage (no execute)
Enemy at 50% HP: 225 damage (execute!)
Enemy at 30% HP: 225 damage (execute!)
Enemy at 10% HP: 225 damage (execute! probably overkill)
```

### Optimal Usage

**Combo with Pole Vault:**
```
Turn 1: Pole Vault (150% damage, chance to stun)
Turn 2: Brand New Hokas (200% damage)
Turn 3: Shin Kick (400% damage)
  → Enemy now below 50%
Turn 4: Final Kick (450% execute damage!)
```

**With Gel Pack Buff:**
```
Final Kick Lv10 with Gel Pack Lv10:
- Base: 250% × 1.50 = 375%
- Execute: 450% × 1.50 = 675%
  → 50 ATK × 6.75 = 337 damage
```

### Execute vs Shin Kick

| Skill | Damage | When to Use |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| Shin Kick | 400% always | Early fight, guaranteed burst |
| Final Kick | 250% / 450% | Late fight, execute enemies |

**Rule of Thumb:**
- Enemy above 50% HP → Shin Kick
- Enemy below 50% HP → Final Kick

### XP Requirements

| Skill Lv | XP Required | Cumulative XP |
|----------|-------------|---------------|
| 1 → 2 | 50 | 50 |
| 2 → 3 | 100 | 150 |
| 3 → 4 | 150 | 300 |
| 4 → 5 | 200 | 500 |
| 5 → 6 | 300 | 800 |
| 6 → 7 | 400 | 1,200 |
| 7 → 8 | 500 | 1,700 |
| 8 → 9 | 600 | 2,300 |
| 9 → 10 | 700 | 3,000 |
| 10+ | 500 per level | +500 each |

**XP earned per use:** 10 base + 20 if execute triggers + 10 if killing blow

### Detailed Mechanics

```
Turn 1: Hundred Miler (30 MP)
Turn 2: Shin Kick (FREE) → 400% × 1.75 = 700%
Turn 3: Brand New Hokas (FREE) → 200% × 1.75 = 350%

- Footsteps leave glowing trail marks
- Determination text floats above head
- Ultra-marathon race bib appears on character

**Buff Cannot Be:**
- Dispelled
- Shortened
- Stolen
- Suppressed

### Strategic Considerations

**When to Pop Hundred Miler:**
1. Boss fights (obvious)
2. When Monster Entourage is at max
3. Emergency survival (can't die effect)
