Overheat

The user spins really fast and sets both of their legs on fire, increasing Dark Step's damage by ~22% for 60 seconds. Overheat also deals damage after the leg lights on fire, but it's best not to use it for doing damage since it does the same amount of damage as a singular M1 click.

Tactical Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths (Pros)
Good for farming in the First Sea.
Currently the cheapest fighting style in the game (excluding Combat, which is automatically given for free upon joining).
All moves have AoE.
Low mastery requirements.
Good combo potential for its price
Weaknesses (Cons)
Slowest M1 speed out of all the Fighting Styles, unless the player has an autoclicker (Combat is slightly faster).
Although it has good combo potential, its good skills which is X and C, are easily countered by Instinct.
Pairs badly with Buddha as the M1 attack is slow and weak, and most of the Dark Step abilities cannot hit Enemies while transformed.
Extremely low damage.
Outclassed by it's successor, Death Step.
