spike grinders

How it works

Obtaining the item grants extra maximum health and displays a charge meter. The four-part basic sequence combines punches and swings, finishing with knockback and ragdoll. Damage fills the meter, which becomes ready at eight hundred. The wiki says unused full charge starts draining after a delay unless damage is dealt again. Merely seeing a nearly full meter does not guarantee the revival condition is satisfied at the next hit.

With full charge, qualifying fatal damage triggers a protected transformation that increases maximum health and heals the user. The revived state removes access to the other inventory slots, grants immunity to several control effects and shortens Mutilate’s cooldown. Block is unavailable because Maraude now occupies its place. Before transformation, Block increases defense but prevents attacking during the guard.

Maraude sends the user upward and creates inner and outer landing areas. Its center damage increases against a ragdolled victim, while the outer shockwave has its own smaller damage value. This explains the documented Mutilate-into-Maraude interaction without turning every landing into the maximum possible hit. The wiki lists inconsistent environmental-hazard interactions, so those hazards are not presented as a dependable way to activate revival. The item’s design reference is Killing Floor.

Charge, transformation and landing damage are separate conditions, so a comparison should name which stage the user has actually reached.
