Chef makes a triumphant return and is ready to utilize his abilities to dish out the pain:
Dice
Hurl your cleavers at faraway enemies and call them back to slice and dice with twice the pain. Monsters hit on the return journey will take an additional chunk of damage.
Sear
Brings the burn. Chef cooks monsters for big damage while inflicting burn on all enemies in range.
Roll
The longer you spin up the more damage Chef will do as it speed ahead on its Roller knocking back and stunning enemies in its path.
Glaze
Roll along a wave of oil while slowing all enemies in your path. Any enemies impacted will be stunned and take increased damage.
Chef’s Kiss (passive)
If you hit two or more skills before finishing them off, they’ll turn into a delightful treat. The healing from these can really help you out in a pinch.
