Imbue

In Update 57, several existing abilities that granted extra damage, usually on weapon hits, were consolidated into the imbue system.

Characters can gain imbues from various sources.
Imbues are toggles: You have to drag them to a hotbar and enable to become active.
Only one imbue can be active at a time.
Various effects that were originally used to increase the damage of a particular imbue system are streamlined and grant extra imbue dice. Extra imbue dice from various sources stack. You can check your bonus Imbue Dice on the character sheet's Details+ Tab
Your imbue damage is multiplied by Doublestrike and Doubleshot.
Note that the Arcane Archer trees include several enhancements called "Arcane Archer Secondary Imbue Toggles." These are not standard imbues; as such, a player may have an Arcane Archer Secondary Imbue Toggle active in addition to a normal imbue. These imbues are accordingly not listed on this page.
