Ability information#
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Base mana | 30 |
| Availability | Available on current weapon types |
Requirements#
- Requires the equipped weapon’s assigned primary/secondary slot, normally 70/90 base weapon skill and (unless overridden below) 70/90 base Tactics. Use Best Weapon Skill can satisfy the weapon threshold with base Swords, Macing or Fencing.
- Requires an SE-capable client. The inherited required secondary skill is Tactics base 50, in addition to the normal Tactics requirement.
Effects#
- Adds +50 percentage points at the weapon damage multiplier stage (DamageScalar 1.5).
Weapon assignments#
| Weapon | Ability slot | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Sai | Secondary | Current source assignment |
| Yumi | Primary | Current source assignment |
Notes#
- Currently assigned to Sai and Yumi. The description mentions partial armor bypass, but no ArmorPierce-specific armor bypass consumer exists in the audited damage path; BaseWeapon only flags ArmorIgnore or the supported special-move/Bladeweave alternatives.
- Base mana is reduced by the shared ability skill-total discount and Lower Mana Cost rules; a second paid ability within the three-second cooldown costs double.
