Card Skills

Skills define what your adventurers do in battle and on quests. Every adventurer starts with innate skills and can learn many more from institutions across the central city. There is no limit to how many skills an adventurer can know.

Activation Types

Every skill has one of four activation types that determines how and when it fires in battle:

Conditional Trigger Types

Skill Categories

Skills belong to one of 7 battle categories, each with a distinct role in combat:

Normal

Basic attacks, the fallback action

Battle

Melee and weapon combat skills

Magic

Elemental spells with area effects

Defense

Protection, taunts, and resistances

Restorative

Healing, revival, and debuff removal

Enhance

Ally buffs and stat boosts

Curse

DOT, debuffs, and crowd control

Additionally, Gather and Craft are non-battle skill categories that improve quest efficiency and production yields.

Skill Rarity

Skills use a 1★ through 5★ rarity system. Higher-star skills have stronger effects and are prioritized in battle — your adventurers will always try to use their highest-star skill first.

When summoned, an adventurer’s innate skill star matches their rarity. Each additional star level is rolled independently:

Class & Skill Pairing

Each battle class has access to specific skill types through their associated institutions:

	Class	Skill Types	Banners
	Warrior	Battle, Defense
	Mage	Magic, Curse
	Healer	Restorative, Enhance
	Rogue	Battle
	Archer	Battle

All battle classes share access to some Defense and Normal skills.

How Skills Work in Battle

Battles use a timeline system. Each adventurer cycles through these states:

1. Ready — the adventurer selects a skill to use.
2. Casting — the skill is being executed (casting bar fills up).
3. Recovery — a brief pause after the skill fires before the adventurer can act again.
4. Cooldown — the used skill cannot be selected again until its cooldown expires.

At the start of battle, all Passive skills trigger immediately, applying their effects before anyone takes their first action.

Skill Selection Priority

When an adventurer is ready to act, they choose a skill in this order:

1. Conditional skills — triggered when a specific condition is met. Among available conditional skills, the highest-rarity one is chosen.
2. Active skills — main combat skills, chosen by highest rarity if no conditional skill applies.
3. Normal attack — the basic fallback when no other skills are available.

Higher-rarity skills are always preferred within each priority tier.

Targeting

Skills target enemies or allies in different ways. For single-target skills, the attacker’s position influences which enemy is targeted first.

Single Target

Multi-Target

Buffs & Debuffs

Skills can apply persistent effects that last for a duration. Multiple buffs and debuffs can be active simultaneously.
