- Cost: 1 AP (Action Point)
- Area of effect: Self
- Cooldown: 1 turn
- Kibellah's next single-target melee attack splashes blood in a 5-cell cone behind the target.

Cells in the affected area become covered in blood for 2 rounds. Creatures standing in one of the blood-covered cells receive an extra stack of the bloodblessed / bloodstained effect. For every 10 wounds Kibellah loses during combat, the ability deals +1 stack of bloodblessed / bloodstained.
You can also select from the following unique talents when levelling up:
- Crimson Tide: A creature with the bloodblessed or bloodstained effect gains +1 stack of this effect whenever Raining Blood is inflicted again or whenever it starts its turn on a blood-covered cell.
- Dance of Blood: The assassin's allies deal +(2 + AGI bonus)% more damage to enemies if both the ally and the target are standing on blood-covered cells.

Flagship Abilities: Exact Prediction
Tips
- The key ability early on is Blood Oath coupled with the Blood Rush talent, which allows you to keep the kill spree ticking along by moving close enough to the next enemy to launch Death From Above.
- Later Blade Dancer abilities are less impactful; Acrobatic Artistry is taken due to availability.
- The Executioner levels focus on stacking Damage Over Time (DOTs), making Drukhari Weapon Proficiency for poisoned swords highly recommended.
- Kibellah has no inherent way to add burning effects, but bleeding and toxin provide sufficient DOTs.
