Tick
Basic Information
Type(s)	Terminology

Tick refers to the moment a "damage over time" or "heal over time" spell or ability affects the target during its duration. Ticks may be influenced by character stats, buffs, or spell and ability upgrades.

Example

For example, a damage over time spell may tick every 3 seconds for a duration of 12 seconds, meaning the character affected by the debuff will be damaged four times within the 12 second timeframe.
