Dragonchant Skill Optimization



Prologue
After heroic efforts made in Demon Continent, the Dragonchant pioneers have mastered powerful skills and fight styles. Eventually, they made a triumphant return and the lords are inducted into the skills of combat. But stay on guard, the enemies will be more savage and cruel along the way.



Entry
Dragonchant - Skills







Description
In consideration of the poor interaction between Dragonchant and Character skills in terms of damage, coherence, balancing and differentiation, it is decided that the Dragonchant skill system shall be redone. The optimization aims to combine the two types of skills and add new ones to improve skill damage and comprehensibility.

Skill Points Distribution
How to learn a skill?

2. When a skill is learned and the remaining skill points are >0, available follow-up skills will be highlighted by an indicative arrow and a solid-lined frame. All tier 1 skills are learned by default without costing any skill points. When a skill is reset, the corresponding tier 1 skills will be kept.
3. Reset skill points to revamp all currently activated skills.



Skill Types




1. There are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 active skills and one passive skill, a total of 6 skills, available, among which 1-5 skills of tier 1 shall be allocated to hotkeys 1-5 respectively.
2. Players may set skill hotkeys as they prefer.



Save Skills




1. A total of 3 skill sets are available and the 1st one is activated by default. When switched, the skill hotkeys will be replaced simultaneously and a piece of yellow highlighted information will be displayed on central screen indicating that skills have been switched to Set 2?
2. When a player opens the panel, the 1st or the currently activated set will be the active set by default.



Skill Effects

New Effects
1. Passive:

• Fixed Buffs: Decreases all enemy units HP, ATK and Defense,or increases self HP, ATK and Defense.
• Random buff/debuffs: Chances to restore self HP or increase self Crit, or dispel debuffs, or add flame.

Passive skills of the Dragonchant cannot stack between party members.

2. Active: Attack an enemy unit and add flames to the target. The flame explodes when it stacks to 5 and causes damage in percentage to caster’s ATK; or, attack an enemy unit and add flames to the target. The target gets 1 debuff (Chaos/Amnesia - forget 3 skills/decreased awakening point) by random when flame stacks to 5 and reset flames to 0 thereafter.

3. When flames stack to 5, the next enemy unit will explode before it makes a move or receive debuffs after the move.

4. Whether the flame effect causes explosion or inflicts debuffs to an enemy unit, will be determined by the skill/buff the last flame gives to the caster.
