Ultimate Accelerant

Ultimate Accelerant
Restores 35% Ultimate energy.
Type	Regen
Loot tier	Level 2
Stack size	1
Use time	7 seconds

The Ultimate Accelerant is a regen item which can be used to gain charge for ultimate abilities. It takes 7 seconds to use and, for most legends, grants 35% of their ultimate charge. Unlike other regen items, the Ultimate Accelerant can be used via Z/ + / + / + while the ultimate is not ready.

Two legends interact with Ultimate Accelerants differently than most. Wattson's Spark of Genius passive allows her to carry 2 Accelerants per inventory slot, and causes them to charge her ultimate completely. Loba's ultimate, Black Market Boutique, only restores 25% charge from Accelerants.
