Spike damage

Spike Damage is the type of damage that is instantaneous, as opposed to degeneration skills such as Conjure Phantasm or conditions such as Bleeding. Examples of spike damage skills are Chain Lightning and Aftershock, both of which deal a very large amount of damage very quickly. Spike Damage is most effective against teams which use regeneration skills such as Healing Breeze, since the foe takes damage more quickly then they are healing it back. Spike Healing counters spike damage by healing the amount of health that was lost or more instantly.
