Tips
- The unnamed shout skill is excellent for builds focused on inflicting conditions, as it scales with debuffs on enemies.
- Watch Yourself provides a temporary armor boost, useful in early game encounters but limited by its short duration.
- Axe Rake and Axe Twist offer conditional benefits when foes are suffering from deep wounds, with Axe Twist potentially being more valuable for its weakness effect in PvP.
- Backbreaker is an elite skill that provides significant damage and a knockdown, but requires a high adrenaline cost.
- Balanced Stance offers crowd control immunity and prevents extra damage from critical hits, making it versatile for survivability.
- Battle Rage grants increased movement speed and adrenaline gain but has a strict condition of not using non-attack skills to maintain its benefits.
- Bonetti's Defense is a powerful defensive skill that can rapidly regenerate energy by blocking attacks, especially effective in group combat.
- Bull's Charge and Bull's Strike are effective for controlling fleeing enemies, with Bull's Charge being an elite skill for a knockdown and Bull's Strike for damage and knockdown.
