Wake of Vultures

The Wake of Vultures is a Rare item in Risk of Rain 2.

This item grants the user the specialties of Elite enemies they kill for 8 seconds, with each subsequent Wake increasing this time by 5 seconds.

The effects are: Multiple effects can be active at once.
 * Blazing Elite; enemies are ignited on hit, a trail of fire follows in the players wake.
 * Glacial Elite; enemies are slowed down on hit.
 * Overloading Elite; hits spawn exploding electric spheres. This also adds half of your life as extra shield for the duration.

Trivia

 * Wake of Vultures is a reference in both effect and appearance to the "Headhunter" item from the game Path of Exile.
 * "Wake" is one of the collective nouns assigned to buzzards and vultures, among "Venue" and "Colony". A wake, however, specifically refers to the animal when they are circling a dying animal, thereby being a "wake".

Bugs

 * Currently, killing Overloading elites may make the players shield stretch past the intended lifebar.
