Warhammer 40,000: Darktide just had its closed beta finished. While the overall gameplay was great according to most players there are some things that are still unclear. For example buffs or debuffs aren't really explained, so all players can do is guess.

Lets take a look at the "Soulblaze" debuff from the Psyker class talent Wrack and Ruin. Psyker builds often make use of Soulblaze.

What does the Soulblaze debuff do in Darktide?

Whenever you kill an Elite or specialist with the Brain Burst ability as a Psyker in Darktide, you apply Soulblaze to all enemies within 3 meters of the target. The enemies around will start glowing blueish. 

While the effect persists they simply do take damage over time. The Soulblaze debuff in Darktide is simply a damger over time effect.  You can see an example here:

You will often see the Soulblaze debuff in Darktide because Psykers like to focus the high value targets such as elites or specialists. And more often than not there are also weaker monsters around them, getting hit by the Soulblaze debuff.

There is also a Bleed debuff in Darktide that does a similar thing.
