'''Rampaging''' is an [[ego]] found on [[boots]] and [[artefact]]s, and innate to [[Armataur]]s. When the wearer moves directly towards an enemy (i.e. the enemy is positioned in one of the 8 directions from the wearer), rampage automatically causes an extra tile of movement. If the wearer is only one space away from an enemy, the wearer will move instantly, then make a melee attack at movement delay and stun the enemy for 5 [[aut]].

[[Cheibriados]] disapproves of the Rampaging ego, but doesn't mind Armataur rampaging.

Armataurs regenerate MP (and HP, starting from XL7) faster after making a rampage move. See the [[Armataur#Heal on Rampage|Armataur]] article for more information.

Rampaging can stack up to 3 times, giving an extra tile of free movement for each stack.

==Strategy==
Rampaging makes it easier to approach enemies. Melee fighters will take fewer hits when attacking ranged enemies. [[Stab]]bers are more likely to stab enemies before they notice.

However, rampaging takes control away from the player, as there's no way to turn it off. This can be a liability, e.g., it can cause you to overshoot a [[staircase]] you wanted to land on. Reckless use can also cause you to charge too deep into enemy lines, although this can be avoided by luring/retreating enemies before deciding to charge in.

===Tips & Tricks===
*Stabbers can get guaranteed stabs against foes 1 empty square away.
*In the event you find yourself with a horde in front of you and a weak enemy in another direction, these boots can aid you in your escape if you move towards them.
*Be cautious if you move towards an enemy in fog of war; you will uncover twice as many squares with each step, and may find yourself in a much more dangerous situation than you anticipated.
*Be mindful if you're trying to approach a [[staircase]]. If you want to move at normal speed, try zig-zagging, or moving in alternating diagonal directions.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.34]], Rampaging didn't stack. Also, free attacks were at attack delay, but there was no ministun when making a rampaging attack.
*Rampaging was added in [[0.26]], replacing the [[running]] ego on boots.
