Role

Crowd Control / Zone Expansion / Area Denial

Chain Slow is a specialized Relic in 33 Immortals that causes slow effects applied to one enemy to chain to nearby enemies. This relic enhances zone control by exponentially increasing the reach of your slow-based abilities such as Torpor and Super Slow, making it highly effective in mob-heavy or elite wave situations.

Overview

With Chain Slow equipped, applying a slow to one enemy can spread it to others within a short radius, allowing zone-based crowd control to affect entire groups instead of isolated targets. This creates chain reactions that turn small control zones into widespread debilitation fields.

Mechanics

• When an enemy is affected by a slow (e.g., Torpor), nearby enemies also become slowed
• The chain spread is automatic and passive
• Chain range and speed scale with relic tier
• Effect applies to all slows you cause—including Co-op Powers and relic-based slows
• Does not consume resources or rely on critical hits

Benefits

• Significantly extends the reach of slow-based abilities
• Increases crowd control efficiency in large groups
• Ideal for locking down elite spawns, revive zones, or choke points
• Allows one ability cast to affect an entire wave of enemies

Best Synergies

• Staff of Sloth – Primary weapon for applying slows
• Torpor / Torpor Wave – Initial slow spreads to additional enemies
• Super Slow – Chain effect magnifies the impact of your Co-op Power
• Zone Hazard – Slowed enemies remain longer in damaging zones

Strategy

• Cast slows into the center of tightly packed enemy groups to maximize spread
• Combine with Zone Amplifier to increase the initial zone and chain coverage
• Excellent for team fights, Chambers, and boss phases with large enemy spawns
• Stack with Empathy to increase slow strength and effect duration

Visual Indicators

• A ripple or shock-like effect may spread to nearby enemies as the slow chains
• Affected enemies show slow status icons and reduced movement speed
• Slows propagate quickly within a short radius of each new target

Summary

Chain Slow makes your control contagious. What starts as a single enemy trapped in Torpor becomes a whole battlefield caught in your grasp. For players who specialize in zone disruption, this relic transforms every cast into a wave of suppression in 33 Immortals.
