Universal Mechanics

Instinct

Glory Days: TJ's attacks start and end quicker, increasing his advantage and making his mixups harder to defend against. His overall movement speed is also buffed.

Last Breath: If TJ loses his last life bar with full Instinct, he will get back up again with a small chunk of health and Instinct activated for half the usual time.
