Perfect Flash
Tier 2Perfect Flash is a Tier 2 Spirit Charm in VV: Ultimatum that makes a melee basic or critical attack landed out of combat deal 2.5x damage - working even on full-HP opponents - on a 60-second cooldown.
Perfect Flash is the assassin's opener - "The unseen blade is the deadliest." Landing a melee basic or critical attack while out of combat deals 2.5x damage, on a 60-second cooldown, and the tooltip explicitly notes it also applies to full-HP opponents - closing the loophole where first-strike bonuses often fail against untouched targets.
The out-of-combat requirement defines its use: this is a first-hit multiplier, not a rotation tool. Ambushes, invasion openers, third-partying an ongoing fight - anywhere you can arrive unengaged and land one clean melee hit, that hit carries two and a half times its weight. After the opener, the charm goes quiet until you can reset out of combat and the 60 seconds elapse.
Its effect is also referenced by other charms: Backline Buster procs Perfect Flash on target swaps and Raid Boss procs it periodically at 7 battle-fever stacks, making this the reference version of the mechanic. Perfect Flash requires Level 10; its zone, weight, and drop or vendor source are not documented in current community documentation.

FAQ
Does Perfect Flash work on opponents at full health?
Yes - the tooltip states the 2.5x multiplier also applies to full-HP opponents, so it functions as a true ambush opener.
Can Perfect Flash proc during a fight?
Not by itself - you must be out of combat when the hit lands. Other charms (Backline Buster, Raid Boss at 7 stacks) can proc its effect under their own conditions.
