Mechanics Keywords

Name	Description
Block	Any attack can be blocked or spell blocked. Blocking will reduce the damage of the incoming attack by 50% or more depending on equipment and skill bonuses. The chance of being inflicted by a status effect from a blocked attack is reduced by the blocker’s damage reduction percentage for the block.
Channel	When a target is channeling, they are put in a vulnerable state where the channel can be interrupted by various mechanics. The channel will end one or more turns later (depending on the skill) and the skill will be executed in lieu of another action being taken.
Cleanse	Cleanse will cure a random negative status effect on the target.
Cleave	Attacks with Cleave hit both the target and the position immediately behind the target.
Combo	Some skills have combo conditions that, when met, will enhance the effects of a skill. Skills that have an available combo effect are highlighted in the UI.
Delay	An action that is taken on the current turn, but resolves at a defined point in the future. For example, a skill with Delay 30 would resolve in 30 Ticks. The Delay effect is shown in the Time Bar.
Pierce (X%)	Attacks with Pierce ignore X% of the target’s physical or magical defense.
Pull	Pull will move the target forward one or two positions (as indicated in the skill), and move what was in the new position into the target’s old position. Being pulled will interrupt Channeling.
Purify	Purify cleanses all negative status effects (that can be cleansed) from target.
Push	Push will move the target back one or two positions (as indicated in the skill), and move what was in the new position into the target’s old position. Being pushed will interrupt Channeling.
Recovery	At the start of each turn, a Hero or enemy has a small chance to self-cleanse a random status effect. The chances of this happening are tied to the vitality of the target.
Retaliate	For each instance this Hero receives damage, this Hero has a chance to Retaliate. If this Hero Retaliates, this Hero performs a basic attack targeting the attacker with damage equal to Retaliate X. Retaliate X = X(0.5ATTACK) Instances of Retaliate are checked sequentially. The range of a retaliatory basic attack is based on the currently equipped weapon. For each Position outside of the weapon’s base range, add an additional Degree of Difficulty (DoD) of 20. For instance, if the weapon's base range is 1 and the target of Retaliate is in P3, an additional DoD of 40 would be added to the attack.
Riposte	If target has X% Riposte, when physical damage is received, deal X% of the damage received to the attacker. This damage cannot be Dodged or Blocked. This damage is subject to Defense mitigation.
Stack Limit	In general, status effects may be stacked to increase their effect. However, some status effects have a stack limit. If the stack limit is reached and a new instance of the status effect is applied, the oldest effect will be removed and replaced with the new instance.

Name

Description

Block

Any attack can be blocked or spell blocked. Blocking will reduce the damage of the incoming attack by 50% or more depending on equipment and skill bonuses. The chance of being inflicted by a status effect from a blocked attack is reduced by the blocker’s damage reduction percentage for the block.

Channel

When a target is channeling, they are put in a vulnerable state where the channel can be interrupted by various mechanics. The channel will end one or more turns later (depending on the skill) and the skill will be executed in lieu of another action being taken.

Cleanse

Cleanse will cure a random negative status effect on the target.

Cleave

Attacks with Cleave hit both the target and the position immediately behind the target.

Combo

Some skills have combo conditions that, when met, will enhance the effects of a skill. Skills that have an available combo effect are highlighted in the UI.

Delay

An action that is taken on the current turn, but resolves at a defined point in the future. For example, a skill with Delay 30 would resolve in 30 Ticks.

The Delay effect is shown in the Time Bar.

Pierce (X%)

Attacks with Pierce ignore X% of the target’s physical or magical defense.

Pull

Pull will move the target forward one or two positions (as indicated in the skill), and move what was in the new position into the target’s old position. Being pulled will interrupt Channeling.

Purify

Purify cleanses all negative status effects (that can be cleansed) from target.

Push

Push will move the target back one or two positions (as indicated in the skill), and move what was in the new position into the target’s old position. Being pushed will interrupt Channeling.

Recovery

At the start of each turn, a Hero or enemy has a small chance to self-cleanse a random status effect. The chances of this happening are tied to the vitality of the target.

Retaliate

For each instance this Hero receives damage, this Hero has a chance to Retaliate.

If this Hero Retaliates, this Hero performs a basic attack targeting the attacker with damage equal to Retaliate X.

Retaliate X = X*(0.5*ATTACK)

Instances of Retaliate are checked sequentially.

The range of a retaliatory basic attack is based on the currently equipped weapon.

For each Position outside of the weapon’s base range, add an additional Degree of Difficulty (DoD) of 20.

For instance, if the weapon's base range is 1 and the target of Retaliate is in P3, an additional DoD of 40 would be added to the attack.

Riposte

If target has X% Riposte, when physical damage is received, deal X% of the damage received to the attacker.

This damage cannot be Dodged or Blocked.

This damage is subject to Defense mitigation.

Stack Limit

In general, status effects may be stacked to increase their effect. However, some status effects have a stack limit. If the stack limit is reached and a new instance of the status effect is applied, the oldest effect will be removed and replaced with the new instance.
