  • Overdrive lasts longer if your character’s health is low. During activation, the round timer also stops.
  • After Overdrive has ended, the Overdrive icon will show a number counter. Overdrive can be used again when the number reaches 10.
  • The number increases over time or damage taken, but during Active Flow, it charges much faster.
