Recently

Recently means during the previous four seconds. It creates a rolling condition based on a named event such as being Hit, dealing a Critical Hit, spending Mana, consuming a Charge, reloading, Blocking, or Dodge Rolling. The event, subject, and verb must all match the modifier.

What Recently does

Current rules

Read the wording as a four-second history check. If you have been Hit Recently is true from the moment an enemy Hit affects you until four seconds after the latest qualifying Hit. If you have not been Hit Recently is the opposite. A new qualifying event restarts its own four-second window, while wording such as for each event Recently counts every matching event still inside that rolling window.

The window is four seconds: Recently refers to the previous four seconds. A modifier remains eligible while its named event occurred within that rolling period.
A repeated event refreshes the condition: When the same qualifying event occurs again, the four-second condition continues from the newest event. There is no gap between the old and refreshed windows.
Positive and negative checks are opposites: If you have been Hit Recently is active inside the window. If you have not been Hit Recently is active only when no qualifying Hit occurred in the previous four seconds. The same distinction applies to Dodge Rolled, Critically Hit, Blocked, or other named events.
The subject owns the event: If you have Hit checks the player, if your Minion has Killed checks that Minion, and enemies you have Hit checks the target history created by the player. Another party member performing the event does not satisfy your condition unless the wording includes them.
The exact verb matters: Hit, Critically Hit, Blocked, Parried, Stunned, consumed a Charge, gained Rage, spent Mana, reloaded, and Dodge Rolled are different events. One does not imply another unless the same action actually satisfies both definitions.
For each event counts a rolling total: Wording such as for each Critical Hit dealt Recently or for each time Hit Recently counts the matching events whose individual timestamps remain in the four-second window. Each event falls out of the total when it becomes older than four seconds.
Recently is not the duration of a granted buff: The four-second history check determines whether a condition is true. If the effect then grants a separately named Buff for a stated duration, that Buff follows its own duration and expiration rules.
Explicit time wording overrides the keyword: A modifier that says in the past 8 seconds, 10 seconds, or another duration uses that stated window. Do not replace an explicit duration with the four-second Recently definition.

MechanicRage

Rage is a combat resource that inherently grants 1% more Attack Damage per point. Characters have 30 maximum Rage by default. Rage generation is limited to one Hit every 0.5 seconds, and inherent Rage loss begins after four seconds without gaining Rage or taking damage.

MechanicEnergy Shield Recharge

Energy Shield Recharge is a recovery process that normally starts after a four-second delay and restores 12.5% of maximum Energy Shield per second. Losing Energy Shield or Life ordinarily interrupts it and restarts the delay. Recharge is Recovery, not Regeneration.

MechanicExplosive Fervour

Explosive Fervour is Redemption's 10-second Grenade burst state. It begins when 10 Explosive Rhythm stacks are consumed. While active, Grenade Skills ignore cooldowns, fire one additional projectile, and make Grenades explode on any impact. It also grants 15% increased Attack Speed for each different Grenade Skill used Recently.

MechanicSurrounded

You are Surrounded when at least five enemies are within 3 metres of your character. Surrounded is a condition, not a Buff: it has no duration, does not stack, and grants nothing by itself. Items, passive skills, and Support Gems check whether the condition is currently true and apply their own listed effects while it is.
