Effect

Slows enemies in a wide area

Torpor is the Special Ability of the Staff of Sloth in 33 Immortals. It casts a powerful area-of-effect (AoE) slow on enemies, consuming all available Sloth energy. This ability excels at battlefield control, delaying enemy movements and giving allies time to reposition, escape, or set up burst combos during raids and boss fights.

Overview

Upon activation, Torpor slows enemies in a frontal area for several seconds. The longer the player holds the activation button, the wider the AoE becomes. At full Sloth (100), the slow duration reaches maximum effect, making it one of the strongest support tools in the game.

Mechanics

• Consumes **all** available Sloth on use
• The slow effect scales with how much Sloth was stored (full = ~9 seconds of slow)
• Enter a 2-second cooldown after use
• Area width increases with button hold duration
• Does not deal direct damage, but enhances Stagger Buildup and control

Activation

• Performed by pressing the Special Ability button while using the Staff of Sloth
• Can be aimed in a cone-shaped zone
• Higher Empathy increases the effectiveness of the slow indirectly (via synergy)

Synergies

• Slowed enemies are easier to stagger using Charge Attacks
• Ideal for zoning elites, defending allies, or stalling boss mechanics
• Combines well with the Co-op Power Super Slow for layered battlefield lockdown
• Relics and Perks that improve ability duration or area further enhance Torpor's value

Weapon Mastery Variants

Torpor benefits from mastery upgrades such as:

• Torpor Wave – Transforms Torpor into a forward-moving projectile
• Lethargy – Makes slow stronger, but removes passive Sloth regeneration
• Outburst – Periodically deals damage to nearby slowed enemies
• Bouncing Orbs – Increases synergy with slow fields for ranged control

Visual Indicator

• Cast creates a blue-tinted AoE zone in front of the player
• Enemies inside appear sluggish and visually affected by torpor mist
• Torpor may pulse subtly to indicate active slow duration

Strategy

• Use to freeze fast-moving mobs, especially during Torture Chambers or boss phases
• Cast before reviving teammates to safely zone enemies
• Charge the ability before triggering for maximum zone width
• Combine with Stagger and Co-op Powers to enable team burst damage

Summary

Torpor is the essence of divine suppression in *33 Immortals*. As the battlefield slows and enemies falter, Torpor grants your rebellion the breathing space needed to strike with unity and precision. Master it, and time itself becomes your ally.
