Sequence skill

Jump to navigationJump to search

Sequence skills are skills which, once activated, give access to another skill for additional effect. They are effectively multiple skills sharing one slot on a skill bar and activated in strict order. In some sequences, additional skills become available only if a special condition has been met by a previous skill, for example, an enemy has been successfully hit or an attack has been blocked.

Chains is a subset of sequence skills that occupy the first weapon skill slot and are set to auto-attack by default.
